Hi all, I tried to specify the default value for a file field in a form, and I see that in Internet Explorer it doesn't appear.

HTML page seperator or page breaks?
Hi, I need to be able to create a web page that has page breaks in it. I need users to be able to print out multiple copies of invoices and address labels. I will have a CGI form that asks the user how many invoices and how many address labels they need. Then I need to output some html, which can just be printed from the browser with each address label and invoice on a seperate page. I think there might be a way to do this with tables. However I cannot find any documentation about it. Is there anything you might suggest trying?

CGI page to provide image links (true beginner)
I wanted a web page that was super easy to maintain (lazy person that I am). I basically wanted to drop new images in the 'images' folder and have them accessible, sorted with newest images at the top of the table. What I came up with works but I had various questions about how to improve the coding and how to improve on the web page appearance (I've worked with css files before but not with CGI). Also I cut and paste some of the code from perlmonks and if anyone could give me a step by step description of what it actually does - that would be cool. Here goes: * When I say print start_html($title), that includes the body tag correct? How do I add the background image. Below I did it by adding another line but I guess my real question is - What is the syntax when adding parameter values when using the shortcut notation? This may also answer the 'What's the syntax for adding a css link?' question. * I see many different 'styles' of CGI coding, is the one displayed below outdated, sufficient or recommended? I've seen many sites with CGI examples and everyone seems to do it different. Obviously, I don't use the shortcut notation (correct term?) entirely, as the table coding proved tricky for me. * See the 'map' code below. Can you explain it step by step? I know what it does (sort an array by date) but not really how it does it. * I'm using lstat ~and~ stat, is there a way to get the file information in one step? #!/usr/bin/perl -w use CGI qw(:standard); my $title = My Image Webpage; my $subtitle = Pictures; my $dir = ../images/; my $cols = 6; #HTML-- print header, start_html($title), h1($title); print body background = ../grey_dots.gif; print br; print _HEADER_; table border=1 cellpadding=2 tr thClick on the file name:/th thDate added:/th th colspan=4br//th /tr _HEADER_ #Open directory--- opendir(DIR,$dir) or die error:cannot open $dir: $!; my @files = readdir(DIR); closedir(DIR); #Sort files-- @files = map $_-[0], reverse sort { $a-[1] = $b-[1] } map { /^\./ ?

Re: removing white space revisited
David, cgi-lib.pl and CGI.pm do the same things, for all intents and purposes. I've not bothered to use CGI.pm, in part because of its overly cumbersome style and kludges. But that's my preference. There are very few 'shoulds' in perl and far fewer 'musts.' CGI.pm over cgi-lib.pl is neither of those. :o So, for giggles, here's the problem solved in CGI.pm #!/usr/bin/perl use CGI; $q = new CGI; $q-header; %params = $q-Vars; foreach $key (keys(%params)) { $params{$key} = s/^\s+//; $params{$key} =~ s/\s+$//; } # # whatever else # And, equally for giggles, here's the same thing in cgi-lib.pl: #!/usr/bin/perl require 'cgi-lib.pl'; ReadParse; print PrintHeader; foreach $key (keys(%in)) { $in{$key} = s/^\s+//; $in{$key} =~ s/\s+$//; } # # whatever else # One involves less typing.

Re: DB_File and auto sorting DB's
From: zentara [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm starting to look at perl db's, and I ran across something, but I'm not sure what it's about. I have questions. In the below code, if I comment out use DB_File; I get an unsorted printout, and only 2 files are created, dbmdatabase.dir and dbmdatabase.pag. Everything seems fine. If I leave use DB_File in, I get back a sorted printout, and 3 files are produced, the above mentioned 2, and plain dbmdatabase. So, is it acceptable to use db without use DB_File; or if I do use it, can I always count on the automatic sorting? The docs seem to say that hashes will come back unsorted without a sort routine. # #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use DB_File; my (%Z,$i,$j); dbmopen(%Z,dbmdatabase,0644) || die cannot open DBM dbmdatabase: $!; The dbmopen/dbmclose functions are kind of obsolete. It's generaly better to use the tie() interface. Anyway in your case the use DB_File statement replaced the builtin DBM implementation by Berkeley DB implemented (OK, interfaced) via the DB_File module. I'm not sure what exactly are the properties of the builtin DBM code, but I bet Berkeley will be better. But you will want to use tie %hash, 'DB_File', $filename, $flags, $mode, $DB_HASH ; instead of dbmopen() since that will allow you more control over the options.

