    <p>Decided to try and learn Perl, and currently need to process a number of CSV files. </p> <p>To get started doing more advance text manipulation I first need a base code that:</p> <ul> <li>Imports a local CSV</li> <li>Does a basic text manipulation</li> <li>Save the resulting changed values</li> </ul> <p>The import/process/export should support 1000+ rows and 20+ columns. Going to supplies a sample CSV file, but feel free to supply one in your answer.</p> <p>SAMPLE CSV FILE:</p> <pre><code>"EmployeeName","OfficeHistory","JobLevelHistory" "John Smith",501,"Engineer" "John Smith",601,"Senior Engineer" "John Smith",701,"Manager" "Alex Button",601,"Senior Assistant" "Alex Button",454,"Manager" </code></pre> <p>If you have any questions, let me know — this will be a HUGE help in me getting started. My main focus is the text manipulation, but the manipulations are meaningless unless I've got a way to input data and export it back to a file. <strong>Also, if you have any suggestion for quickly creating and debugging text manipulations that would be a huge help too.</strong> (NOTE: Currently use an application to do this, but need more control, and decided to give Perl a try.)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
