Problem in creating CSV file
Hi guys,
I am not experienced with Unix, so please dont mind if the question seem to be irrelevant.
I have written a simple script, that connects DB & fetches few records from a table. I wanted to get those details as file in .CSV format via mail.
-I stored the query o/p in a file.
-I squeezed all space character, then translated all space character into ',' (by help of 'tr' command only) [I know by this we can create .csv file]
-And finally I renamed the file into .CSV format (by mv command)
-But when I mailed that file as attachment (uuencode & mailx command), I am getting the data in strange format, some box symbols are appearing, though the data are OK but they are not readable properly.When I copy/paste those content in textpad, they are again visible fine.
Can someone please help me to view those data in .CSV file (or excel) in proper tabular format.
Thanks in adv.

image::exiftool::import
Image::ExifTool::Import(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Image::ExifTool::Import(3pm)
NAME
Image::ExifTool::Import - Import CSV and JSON database files
SYNOPSIS
use Image::ExifTool::Import qw(ReadCSV ReadJSON);
$err = ReadCSV($csvFile, \%database);
$err = ReadJSON($jsonfile, \%database);
DESCRIPTION
This module contains routines for importing tag information from CSV (Comma Separated Value) and JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) database
files.
EXPORTS
Exports nothing by default, but ReadCSV and ReadJSON may be exported.
METHODS
ReadCSV / ReadJSON
Read CSV or JSON file into a database hash.
Inputs:
0) CSV file name.
1) Hash reference for database object.
2) Optional flag to set '-' values to undef in the database. (Used for deleting tags.)
3) [ReadJSON only] Optional character set for converting Unicode escape sequences in strings. Defaults to "UTF8". See the ExifTool
Charset option for a list of valid settings.
Return Value:
These functions return an error string, or undef on success and populate the database hash with entries from the CSV or JSON file.
Entries are keyed based on the SourceFile column of the CSV or JSON information, and are stored as hash lookups of tag name/value for
each SourceFile.
