Next meeting Tuesday, February 11, 2014

TOPIC: *Parsing the weirdest fixed-record-length format you've ever seen* !

DATE: February 11

TIME: 7:00 - 10:00 PM

ROOM: E51-37*2 (**NOTE we're back in the squarish room 372 for
winter/spring.)*

SPEAKER: Uri G "The PerlHunter"


"at my new job i have created a parser for a very clunky fixed record size
format. it took longer than anticipated for various reasons. i have a
parser module, some db tables to help in real world stuff, a bunch of one
off scripts that did useful stuff. could be interesting to see how such a
project is done.

well, it was interesting to me as i was paid for it! a chance to code
review my stuff and show some nice slicing (perl slicing) and dicing of
data."
