[Omaha.pm] find binary junk in a database

["Jay Hannah" <jhannah@omnihotels.com>]

Here's a buggy, craptastic program I wrote in 10m to find binary junk
that somehow got shoved into our database:

(This is probably a superb example of poor coding. -grin-)

j


------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Omni::DB;

my $dbh = Omni::DB::connect_prod();
my $strsql = <<EOT;
select prop, gds_sys, seamless_bk_code,
   disp_line1, disp_line2, disp_line3
from smls_bk_codes2
EOT
my $sth = $dbh->prepare($strsql);
$sth->execute;
my ($prop, $gds_sys, $seamless_bk_code, @row);
while (($prop, $gds_sys, $seamless_bk_code, @row) = $sth->fetchrow) {
   foreach $column qw( disp_line1 disp_line2 disp_line3 ) {
      $data = join "|", @row;
      if ($data =~ /[^ -~]/) {
         my ($evil) = ($data =~ /([^ -~])/);
         my $notsoevil = ord($evil);
         $data =~ s/$evil/\*\*\*ASCII_$notsoevil\*\*\*/g;
         print "$prop $gds_sys $seamless_bk_code\n";
         print "   $data\n";
      }
   }
}
$sth->finish;
$dbh->disconnect;



Output (see those ASCII 150's in the data!? Those are bad. -grin-):
