I have to parse ASCII files, output the relevant data to a comma-delimited file and load it into a database table.
The specs for the file format have been recently updated and one section is causing problems. This is the original layout for that section.
I parse it with `grep` thusly
It works great but now that the section has new fields and they are named differently
Right now, I am grepping the files based on their layout (there is a field in the the header which tells me the version of the layout) to two different comma-delimited files and load them into two different tables. I would like to output both sections to the same file so the data scientist only has one table to use in his analysis.
Is there a way to use grep to produce an output like this and substitute empty fields with NA?
For one file type:
For the other file type:
