Add a field separator (comma) inside a line of a CSV file
Hi... I can't find my little red AWK book and it's been a long while since I've awk'd. But I need to take a CSV file and convert the first word of the fifth field to its own field by replacing a space with a comma.
This is for importing a spreadsheet of issues into JIRA...
Example:
a line in the input file:
Code:
Field 1,Field 2 is here,Field 3 is a bit more verbose,Field 4,Fifth field,Field 6
I'd like to get out (the comma between 'Fifth' and 'field'):
Code:
Field 1,Field 2 is here,Field 3 is a bit more verbose,Field 4,Fifth,field,Field 6
In essence, I need to find the 4th comma then print everything up to the end of the word that follows the 4th comma, insert a comma, and then print the rest of the line.
Thanks...
Moderator's Comments:
What was described as "a line" was two lines in both samples. I hope I did the right thing by joining both of those sets of lines and adding CODE tags.

Reason: Add CODE tags.
I have a csv file which has three columns
mem no. name surname

I want to change the mem no. to add TF to the mem no. field i.e.
mem no. name surname
1234TF John Smith
12345TF John Doe

AnyData::Format::CSV(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation AnyData::Format::CSV(3pm)NAME
AnyData::Format::CSV - tiedhash & DBI/SQL access to CSV data
SYNOPSIS
use AnyData;
my $table = adTable( 'CSV', $filename,'r',$flags );
while (my $row = each %$table) {
print $row->{name},"
" if $row->{country} =~ /us|mx|ca/;
}
# ... other tied hash operations
OR
use DBI
my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:AnyData:');
$dbh->func('table1','CSV', $filename,$flags,'ad_catalog');
my $hits = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( qq{
SELECT name FROM table1 WHERE country = 'us'
});
# ... other DBI/SQL operations
DESCRIPTION
This is a plug-in format parser for the AnyData and DBD::AnyData modules. It will read column names from the first row of the file, or
accept names passed by the user. In addition to column names, the user may set other options as follows:
col_names : a comma separated list of column names
eol : the end of record mark,
by default
quote_char : the character used to quote fields " by default
escape_char : the character used to escape the quote char, " by default
If you are using this with DBD::AnyData, put ad_ in front of the flags, e.g. ad_eol.
Please refer to the documentation for AnyData.pm and DBD::AnyData.pm for further details.
