Re: problems importing csv files

[Friedrich Beckmann]

Hi Ben, 

in your case I would try to look at the file with vi or less. So I would do

> cd <whatever-path-it-is>

> perl -p -e 's/\r\n/,/' ver47-interessantes.csv > a.csv

Now look at the file with 

> vi a.csv

In order to quit vi type ESC :q! 

The grep command expects the case data to start with „Teilnehmer“ at the beginning of the line. You can

run 

> grep Teilnehmer a.csv 

to see if this is the case. grep prints out lines containing that text pattern.

Hi Friedrich,

It's not working.

I used this exact command: perl -p -e 's/\r\n/,/' /media/Acer/Users/Benjamin/ownCloud/A-UNI/BA-Arbeit.SoSe2014/Daten/ver47-interessantes.csv  > /home/ben/a.csv

If I open the resulting file a.csv in Calc, it has only one line.

Then instead I tried

cd /media/Acer/Users/Benjamin/ownCloud/A-UNI/BA-Arbeit.SoSe2014/Daten/ 

and

perl -p -e 's/\r\n/,/' ver47-interessantes.csv > a.csv

The second step

grep '^Teilnehmer' a.csv > b.csv

produces an empty file though.
