Hi, I am a beginner in writing Perl-cgi scripts, and hope you can help me with the following problem. I have been writing a script that uses the Unix "grep" function to search for a word posted to the script from a web form, and return the search results to a web page.
The script works well, but I am not satisfied with the layout of the returned website. When typing the grep command in a Unix terminal I get the results nicely lined up under eachother, i.e. one file per line, like this : Testfile1 Testfile2 .... However, when printing to the web page, the resulting files are printed next to eachother, only separated by a blank space, like this: Testfile1 Testfile2 ... The essence of the code is as follows : > $testvalue=$value[0]; > $word = `grep -inlsh $testvalue *`; > print "The string $testvalue was found in these files : <p>$word</p>"; Thus, what I need is a procedure that splitsthe parameter word, which stores the result as a vector of filenames, into separate values. I image I must use some kind of for-loop to do this, but exactly how I do not know... Any help would be greatly appreciated!
