tuples reading issue

[Raj4perl]

Hi,

Can you help me with this

File contains first 500 lines. each has a header around 3 pages then you may find footer with some column names like "Total,..."

Image contains actual data. I need to split the file with respect to pages & account num (can get the account from each page 10 line)

I have written a udf which reads tuples of the whole file and gets the output as bag {(accnt num), (page no), (page content)}

My problem when i load its reading each line as one tuple.


Thanks,
Raj

Care to post your function, maybe a sample of the file you are trying to parse? Opening and reading a file into memory as a list of lines or a long string is pretty simple.

lineList = open(filename).readlines()
lines = open(filename).read()
