php Convert text file to csv output
This class provides a quick and easy way to convert a fixed-width CSV file. It can be used to perform iteration using a SplFileObject, making it very efficient as an iterator only knows about the current member. Options are provided to specify the end of line character and field delimiter. This from CSV files. This class is particularly useful if data needs to come from a fixed-width file and be inserted into a database, since most databases support data input from CSV files.

A handy feature of this class is the ability to skip fields if they are not needed in the output. The field array is provided, providing a key/value pair, with the primary value holding the offset, or starting field's position, and the value containing the width, or length of the field. For example. 12="10 is a field that starts at 12 bits and the width or length of the field is 10 characters.

The bottom line character defaults to "n", but can be set to any character.

The

delimiter defaults to a comma, but can be set to any character, or to the character

. The output from the file can be used directly, written to a file, inserted into a database or for any other purpose. >

Example Usage

try

{
/*** the fixed width file to convert ***/
$file = new fixed2CSV ( 'my_file.txt' );

/*** The start position=>width of each field ***/

$file -> fields = array( 0 => 10 , 10 => 15 , 25 => 20 , 45 => 25 );

/*** output the converted lines ***/

foreach( $file as $line )
{
echo $line ;
}

/ *** a new instance ***/

$new = new fixed2CSV ( 'my_file.txt' );

/*** get only first and third fields ***/

$new -> fields = array( 0 => 10 , 25 => 20 );

/*** output only the first and third fields ***/

foreach( $new as $line )
{
echo $line ;
}

}

catch( Exception $e )
{
echo $e -> getMessage ();
}
