Instructions
Create a new txt document - chart.txt and paste the following script in there. Save and then rename to chart.pl
----Script Starts Here ----
die "Require 1 argument only! $0 <inputfile> > <outputfile>\n" unless (scalar @ARGV == 1);
my $inputfile = $ARGV[0];
my @arr = ();
open F, "<$inputfile" or die "Cannot open file: $inputfile\n";
while (my $line = <F>)
{
chomp $line;
my @fields = split(/\t/, $line);
if ($line =~ /^\d/)
{
push @arr, "\"$fields[3]\"";
}
else
{
push @arr, ",\"$fields[0]\"";
}
}
close F;
open G, ">$inputfile" or die "Cannot write to file: $inputfile\n";
while (my $line = shift(@arr))
{
print G $line;
print G ",.\n" if ($line =~ /^\,/);
}
close G;
----Script Ends Here ----

Change the week to the week you want in your charts
Typically people do the last week of the month. I personally like doing the first week of the month, so its not empty for 3 out of the 4 weeks. Your choice
Highlight Rows 1-10, Copy and paste into a txt file, lets call it 07.txt
(07.txt means July. 01 for Jan etc)
Save the file in the same directory as your script
Open the cmd prompt and change directory to where your script and txt file is
run the chart.pl <txt file>
For example
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\neilt>cd ../..
C:\>cd E-Touch
C:\E-Touch>chart.pl 07.txt
C:\E-Touch>
And done!
Now move your 07.txt file to <e-touch directory>/history/<Chart>/<Year>
Example
D:\E-Touch\history\ARIA Chart\2011\07.txt