RE: Size of Array
The terminology you are looking for is multidimensional array. I.e you have an array wherin each element is an array (actually a reference to an anonymous array IIRC), not a scalar. You can find the size of the array by asking for it in a scalar context, not a list context. For example my @array = qw(one two three four); my $arraysize = @array; print Array is $arraysize elements in length; for a multidiemensional array my @array = ([one, two, three], [four, five, six, seven]); my $arraysize = @{$array[0]}; # Here you are dereferencing the array referenced by $array[0] into an anonymous array which is the enclosing @{}, then taking the scalar value of it which gives you the number of elements in the second level of the array print First sub array size is $arraysize elements\n; my $arraysize = @{$array[1]}; print Second sub array size is $arraysize elements\n; HTH John -Original Message- From: Agustin Rivera [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 February 2002 17:18 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Size of Array Thank-you to everyone who answered my last question.

DBM Problems.
Hello all. I have incorporated a DBM file into one of my programs. The problem I am having is that I cannot store as a key in a DBM file. (if so, it's not working here!) Anyways, here is a sample output from diff on 2 sets of program output. The first is where DBM is used, and the second is where an in-memory hash is used. The second field of each line is the frequency of the occurance of the first field. The fourth field is the cumulative frequency. Everything adds up, but the DBM version is missing the 76 which had a key of . Is there any way to get around this besides recoding the value? The only differences in the programs is the use of DBM. I have also included a diff output on the 2 perl scripts at the very bottom. TIA. --Jess Diff output on 2 outputs of the program: 1,12c1,13 0|257707|51.5414|257707|51.54| 1|133131|26.6262|390838|78.17| 10|3|0.0006|390841|78.17| 11|1|0.0002|390842|78.17| 2|64050|12.8100|454892|90.98| 3|29061|5.8122|483953|96.79| 4|11163|2.2326|495116|99.02| 5|3559|0.7118|498675|99.74| 6|961|0.1922|499636|99.93| 7|218|0.0436|499854|99.97| 8|62|0.0124|499916|99.98| 9|8|0.0016|499924|99.98| --- |76|0.0152|76|0.02| 0|257707|51.5414|257783|51.56| 1|133131|26.6262|390914|78.18| 10|3|0.0006|390917|78.18| 11|1|0.0002|390918|78.18| 2|64050|12.8100|454968|90.99| 3|29061|5.8122|484029|96.81| 4|11163|2.2326|495192|99.04| 5|3559|0.7118|498751|99.75| 6|961|0.1922|499712|99.94| 7|218|0.0436|499930|99.99| 8|62|0.0124|42|100.00| 9|8|0.0016|50|100.00| Diff from 2 perl scripts: This illustrates the only difference is the use of the DBM file.

This routine opens 15 different school files, for this example, I have shorten it to 1 school. It creates a data file call STNAME.DAT. This file contains, last name, first name, student #, and school #. I then open STNAME, look for duplicates using ( first 5 char's of last name+1 char of first name). Look in arrary does it exist. if yes, add a counter to name. I then store this in a result file, called result.dat.

RE: ignore spaces in files
That doesn't work. You need a ($) to indicate the end. THe circumflex means the beginning of the line.

