CSV file
I am new to script writing. With the help of others I now have a script that reads the files names in a folder and records each file name in a comma delimited file. "import.txt".
I can now import this into Open office Calc as a TextCSV file but it places each file name at the head of a separate column.
What I really want is to be able to import the file such that it shows each file name in a separate row but in the 1 column.
It seems to me I need some how to put a return. line feed or carriage return in where the , is in the script.
How do I do this?
I known one can do an Edit cut and the a special paste in a way that transposes the data base from a single long row of data and to a single column but this is messy for the numbers I have to do. So if it can be done in the generation of the CSV file it would be a lot beter and easier.
I am using OpenOffice 3.3, and Fedora 14 64 bit as the OS
The current script in the area where the comma is is
"$LINE," >> import.txt: done.
This works fine for what I want but it gives the end results as I say with the file name one per column when importing as comma delimited.
Thanks

bb-csvinfo.cgi
BB-CSVINFO.CGI(1) General Commands Manual BB-CSVINFO.CGI(1)
NAME
bb-csvinfo.cgi - CGI program to show host information from a CSV file
SYNOPSIS
bb-csvinfo.cgi
DESCRIPTION
bb-csvinfo.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the bb-csvinfo.sh CGI wrapper. Based on the parameters it receives, it searches a comma-
separated file for the matching host, and presents the information found as a table.
bb-csvinfo.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the following parameters:
key (string to search for, typically hostname)
column (columnnumber to search - default 0)
db (name of the CSV database file in $BBHOME/etc/, default hostinfo.csv)
delimiter (delimiter character for columns, default semi-colon)
CSV files are easily created from e.g. spreadsheets, by exporting them in CSV format. You should have one host per line, with the first
line containing the column headings. Despite their name, the default delimiter for CSV files is the semi-colon - if you need a different
delimiter, invoke bb-csvinfo.cgi with the "delimiter=<character>" in the query string.
Example usage
This example shows how you can use the bb-csvinfo CGI. It assumes you have a CSV-formatted file with information about the hosts stored as
$BBHOME/etc/hostinfo.csv, and the hostname is in the first column of the file.
Use with the bbgen --docurl
The --docurl option to bbgen(1) sets up all of the hostnames on your Xymon webpages to act as links to a CGI script. To invoke the
bb-csvinfo CGI script, run bbgen with the option
--docurl=/cgi-bin/bb-csvinfo.sh?db=hostinfo.csv&key=%s
