I’d like to find a way to import the NPA data for telephone company number allocations and export all numbers segments allocated to Onvoy and export them to a spreadsheet.

My long term plan is to /dev/null all calls from these segments in my telephone switch.

It's been over 40 years since I achieved my VisiCalc certification. Even before my first computer!

I'd suggest that most people who use #spreadsheets don't really understand them

Relational databases are clearly a step up in terms of data structure format

But #SQL is the price of admission, and that is a steep hill to climb

That fact that SQL is billed as having "simple English-like syntax" offends my sensibilities both as a linguist and as a programmer, but that's a different conversation

I'm only just noticing how often I need to use regular expressions when it comes to dealing with spreadsheet data and CSVs when I have to strip out specific columns and stuff and I wonder how non-developers usually deal with preprocessing tabular data like this in general.

Does every spreadsheet pro actually have to learn regex or is there some other industry standard alternative I'm not aware of? (for supplementing common spreadsheet programs)

Introduction Part 2: Books I love include the #Vorkosigan series, the #RiversOfLondon series, the #KittyNorville series, #RobinMcKinley, #DianaWynneJones, and #TerryPratchett. I tend to learn about new authors from #BookTwitter & hope to have the same here. I mainly work with #spreadsheets & sometimes prefer them to people 😀 I have one husband, one child, and one #cat, and will probably vent about them here every so often.
