NAME

6       html_table_to_db - convert HTML tables into fsdb
7

SYNOPSIS

9           html_table_to_db <source.html >dest.fsdb
10

DESCRIPTION

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.
46
