Simple Text/Log parser to CSV

I was needing a little script to ingext a log/text file and parse it by lines to form rows. Not every line equated to a row, but there was a line I could look for to indicate that a new row had started. I then pulled data from different lines to put into the output of the csv file.

See input.txt for an example file.

Adjust the parse.js script as needed to work with the data you are trying to parse.

To run, assuming you have already installed Node.JS and npm:

  • Clone this repository to a local file
  • Open command prompt in the cloned directory
  • Install the one dependency by running: npm install
  • Run the script by running: npm start

Hope this helps you, and myself in the future.
