Convert csv to HTML table

This will do the trick:

echo "<table>" ;
print_header=true
while read INPUT ; do
  if $print_header;then
    echo "<tr><th>$INPUT" | sed -e 's/:[^,]*\(,\|$\)/<\/th><th>/g'
    print_header=false
  fi
  echo "<tr><td>${INPUT//,/</td><td>}</td></tr>" ;
done < Medical.csv ;
echo "</table>"

Explanation of the regex used is sed:

:[^,]*(,|$)

Regular expression visualization

This will match : 'participation.type', and :'participation'\n ($ means end of input/line in regex).
