Hi all
i am new to the list!
i am new to Linux and new to PERL too. I am
trying to get this perl script up and running. I
have installed OpenSuse-Linux 11.3
What is wanted: I have a bunch of HTML-files,
stored in a folder. with the Perl-Script (see
below) i want to parse the HTML-files.
I have stored the script to the following place:
Basisordner (german word for base folder) > user > perl >
My question is - how to name the paths ...
a. to the html-folder that contains the
HTML-files that need to be parsed (i named this
folder html.files)
The path to the top-level directory of the
directory tree containing the HTML files should
be placed as the argument to the in() method of
File::Find::Rule.
b. how to name the file that has to be created...
I can't help you here, as I do not know what file you want to create.
here the code
Your program will not compile, as you have
commented out the definition of $file.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use HTML::TokeParser;
# my $file = 'school.html';
my @html_files = File::Find::Rule->file->name( '*.html.files' )->in( $
+html_dir );
What is the plus sign doing here? Do you mean the
variable $htmo_dir. That will work if $html_dir
contains the path (absolute or relative) of the
top-level directory to search for HTML files.
Are the HTML files named as '*.html.files'? More
likely is '*.html', in which case that is what
should be the argument to the name() method.
Sometimes, HTML files end with just 'htm', in
which case ''*.html?' (making the 'l' optional)
might work for you.
You seen to be having a problem with the
File::Find::Rule module. I suggest you write a
shorter, simpler program that finds all of the
HTML files and prints their names. After you get
that working, you can add reading and parsing the
files. You will need to add 'use
File::Find::Rule;' to your program.
print qq/$school{'name'}n/;
You should have \n instead of just n: Parentheses
will avoid your qq argument looking like a
regular expression:
print qq($school{'name'}\n);
