Hi Colin,
I have had to deal with this sort of things on quite a number of
occasions, and I have my own little perl script, which is very similar
to Paul's, mine came straight out of the perl cookbook ;-)
If you replace Paul's last print statement with:
print join('|', @fields), $/;
you will end up with a filter that produces a '|'-separated file,
which can then be processed with shell/awk/cut etc., or whatever your
users are comfortable with.
I'll have to look into this some more when I have time. A script like
this could be very useful for preparing the formated output from the
program in question. Everyone could just run their data through this
script and then modify some awk commands to get the fields of their
choice. Thanks Fred and Paul for the suggestions.
