Bash script to create csv files for every global contained in a %GOGEN exported file from Cache

Hello

I made for fun a bash script that creates csv files from a %GOGEN exported file.
%GOGEN, the utility for exporting globals for Cache 5.xx

First I thought it would be very simply with bash, but ...
- if I want a header in the csv file
- if you export with GOGEN more globals together not only one
- if I want a csv file for every global/indexes has the global ..

The simply bash script goes up 100 lines of code. If I will start again with this, I would use Python or Go, not bash.

Example:

For a EXPORTED.GLO file

The script generates 3 csv files. One for regs with 3 index, other for regs with 4 index and another one for 5 index:

  • global ALD with 3 index
    global-EXPORTED_3.csv

Hi @Julio Francisco ! Nice one!

Do you want to share the code on Github and Open Exchange?

Also, have you tried to craft an export for others tools of exporting globals from InterSystems IRIS?

Thank you

No, thanks, but I'm quitting form github/lab.

I only tried this because at that moment I only need this.

Regards

The script is no longer at the link provided, can you update?
