date from to iteration

[Anonymous]

Here is something I want to share.

It is a example of a date range iteration.

tmp:

load * inline

[from,to,name

'10/08/2010','10/09/2010','Jack'

'01/01/2010','01/03/2010','John'

'01/20/2010','02/03/2010','Mike'

'02/25/2010','03/11/2010','Nic'

];

range:

LOAD

    from,

    to,

    from+iterno()-1 as date_day,

    name ,

    iterno() as iter

resident tmp

while iterno() <= num(to)-num(from)+1;

date_day	from	name	to	iter
1/1/2010	01/01/2010	John	01/03/2010	1
