SYNOPSIS 

  parseCircOverrides.pl  [ report-file ]

DESCRIPTION

This program takes the output of the INNOPAC ``L > LIST circulation overrides'' report and generates a tab-delimited file suitable for uploading into a spreadsheet application. Since key data elements are in their own fields, it is possible to sort on them to get a picture of who is doing what overrides at what locations.

PARAMETERS

[ report-file ]
The output of the ``L > LIST circulation overrides'' program must be saved to a file somehow so that this program can read it. Some ways to get this report to a file are listed at http://www.innopacusers.org/faqs/print/print-to-file.html

The filename can either be specified on the command line or come into this program on STDIN.

The tab-delimited file is written to standard out.

EXAMPLE 

  parseCircOverrides.pl report-from-innopac.txt > tab-delimited-file.txt
