6Why bash? Python, able to read and write csv and json, would be a better choice for this task.mouviciel– mouviciel2014-06-19 06:58:16 +00:00Commented Jun 19, 2014 at 6:58

You could assume that the countries values end either when you see a new country (risky) or hit EOF (safe). Pre-sorting eliminates the risk if countries are always categorized in the correct region. The ambiguity is an issue with the provided data format.Paul– Paul2014-06-19 07:09:10 +00:00Commented Jun 19, 2014 at 7:09

3Python, nodeJS, Perl would all better support data transformation between csv and json because of library availability.Paul– Paul2014-06-19 07:10:45 +00:00Commented Jun 19, 2014 at 7:10

Thanks for everyone's comments. The reason why I used BASH is because I do not know any other languages. I just picked up BASH doing my job.. I guess I know what to "pick up" next. Python :) Special Thanks for @David Atchley for the script... You are champion !dexnow– dexnow2014-06-20 07:28:58 +00:00Commented Jun 20, 2014 at 7:28

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
