source/ vs. manual/

As discussed in Conversion process phase: retrieve, a conversion cockpit's source/ directory holds an unmodified copy of the data that you received from the source (e.g. rpi-edu-lebot, whitehouse-gov). If you used pcurl.sh, then you also captured the provenance justifying the file on disk by citing the authoritative URL from which it came. You SHOULD NOT modify any of the files you get from your source. If you need to, make a modified copy in manual/.

A simple example of this is to convert a tab or pipe delimited file into csv:

bash-3.2$ cat source/some.tsv | sed -e 's/^/"/' -e 's/|/","/g' -e 's/$/"/' > manual/some.tsv.csv

How do I csv-ify?

bash-3-2$ cd ~/Desktop/source/rpi-edu-lebot/exercise-jogging-statistics/version/2011-Jan-24
