tabdelim_to_db - Man Page

convert tab-delimited data into fsdb

Synopsis

    tabdelim_to_db <source.tabdelim >target.fsdb

Description

Converts a tab-delimited data stream to Fsdb format.

The input is tab-delimited (not fsdb): the first row is taken to be the names of the columns; tabs separate columns.

The output is a fsdb file with a proper header and a tab field-separator.

This module also supports the standard fsdb options:

-d

Enable debugging output.

-i or --input InputSource

Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or - for standard input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.

-o or --output OutputDestination

Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or - for standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.

--autorun or --noautorun

By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method. The --(no)autorun option controls that behavior within Perl.

--help
