HTML to CSV Converter

This project provides a command-line tool to convert HTML tables to CSV files. The script reads an HTML file containing tables and extracts relevant data, which is then saved to a CSV file. This script is specifically tailored to extract pertient information from material list reports generated by Eagle Metal software.

Features

Parses HTML files and extracts table data.
Aggregates and cleans the data.
Converts lineal footage measurements from feet and inches to inches for aggregation, then back to feet and inches.
Outputs the cleaned and aggregated data to a CSV file.

Requirements

Python 3.x
beautifulsoup4 library
pandas library

<head>
    <title>Sample HTML</title>
</head>
<body>
    <table>
        <tr>
            <th>SKU</th>
            <th>Name</th>
            <th>Quantity</th>

        <tr>
            <td>12345</td>
            <td>Wood Plank</td>
            <td>10</td>
