This may be a stupid question, but I need to ask.
Is there a way that PERL can read a javascript data file?
I have a script that reads a 2-D data from an external file with the .js extension.
Is there a way to read the data and use it in a PERL script?
Could I treat it as a simple text file and split the information as needed?
Any other concepts I should consider?
Example 2-D data file:
[code]
// Externship Site Description
var Sites = [
[“Key”,”Externship Site”,””,”Location”,”O.Dz.<br>Site”,”Number of Students<br> Per Rotation”],
[“1″,”Aker-Kasten Eye Center”,””,”Boca Raton, FL”,”Y”,”3″],
[“2″,”Advanced Eye Clinic”,””,”Cheyenne, WY”,”Y”,”1″],
[“3″,”Aran Eye Associates”,””,”North Miami Beach, FL”,”Y”,”5″],
[“4″,”Atlantic Avenue Eye Care”,””,”Delray Beach, FL”,”N”,”1″],
[“5″,”Bascom Palmer Eye Institute”,””,”Miami, FL”,”Y”,”3 <br>(6 month rotation)”],
[“6″,”Braverman Eye Center”,””,”Hallandale, FL”,”Y”,”5″],
[“7″,”Brevard Eye Center”,”(Dr. David Hendrix)”,”Melbourne, FL”,”Y”,”1″],
[“8″,”Brevard Vision Care”,”(Dr. Kenneth Boyle)”,”Melbourne, FL”,”N”,”1″],
[“9″,”Center for Sight”,””,”Sarasota, FL”,”Y”,”3″],
[“10″,”Clayton Eye Center”,””,”Morrow, GA”,”Y”,”2″]

Example 1-D data file:
[code]
// Class of 2013
var Students = [
“Last Name,First Name,N#,Email,GPA”,
“Boop,Betty,N0101,la51,2.5”,
“Oop,Ally,N0090,alsa,”,
“Fudd,Elmer,N0062,alsa,”,
“Bunny,Bugs,N0068,la52,”,
“Mouse,Mighty,N0108,aa10,”,
“Mouse,Mickey,N0072,ashk,”,
“Yosemite,Sam,N0105,fb27,”,
“Kid,Katzenjammer,N0027,brij,”,
“Duck,Donald,N0089,tb78,”
