CSV to HTML

[Patrick Ware_1]

Hello,

I am looking for a program or script that will convert CSV files to HTML files. Does anyone know of such a script or program?

Hi Patrick:

Have a look at this Perl module to define a HTML table from comma-separated values.

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention that it needs to run on HP-UX.

Patrick,
James's Perl module should work on hpux.

I assume you want to convert csv to a html table, not just make it viewable via a browser, otherwise you could use the AddType command in the browser conf.

[Patrick Ware_1]

AddType? Are you referring to filters for the httpd.conf file? How would you specify that using the perl module? I have been reading the docs on apache.org regarding that.

[Peter Godron]

Patrick,
sorry to confuse the issue.

The Perl module will convert a csv file to a html table format.

My question was whether that was what you wanted to happen i.e. csv to html table.
If you wanted to just display the csv file as text, you would use the AddType in httpd.conf. We display txt files as text on the browser, but for csv we display as spreadsheet.

That's exactly what I want. I have a script already in place to convert a XML spreadsheet to CSV. Now I need to convert the CSV to HTML.
