Spooling data from the database in .csv file with boundary
Hi Guys,

Another questions to the genius over here. I have spool the dataf from the database into a .csv file. But can it be possible to have all the rows and column with the boundaries..for example the .csv file which i have is as below:

Code:
20140327 BU 9A 3 
20140327 SPACE 9A 3 
20140327 BU 9F 33 
20140327 SPACE 9F 33 
20140327 BU 9L 17 
20140327 SPACE 9L 18

The allignment is not good in the above and that's why i am thinking to put these values into the boundaries. Can it be possible guys...



Thanks in Advance
Pramod

Without seeing the output you want, it's difficult to tell, but you could try changing spaces into tabs:

Code:
# Quick example
$ tr ' ' '\t' <<EOF
> 20140327 BU 9A 3
> 20140327 SPACE 9A 3
> 20140327 BU 9F 33
> 20140327 SPACE 9F 33
> 20140327 BU 9L 17
> 20140327 SPACE 9L 18
> EOF
20140327        BU      9A      3
20140327        SPACE   9A      3
20140327        BU      9F      33
20140327        SPACE   9F      33
20140327        BU      9L      17
20140327        SPACE   9L      18

# How you'd probably use it
$ tr ' ' '\t' < inputfile > outputfile

Hi,

I would be probably putting the boundaries exactly similar to the microsoft excel as i need to send the content of the file instead the file.

Thanks

A CSV file is supposed to be a Comma Separated Values file.

So I would suggest to set colsep to comma before spooling:
Code:
set colsep ,

How does one send the "content of" a file without sending a file?

Please show the output you want, we're not having any luck just guessing.

Hi Yoda,

I have already tried with the colsep, but the thing is, since the data is small, so i just wanted to be pooled out from the database and send these data in a tabular format in the message body.

Please suggest me if anything can be done on this.

Thanks in Advance...
