browertime

Introduction

The perl script in this repository converts fixed width files from Brower timers into CSV files appropriate for upload into google docs spreadsheets.

Preconditions

The script has been developed on [[https://www.debian.org/][debian]], but should be able to run on any command line with the following programs in the PATH:
• GNU make
• perl

GNU make from GnuWin32 and Strawberry Perl should be enough to run this script on Windows systems.

Doing conversion

The steps for doing a conversion, are:

Copy the .txt file exported from the Brower clock into the

directory containing the script

Open a command line window on the directory containing the script

(and the .txt file), and give the command:

make
Create a new spreadsheet on Google docs
In the spreadsheet, choose File->Import
In "Import File":
Click on "Choose..." and browse to the .csv file
Select "Replace spreadsheet"
Click on the "Import" button
