6 tabdelim_to_db - convert tab-delimited data into fsdb
7
9 tabdelim_to_db <source.tabdelim >target.fsdb
10
12 Converts a tab-delimited data stream to Fsdb format.
13
14 The input is tab-delimited (not fsdb): the first row is taken to be the
15 names of the columns; tabs separate columns.
16
17 The output is a fsdb file with a proper header and a tab field-
18 separator.
19
20 This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
21
22 -d Enable debugging output.
23
24 -i or --input InputSource
25 Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or "-" for standard
26 input, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue
27 objects.
28
29 -o or --output OutputDestination
30 Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or "-" for
31 standard output, or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or
32 Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
33
34 --autorun or --noautorun
35 By default, programs process automatically, but Fsdb::Filter
36 objects in Perl do not run until you invoke the run() method. The
37 "--(no)autorun" option controls that behavior within Perl.
38
39 --help
40 Show help.

42 --man
