NetSDS...Import(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

NetSDS::Util::FileImport — bestie, this one imports a table structure straight out of a file. that's the whole job. it's giving "I read files so you don't have to" 💅

it lives in the NetSDS...Import(3pm) page, aka the User Contributed Perl Documentation zone, so you know it's real.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use NetSDS::Util::FileImport

yes that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. no cap. 🪄

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this module is here to pull table structure out of a file. that's the vibe. now let's get into the actual API because that's where the good stuff lives 🫶

🎀 CLASS API 🎀

import_table() — import table data from file 👑

this is the main character function, fr fr.

it takes two things:

• $content — the content of a file. literally the file's insides. 🍓
• $pre_parse — true or false. what does that mean? it means: return all table or only 5 first rows. so true = just a lil taste test (5 rows), false = the whole entire table. pick your fighter. ✨

the params it could be (this is the raw shape, keep it exact):

• patterns => { qr#name#i => { qr#last#i => 'last_name', qr#first#i => 'first_name' } }
• separator — could be ,;\t:
• fields => [ email last_name ]
• substitute => { E-mail => email, Last Name => last_name, .. }

depends of a params parse would be different 👀 — so like, the way it parses genuinely shifts depending on which params you hand it. not me being mysterious, that's just the actual behavior.

returns a structure like this:

[ { last_name => undef, first_name => yana, ... }, { last_name => kornienko, first_name => test, ... } .. ]

look at that. an arrayref of hashrefs, one per row, undef and all. iconic. 🌈

💀 heads up bestie: the synopsis line has no trailing semicolon and the params/return values above are written exactly as the page gives them — don't go "fixing" them, that's not your business, that's the documentation's business.
