Flat file-make field length equal to header length
Hello Everyone,
I am stuck with one issue while working on abstract flat file which i have to use as input and load data to table.
Input Data-
------ ------------------------ ---- -----------------
WFI001 Xxxxxx Control Work Item A Number of Records
------ ------------------------ ---- -------------------------
WFI001 Xxxxxx Control Work Item B Count of Distinct Hook Id
------ ------------------------ ---- -------------------
WFI001 Xxxxxx Control Work Item C Sum of Workitem Num
------ ---------------------- ---- -----------------
WFI008 Xxxxxx Control DocTABA A Number of Records
You can consider ----- as header for a field.
I cant starighforward load this file because if you check column values -they have spaces in them ;so i need to enclose indivisual column in double quotes.
Output i expect is
"WFI001" "Xxxxxx Control Work Item" "A" "Number of Records"
"WFI001" "Xxxxxx Control Work Item" "B" "Count of Distinct Hook Id "
"WFI001" "Xxxxxx Control Work Item" "C" "Sum of Workitem Num "
"WFI008" "Xxxxxx Control DocTABA" "A" "Number of Records "
Any help or suggestions in this query will be of great help.
Thanks!!!

Hi,
We receive flat files with fixed width data
Now our goal is append from right null or space to each record if the lenght of the record is less than for example 10.
for example
123 45 6 0
123 45
123 45 6
123
and output should be

prima::detailedoutline
Prima::DetailedOutline(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Prima::DetailedOutline(3)
NAME
Prima::DetailedOutline - a multi-column outline viewer with controlling header widget.
SYNOPSIS
use Prima::DetailedOutline;
my $l = $w-> insert( 'Prima::DetailedList',
columns => 2,
headers => [ 'Column 1', 'Column 2' ],
items => [
[ ['Item 1, Col 1', 'Item 1, Col 2'], [
[ ['Item 1-1, Col 1', 'Item 1-1, Col 2'] ],
[ ['Item 1-2, Col 1', 'Item 1-2, Col 2'], [
[ ['Item 1-2-1, Col 1', 'Item 1-2-1, Col 2'] ],
] ],
] ],
[ ['Item 2, Col 1', 'Item 2, Col 2'], [
[ ['Item 2-1, Col 1', 'Item 2-1, Col 2'] ],
] ],
],
);
$l-> sort(1);
DESCRIPTION
Prima::DetailedOutline combines the functionality of Prima::OutlineViewer and Prima::DetailedList.
API
This class inherits all the properties, methods, and events of Prima::OutlineViewer (primary ancestor) and Prima::DetailedList (secondary
ancestor). One new property is introduced, and one property is different enough to warrant mention.
Methods
items ARRAY
Each item is represented by an arrayref with either one or two elements. The first element is the item data, an arrayref of text
strings to display. The second element, if present, is an arrayref of child items.
When using the node functionality inherited from Prima::OutlineViewer, the item data (that is, the arrayref of text strings) is the
first element of the node.
autoRecalc BOOLEAN
If this is set to a true value, the column widths will be automatically recalculated (via "autowidths") whenever a node is expanded or
collapsed.
