Perl script to sort an Excel file
Hello!
I need to sort a file that is partly in English partly in Bulgarian.
The original file is an Excel file but I converted it to a tab-delimited text file. The encoding of the tab delimited file is UTF-8.
To sort the text, the script should test every line of the text file to see if there are any Cyrillic UTF-8 characters.
Even if a single Cyrillic character is found, it will be quite enough to conclude that the line is in Bulgarian. If no Cyrillic character is found, then the text should be in English.
The UTF-8 range of Cyrillic characters is U+0400 to U+04FF
After finding a Cyrillic character the script should add at the end the same line Tab+'bg'; when no Cyrillic character is found in the line, Tab+'en' should be added to the end of the line. I need the tabs so that I can open the file back in Excel and sort the lines.
I believe the script should be best written in Perl.
My system is MS Windows XP Professional. I have cygwin+Perl and Strawberry Perl installed.
Thanks in advance!
