Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Converting Month into Integer Post 302662415 by alister on Tuesday 26th of June 2012 01:44:54 PM

I would suggest using a simple case statement. It's not especially clever, but it's tailor-made for this scenario.

Code:
case $month_name in
    Jan) month_number=1;;
    Feb) month_number=2;;
    Mar) month_number=3;;
esac

marc::lint::codedata

MARC::Lint::CodeData(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 MARC::Lint::CodeData(3pm)

NAME

       MARC::Lint::CodeData -- Contains codes from the MARC code lists for Geographic Areas, Languages, and Countries.

DESCRIPTION

       Code data is used for validating fields 008, 040, 041, and 043.

       Also, sources for subfield 2 in 600-651 and 655.

       Stores codes in hashes, %MARC::Lint::CodeData::[name].

       Note: According to the official MARC documentation, Sears is not a valid 655

       term. The code data below treats it as valid, in anticipation of a change in

       the official documentation.

SYNOPSIS

       use MARC::Lint::CodeData;

       #Should provide access to the following:

       #%MARC::Lint::CodeData::GeogAreaCodes;

       #%MARC::Lint::CodeData::ObsoleteGeogAreaCodes;

       #%MARC::Lint::CodeData::LanguageCodes;

       #%MARC::Lint::CodeData::ObsoleteLanguageCodes;

       #%MARC::Lint::CodeData::CountryCodes;

       #%MARC::Lint::CodeData::ObsoleteCountryCodes;

       #%MARC::Lint::CodeData::Sources600_651;

       #%MARC::Lint::CodeData::ObsoleteSources600_651;

       #%MARC::Lint::CodeData::Sources655;

       #%MARC::Lint::CodeData::ObsoleteSources655;

       #or, import specific code list data

       use MARC::Lint::CodeData qw(%GeogAreaCodes);

       my $gac = "n-us---";

       my $validgac = 1 if ($GeogAreaCodes{$gac});

       print "Geographic Area Code $gac is valid
" if $validgac;

EXPORT

       None by default.

       @EXPORT_OK: %GeogAreaCodes, %ObsoleteGeogAreaCodes, %LanguageCodes, %ObsoleteLanguageCodes, %CountryCodes, %ObsoleteCountryCodes,
       %Sources600_651, %ObsoleteSources600_651, %Sources655, %ObsoleteSources655.

TO DO

       Update codes as needed (see <http://www.loc.gov/marc/>).

       Add other codes for MARC Code Lists for Relators, Sources, Description Conventions.

       Determine what to do about 600-655 codes with indicators (cash, lcsh, lcshac,

       mesh, nal, and rvm). Currently, these are duplicated in valid and obsolete

       hashes. Validation routines should probably treat these differently due to large

       numbers of records using these codes, created before the indicators were

       allowed.

       Determine whether three blank spaces should be in the LanguageCodes (for 008 validation) or not.

       If it is here, then 041 would be allowed to have three blank spaces as a valid code

       (though other checks would report the error--spaces at the beginning and ending of a subfield

       and multiple spaces in a field where such a thing is not allowed).

   SEE ALSO
       MARC::Lint

       MARC::Lintadditions (for check_040, check_041, check_043 using these codes)

       MARC::Errorchecks (for 008 validation using these codes)

       <http://www.loc.gov/marc/> for the official code lists.

       The following (should be included in the distribution package for this package):

       countrycodelistclean.pl

       gaccleanupscript.pl

       languagecodelistclean.pl

       The scripts above take the MARC code list ASCII version as input.

       They output tab-separated codes for updating the data below.
