I have a scenario in which palettes are weighed prior to delivery and then that data is submitted to a server. Once the data is transferred, I have to parse a batch file and strip out information for each shipment number and format it for print.
The problem is that one shipment might have more than one palette and I don't know how to strip multiple lines of data (with a unique shipment number) for processing. I'm using Active Perl 5.8 in a Windows environment. For Example here are a few lines of dummy data (header provided for information only): ShipmentNumber Weight Date Time LocationID 01000 254 03082005 11:25:21 500 01000 210 03082005 11:27:36 500 01401 112 03082005 11:35:21 500 01401 678 03082005 11:37:36 500 01002 450 03082005 17:54:00 001 01785 105 03082005 03:05:67 250 I need to be able to parse this data and know that shipment #01000 has 2 pallets, that shipment #01401 has 2 pallets, that shipment #01002 has only 1 pallet, and so on... I also need to know which shipment # belongs to which locationid. I think I know how to perform every task necessary with the exception of knowing how many pallets are with each shipment #. Any ideas? ******************************************************* This message contains information that is confidential and proprietary to FedEx Freight or its affiliates.
