CSV to XML

Iam pretty new to UNIX and would like to convert a CSV to an XML file using AWK scripts. Can anybody suggest a solution? My CSV file looks something like this :

Serial No Growth% Annual % Commission % Unemployed %
1 35% 29% 59% 42%
2 61% 37% 34% 86%
3 68% 47% 62% 18%
4 78% 83% 91% 78%
5 53% 44% 67% 56%

You mean like this?

"35%","29%","59%","42%"
"61%","37%","34%","86%"
"68%","47%","62%","18%"
"78%","83%","91%","78%"
"53%","44%","67%","56%"

Otherwise it would not be CSV file.

AWK Script!

Hi photon,
Can you help me with that problem I had - converting my CSV file to XML using AWK Scripts? I need it really urgently and I need your help. Since Iam new to Unix, it is making it harder to deduce and try to understand quickly. Please help.

Thanks.

given data file - pj.txt
Code:
SerialNo Growth% Annual% Commissio% Unemployed%
1 35% 29% 59% 42%
2 61% 37% 34% 86%
3 68% 47% 62% 18%
4 78% 83% 91% 78%
5 53% 44% 67% 56%

and script - pj.awk
Code:
BEGIN {OFS = "\n"}
NR == 1 {for (i = 1; i <=NF; i++)
            tag[i]=$i
         print "<" node "XML>"}
NR != 1 {print "   <" node ">"
         for (i = 1; i <= NF; i++)
            print "      <" tag[i] ">" $i "</" tag[i] ">"
         print "   </" node ">"}
END {print "</" node "XML>"}

nawk -v node=whatever -f pj.awk pj.txt

produces:
Code:
<whateverXML>
   <whatever>
      <SerialNo>1</SerialNo>
      <Growth%>35%</Growth%>
      <Annual%>29%</Annual%>
      <Commissio%>59%</Commissio%>
      <Unemployed%>42%</Unemployed%>
   </whatever>
   <whatever>
      <SerialNo>2</SerialNo>
      <Growth%>61%</Growth%>
      <Annual%>37%</Annual%>
      <Commissio%>34%</Commissio%>
      <Unemployed%>86%</Unemployed%>
   </whatever>
   <whatever>
      <SerialNo>3</SerialNo>
      <Growth%>68%</Growth%>
      <Annual%>47%</Annual%>
      <Commissio%>62%</Commissio%>
      <Unemployed%>18%</Unemployed%>
   </whatever>
   <whatever>
      <SerialNo>4</SerialNo>
      <Growth%>78%</Growth%>
      <Annual%>83%</Annual%>
      <Commissio%>91%</Commissio%>
      <Unemployed%>78%</Unemployed%>
   </whatever>
   <whatever>
      <SerialNo>5</SerialNo>
      <Growth%>53%</Growth%>
      <Annual%>44%</Annual%>
      <Commissio%>67%</Commissio%>
      <Unemployed%>56%</Unemployed%>
   </whatever>
</whateverXML>

AWK Script!

vgersh99,

and enter user name and password. after that how do I execute this script?
Do let me know as Iam entirely new to this project. I would be very greatly indebted to you for your timely help.

Thanks,
pjanakir

CSV File!

Hi vgersh99,
Also the file that Iam sending should only be a CSV file, and not a text file. You said pj.txt, it should be pj.csv. Just to let you know about it.

Thanks,
pjanakir
