Creating Data table from tabular report using Groovy

I've been lumbered with the job of converting a list report into tabular data, and for various reasons the only programmatic tool I 开发者_C百科have is groovy (i.e. no shell commands, no C, no perl). The data comes pre-summarised, in five columns,

Grouping (e.g. company), Sub-grouping (e.g. Quarter), sub total, sub-group total, grand total (with the summary data tacked onto the first row of each group) :

Big Co.\t2009 Q4\t29\t88\t308
\t2010 Q1\t38\t\t          
\t2010 Q4\t21\t\t          
Gargantua Inc.\t2009 Q4\t33\t139       
\t2010 Q1\t31\t\t          
\t2010 Q2\t36\t\t          
\t2010 Q3\t39\t\t          
Mediocre Ltd.\t2009 Q4\t39\t81     
\t2010 Q4\t42\t\t          

And the output needs to be something like:

<table>
    <tr><th>Group</th><th>2009 Q4</th><th>2010 Q1</th><th>2010 Q2</th><th>2010 Q3</th><th>2010 Q4</th><th>Subtotal</th></tr>
    <tr><th>Big Co</th><td>29</td><td>38</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>38</td><th>308</th></tr>      
    <tr><th>Gargantua Inc</th><td>29</td><td>31</td><td>36</td><td>39</td><td>&nbsp;</td><th>139</th></tr>
    <tr><th>Gargantua Inc</th><td>39</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>42</td><th>81</th></tr>
    <tr><th>&nbsp;</th><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><th>308</th></tr>
</table>

I'd like to be able run some loops over the data; stick things into an associative array of associative arrays, building a complete key list as I go; then loop again to produce the output. I've taken a look at groovy, and the Map syntax has my completely thrown.

Can anyone point me to some clearer examples of groovy Map iterations, so that I can at least get a toe in the water with this?

Any help gratefully received.

(In case anyone thinks this is just a fishing trip, I've kludged together a PHP version that does the trick - essentially I need to be able to translate this into groovy... )

<?php
$rows           = explode("\n", $data);
$group          = "";
$subgroup       = "";
$table          = array();
$totals         = array();
$subgroup_names = array();
$group_names    = array();
foreach($rows as $key => $row) { 
  $rowData = explode("\t", $row);
  if($rowData[0]) {
    $group = $rowData[0];
    $group_names[$rowData[0]] = true;  
  }
  if($rowData[1]) {
    $subgroup = $rowData[1];
    $subgroup_names[$rowData[1]] = true;
  }
  $table[$group][$subgroup]['jobcount'] = $rowData[2];
  if($rowData[3]) $totals[$group]['jobcount'] = $rowData[3];
  if($rowData[4]) $totals['grandtotal'] = $rowData[4];
}
$group_names    = array_keys($group_names);
asort($group_names);
$subgroup_names = array_keys($subgroup_names);
asort($subgroup_names);  

$result = array();
$result['header'] = "<th>&nbsp;</th>"; 
foreach ($subgroup_names as $subgroup) {
  $result['header'] .= "<th>$subgroup</th>"; 
}
$result['header'] .= "<th>Subtotals</th>"; 

foreach ($group_names as $group) {
  $result[$group] = "<th>$group</th>";
  foreach ($subgroup_names as $subgroup) {
    $value = isset($table[$group][$subgroup]['jobcount'])?
      $table[$group][$subgroup]['jobcount']:
      '&nbsp;';
    $result[$group] .= "<td>".$value."</td>"; 
  }
  $result[$group] .= "<th>".$totals[$group]['jobcount']."</th>";
}

$result['footer'] = "";
foreach ($subgroup_names as $subgroup) {
  $result['footer'] .= "<th>&nbsp;</th>"; 
}
$result['footer'] .= "<th>Total</th>"; 
$result['footer'] .= "<th>".$totals['grandtotal']."</th>"; 

echo "<table><tr>".join($result, "</tr>\n<tr>")."</tr></table>";

?>

Ok, got this together... It's maybe not the prettiest -- but then neither is the input format ;-)
