Hey there,

I’m trying to figure out how to work with the sample data below such
that I can take each time there is a C in the third column and update
the previous D to a P.

An ideas?

IM,0000001,D,0,@FRIEDEXT01;IMAGES\00\00;0000001.TIF;2
IM,0000002, ,0,@FRIEDEXT01;IMAGES\00\00;0000002.TIF;2
IM,0000003,D,0,@FRIEDEXT01;IMAGES\00\00;0000003.TIF;2
IM,0000004, ,0,@FRIEDEXT01;IMAGES\00\00;0000004.TIF;2
IM,0000005,C,0,@FRIEDEXT01;IMAGES\00\00;0000005.TIF;2
IM,0000006,D,0,@FRIEDEXT01;IMAGES\00\00;0000006.TIF;2

This should end up like this:

IM,0000001,D,0,@FRIEDEXT01;IMAGES\00\00;0000001.TIF;2
IM,0000002, ,0,@FRIEDEXT01;IMAGES\00\00;0000002.TIF;2
IM,0000003,P,0,@FRIEDEXT01;IMAGES\00\00;0000003.TIF;2
IM,0000004, ,0,@FRIEDEXT01;IMAGES\00\00;0000004.TIF;2
IM,0000005,C,0,@FRIEDEXT01;IMAGES\00\00;0000005.TIF;2
IM,0000006,D,0,@FRIEDEXT01;IMAGES\00\00;0000006.TIF;2

Thank you,

Geoff

I’ve always got ideas. :wink:

Good.

Still getting an error though.

I bet we can fix that.

Here is the code I used and the error I got:

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘faster_csv’

parsed = FCSV.parse(‘C:/ruby/work/FRIEDEXT01.LFP’, ‘r’)

Let’s try changing the above line to:

parsed = FCSV.read(‘C:/ruby/work/FRIEDEXT01.LFP’)

changed = parsed.inject(Array.new) do |rows, row|
if row[2] == “C” and (d_row = rows.reverse.find { |r| r[2] == “D” })
d_row[2] = “P”
end
rows << row
end
puts changed.map { |r| r.to_csv }

Hope that helps.

Excellent, thanks!

Now if only I understood all this better. :slight_smile:

James,

It helps a lot! Still getting an error though. Here is the code I used
