html_table_to_db - convert HTML tables into fsdb
html_table_to_db <source.html >dest.fsdb
Converts a HTML table to Fsdb format.
The input is an HTML table (not fsdb). Column names are taken from TH elements, or defined as column0 through columnN if no such elements appear.
TH
column0
columnN
The output is two-space-separated fsdb. (Someday more general field separators should be supported.) Fsdb fields are normalized version of the html file: multiple spaces are compressed to one.
This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
Enable debugging output.
Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or - for standard input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
-
Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or - for standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
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.
