Check for length which exceeds specified length in a line
Hi,
I have a issue, I need to loop through a comma delimited file and check for the length which exceeds specified length , if Yes truncate the string.
But my problem is , I do not have to check for all the fields and the field lenght is not same for all the fields.
For ex:
Say my line
ahjdh,dfhkajhdf,adhklf,eiour
say I need to check length only for 2nd and 4th and max length for 2nd is 6 and max length for 4th field is 4.
Can somebody please help me.
I was trying with AWK , but couldn't move forward with it , please let me know if my logic is correct.

HTML::FormFu::Deflator::CompoundSplit(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation HTML::FormFu::Deflator::CompoundSplit(3pm)NAME
HTML::FormFu::Deflator::CompoundSplit - CompoundSplit deflator
SYNOPSIS ---
element:
- type: Multi
name: address
elements:
- name: number
- name: street
deflator:
- type: CompoundSplit
# set the default
$form->get_field('address')->default( $address );
DESCRIPTION
Deflator to allow you to set several field's values at once.
For use with a HTML::FormFu::Element::Multi group of fields.
A default value passed to the Multi field will be split according to the "split" setting, and its resulting parts passed to its child
elements.
METHODS
split
Arguments: $regex
Default Value: "qr/ +/"
Regex used to split the default value. Defaults to a regex matching 1 or more space characters.
join
Arguments: $string
Default Value: ' '
If spliting the value results in more parts than there are fields, any extra parts are joined again to form the value for the last field.
The value of "join" is used to join these values.
Defaults to a single space.
For example, if the Multi element contains fields "number" and "name", and is given the value "10 Downing Street"; when split this results
in 3 parts: 10, "Downing" and "Street". In this case, the 1st part, 10 is assigned to the first field, and the 2nd and 3rd parts are re-
joined with a space to give the single value "Downing Street", which is assigned to the 2nd field.
field_order
Arguments: @order
If the parts from the split value should be assigned to the fields in a different order, you must provide an arrayref containing the names,
in the order they should be assigned to.
