Hi dear list: Please forgive my lack of Perl credentials, but i am a complete beginner
But, and that is the problem, I do have an urgent issue and that's why I came to perl in the very first instance I have a CSV file, which comes in the following format: a,b,.,.,.,.,.,.,. b,c,d,.,.,.,.,.,. e,f,g,h,.,.,.,.,. i,j,k,l,m,.,.,.,. and so on My problem: how could I get rid of the trailing points and commas, so the output CSV file could get following neat format (without the trailing points and its commas separators): a,b b,c,d e,f,g,h i,j,k,l,m I mean, the points repressent missing values in the original CSV, which are separated by commas Once the points start to appear in the line, the line does not hold any not-missing value, I mean, after a points starts, there will be only points (and their commas separators) till the end of the line If a perl program could detect a point, in a line, the logic of the solution could be to make a Return to the next line, forgetting the rest of the previous line. How could I manage that operation with perl ?
