converting config file to csv format
Hello,
For 2 days now i've been searching for a solution to this. I am now beginning to doubt this is even possible. It's even harder when you don't know how to search for it. (which keywords generate enough relevancy etc..)
I need to parse a config file to generate a CSV file in return.
It would need to take these parameters out of the file:
define host{
host_name hostA
parents hostNull
}
--
define host{
host_name hostB
parents hostA
}
--
define host{
host_name hostC
parents hostB
}
--
and create this:
host,parent
hostA,hostNull
hostB,hostA
hostC,hostB
Does anyone know a solution to this or can someone point me out to some doc that explains how ?

Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::EncodeGuess(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::EncodeGuess(3pm)
NAME
Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::EncodeGuess - Text::CSV::Encoded coder class using Encode::Guess
SYNOPSIS
use Text::CSV::Encoded coder_class => 'Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::EncodeGuess';
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
my $csv = Text::CSV::Encoded->new();
$csv->encoding( ['ucs2', 'ascii'] ); # guessing ucs2 or ascii?
$csv->encoding_to_combine('shiftjis');
my $excel = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook->Parse( $file );
my $sheet = $excel->{Worksheet}->[0];
for my $row ( $sheet->{MinRow} .. $sheet->{MaxRow} ) {
my @fields;
for my $col ( $sheet->{MinCol} .. $sheet->{MaxCol} ) {
my $cell = $sheet->{Cells}[$row][$col];
push @fields, $cell->{Val};
}
$csv->combine( @fields ) or die;
print $csv->string, "
";
}
DESCRIPTION
This module is inherited from Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::Encode.
USE
Except for 2 attributes, same as Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::Encode.
encoding_in
$csv = $csv->encoding_in( $encoding_list_ref );
The accessor to an encoding for pre-parsing CSV strings. If no encoding is given, returns current $encoding, otherwise the object itself.
$encoding_list_ref = $csv->encoding_in()
When you pass a list reference, it might guess the encoding from the given list.
$csv->encoding_in( ['shiftjis', 'euc-jp', 'iso-20022-jp'] );
If it cannot guess the encoding, the first encoding of the list is used.
encoding
$csv = $csv->encoding( $encoding_list_ref );
$encoding_list_ref = $csv->encoding();
You can pass a list reference to this attribute only:
* For list data consumed by combine().
* For list reference returned by getline().
In other word, in "combine" and "print", it might guess an encoding for the passing list data. If it cannot guess the encoding, the first
encoding of the list is used.
