Tiedhash & dbi/sql access to vertical files
use AnyData; my $table = adHash( 'Paragraph', $filename,'r',$flags ); while (my $row = each %$table) { print $row->{name},"\n" if $row->{country} =~ /us|mx|ca/; } # ... other tied hash operations OR use DBI my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:AnyData:'); $dbh->func('table1','Paragraph', $filename,$flags,'ad_catalog'); my $hits = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( qq{ SELECT name FROM table1 WHERE country = 'us' }); # ... other DBI/SQL operations
This is a plug-in format parser for the AnyData and DBD::AnyData modules.
It handles \*(L"vertical\*(R" files in which the record name occurs on a line by itself followed by records on lines by themselves, e.g.
Photoslop /My Photos/ .jpg, .gif, .psd
Nutscrape /htdocs/ .html, .htm
Please refer to the documentation for AnyData.pm and DBD::AnyData.pm for further details.
