thanks in advance help... have panel of information in following format:

acmh       admit xxx                   acsu       admit xxx sub-acute  (tcu)  adopt      adoption                       ama        against medical advice         apsy       admit cmh psychiatric unit  cancel     cancelled service              canceler   cancelled er                   canceltri  cancelled triage               exp        expired

i need format panel this:

'acmh','admit xxx'                   'acsu','admit xxx sub-acute  (tcu)'  'adopt','adoption'                       'ama','against medical advice'         'apsy','admit cmh psychiatric unit'  'cancel','cancelled service'              'canceler','cancelled er'                   'canceltri','cancelled triage'               'exp','expired'

my colleague recommended regex replacement. appropriate strategy? if can provide me guidelines on how achieve this.


regex experience limited (close non-existant) explanations appreciated.


this information being inserted sql server database. have program read .csv file single quotes , pretty insert table.

i.e....

insert  mytable  ( codevalue, description) values ('acmh', 'admit xxx')

we have never been given panel wondering if possible achieve.

you can replace

^(\s+)\s+(.*?)\s*$

with

'$1','$2'

demo

explanation:

  • ^ matches beginning of line
  • (\s+) matches non-empty sequence of non-space characters. parentheses around puts in capture group 1
  • \s+ matches spaces after first field
  • (.*?) non-greedy match of sequence of characters, , parentheses put match in capture group 2
  • \s* matches spaces @ ends of lines. did won't included in preceding capture group, remove trailing whitespace in input data.
  • $ matches end of line

in replacement $1 , $2 repaced contents of capture groups.
