Split table lines

This software analyses tables in CSV or TXT (separator TAB by default) and split the lines into text files. The files names are the lines names in the first column of the table. This software is able to extract the 1st line of tables. This is especially useful to compare tables headers with nwCompare - Julia.

To export columns use Split table columns

Manual :

1- if not already installed, install Perl free programming language

2- unzip the software

3- copy data csv or txt (TAB delimitated by default) files in the “data” directory

VERY IMPORTANT : since the file names are computed with the first column of the table, this line should avoid special characters such as: / \ , ; : etc... and of course each lines of the table must have different names.

4- execute the software by the command : perl software_name or double click on the .pl file

5- processed files are in the “results” directory.

Syntax: split_by_line-xxx.pl -s 'separator' (default separator : TAB) -l line_number( 0 = unlimited 1 = one line)

split_by_line-xxx.pl : split all the lines of the tables (TAB separator)

split_by_line-xxx.pl -s ";" -l 1 : split the 1st line of the tables (; separator)
