Here's the offending line: ####### $TXT .= swrite("@<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< @>>>>>>>>> @>>>>>",$rec, $stats{virus}->{$rec}, $percent)."%\n" if $text; #######
The @<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< part is telling format to print up to 21 characters of $rec and truncate the rest, left justifying it. If you want to make the printout of $rec longer, add more of these: '<' to that field. -----Original Message----- From: Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 6:05 PM To: beginners@perl.org Subject: Help with line length in script I use a script that generates stats for clamav. It generates both txt and html output. The problem is that the line length in the txt and html output differ. For instance in the txt output it shows this: (the numbers differ because the files were generated at different times) Email.ScamS.Gen005.Sa 6 9.09% While in the html file its shows this: Email.ScamS.Gen005.Sanesecurity.06041100 7 9.46% I 'think' this is where this comes from, but knowing very, very little about perl I may be wrong. ### VIRUS COUNTS $TXT .= keys ( %{$stats{virus}} ) . " Virus Types Detected\n" if $text; $TXT .= "------------------------------------------\n" if $text; if ($html) { print "<table border=0><tr><Th COLSPAN=4 bgcolor=\#666699><font color=\#FFFFFF size=4>" . keys ( %{$stats{virus}} ) . " Virus Types Detected</font></th><TH align=center>"; } foreach my $rec ( sort {$stats{virus}{$b}<=>$stats{virus}{$a}} keys %{$stats{virus}} ) { my $percent = sprintf ("%.2f", (($stats{virus}->{$rec} / $stats{count}) * 100)); 1 while $stats{virus}->{$rec} =~ s/(.*\d)(\d\d\d)/$1,$2/; $TXT .= swrite("@<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< @>>>>>>>>> @>>>>>",$rec, $stats{virus}->{$rec}, $percent)."%\n" if $text; if ($html) { print "<tr><td align=left bgcolor=\#9999FF>"; print "$rec</td>"; print "<td align=right bgcolor=\#DCDCEE>"; print $stats{virus}->{$rec} . "</td><td></td><td ALIGN=RIGHT bgcolor=\#CCCCFF>$percent". "%"; print "</td></tr>\n"; } } print "</TABLE></td>" if $html; If the whole script is needed let me know and I'll upload it somewhere.
