6 html_table_to_db - convert HTML tables into fsdb
7
9 html_table_to_db <source.html >dest.fsdb
10
12 Converts a HTML table to Fsdb format.
13
14 The input is an HTML table (not fsdb). Column names are taken from
15 "TH" elements, or defined as "column0" through "columnN" if no such
16 elements appear.
17
18 The output is two-space-separated fsdb. (Someday more general field
19 separators should be supported.) Fsdb fields are normalized version of
20 the html file: multiple spaces are compressed to one.
21
22 This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
23
24 -d Enable debugging output.
25
26 -i or --input InputSource
27 Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or "-" for standard
28 input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue
29 objects.
30
31 -o or --output OutputDestination
32 Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or "-" for
33 standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or
34 Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
35
36 --autorun or --noautorun
37 By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter
38 objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method. The
39 "--(no)autorun" option controls that behavior within Perl.
40
41 --help
42 Show help.
43
44 --man
45 Show full manual.
