💅 SQL::Translator::Parser::xSV(3) 💅

okay so this is the manual page for SQL::Translator::Parser::xSV, straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the internet. It’s giving “parser for arbitrarily delimited text files” and honestly? iconic. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

SQL::Translator::Parser::xSV — parser for arbitrarily delimited text files. No cap: the delimiter can be whatever you need, bestie. 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Load it up like this:

use SQL::Translator;
use SQL::Translator::Parser::xSV;

my $translator  =  SQL::Translator->new(
    parser      => 'xSV',
    parser_args => { field_separator => "\t" },
);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This bad boy parses arbitrarily delimited text files. For the arguments on how to parse the file — e.g., field_separator, record_separator — see the Text::RecordParser manpage. That’s where the parsing knobs live, iykyk. 🎀

Other arguments include:

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• scan_fields — indicates that the columns should be scanned to determine data types and field sizes. True by default. 🕵️‍♀️
• trim_fields — a shortcut to sending filters to Text::RecordParser; it will create callbacks that trim leading and trailing spaces from fields and headers. True by default. ✂️

Field names will automatically be normalized by SQL::Translator::Utils::normalize_name. Automatic field-name glow-up, periodt. ✨
