Quick question related to KSH expressions (not unix regular expressions).
I am trying to craft a pattern that will correctly identify lines that match the following CSV text in a case statement:
Originally I simply used an expression like *,*,*,*,*,*,* in the following case statement:
Problem:
I found that the *,*,*,*,*,*,* CSV expression matches cases such as these:
I have tried numerous variations and have ended up with this expression:
I can match more precisely and this nails the smallest CSV list of "text, text" but I still have to incorporate some comma counting logic that I don't want to include.
The commas and/or asterisks are causing me complications with various expressions that I have tried (essentially * matches commas). Production code is very hard to change where I work once implemented so I'd like to nail down a very precise expression now and let the final *) expression trap all malformed lines. What am I doing wrong?
By the way, I have no control of the data file provided me so changes to my data source won't happen.
Lines such as this still get through due to the final "*":
Altering the expression helps narrow it down:
and I think this allows for anything but a comma in the final field:
I need to tweak the filenames a bit but I believe I have the basis for nailing down a very precise expression.
Gurus, Please need your help.