Perl Regular Expressions
Hi all, I've been writing in Perl for quite some time now, however regular expressions have eluded me. I'm not completely sure why, but they have. Now that I need them I figure I better get some assistance soon. I'm trying to extract the linked text out of an html string. I thought that matching text between and /a would be the best way to do this. I came up with the following line of code: $line2 = string to be parsed. ($linkname) = ($line2 =~ m/[:alpha:]*\/a[]/gi); #extract the linked text. However when I do this, the value of $linkname is always /a. I think this means it does see a linkname in the string, but doesn't collect what I want. I've tried several variations on the above, changing [:alpha:] to \w adding in \s* changing the case of those character definitions. Thinking my resource could be wrong. I've also tried several things which return errors. I'm also trying to figure out how to collect both the URL and the link name in one line of code. From what I've read, it looks like it can be done. The initial goal is to create a list, including the link name, of every URL on my site. Thanks, Karl Kittler

Re: Passing an array from a 2-D array
On Sat, Feb 16, 2002 at 11:20:42AM -0500, Ian P. Thomas wrote: If I read this correctly, I takes the first array from unchecked_dfa_states and passes it out, but not before dereferencing it. I needed something that could take the first array as a whole object and pass it to checked_dfa_states, another array of arrays. After pouring through my Perl books, I think what I needed to do was to give each stored array in unchecked_dfa_states a scalar reference. This way I could pass the reference to the whole array. Does that sound right? It sounds like you have a fundamental misunderstanding about multi-dimensional arrays in Perl. A multi-dimensional array in Perl is just an array of array references; these references are scalar values, and can be passed around as single entities. So the code: @checked_dfa_states = @{ shift(@unchecked_dfa_states) }; Removes the first element from @unchecked_dfa_states, dereferences it, then assignes it to @checked_dfa_states. So, given: @checked_dfa_states = (); @unchecked_dfa_states = ( [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], ); After the code I showed runs you'd have: @checked_dfa_states = (1, 2, 3); @unchecked_dfa_states = ( [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], ); If, instead, you wanted, as I suspect from your question, the result: @checked_dfa_states = ( [1, 2, 3], ); @unchecked_dfa_states = ( [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], ); Then don't dereference the shift; in other words, use: @checked_dfa_states = shift(@unchecked_dfa_states); Does that answer your question? The alternative that I used was keeping two arrays. One just held information about the size of the arrays in unchecked_dfa_states. I called it unchecked_dfa_states_sizes. I did a for loop using a value from the unchecked_dfa_states_sizes array as the ceiling to put each element into a temporary array. I then pushed this temporary array onto checked_dfa_states. The reason I was able to do this is because I kept the two arrays, unchecked_dfa_states unchecked_dfa_states_sizes in sync. That meant that every subscript for unchecked_dfa_states_sizes matched a corresponding subscript for an array in unchecked_dfa_states. A reference to an array, and a separate reference to its size. Just to be clear, your two arrays would look something like this: @unchecked_dfa_states = ( [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6, 7], [8, 9], ); @unchecked_dfa_states_sizes = ( 3, 4, 2, ); where the size of $unchecked_dfa_states[$n] is in $unchecked_dfa_states_sizes[$n]. This is unnecessary in Perl. @{$unchecked_dfa_states[$n]} in scalar context would yield the size of $unchecked_dfa_states[$n]. Instead of iterating over elements, like you describe, it's a fairly simple matter to copy a dimension from @unchecked_dfa_states to @checked_dfa_states: $checked_dfa_states[$n] = [ @{$unchecked_dfa_states[$n]} ] This is much like the altered shift operation I showed you: @checked_dfa_states = shift(@unchecked_dfa_states);] Except that it's not destructive of either @checked_dfa_states or @unchecked_dfa_states. I believe you want: push( @unchecked_dfa_states, dfa_state_creation($unchecked_dfa_states[0], $symbol) ); I can't remember exactly, but I believe when I tried to do it this way, it passed an actual numeric value, the memory address to the array referenced by $unchecked_dfa_states[0]. As above, I stored the array referenced by $unchecked_dfa_states[0] into a temporary array and passed that in like this The first argument to dfa_state_creation() call would be a reference. In numeric context this is a very large number. However, this reference can be dereferenced and used as if you were dealing directly with $unchecked_dfa_states[0], because you actually are. This worked. Thanks for the help. I think I need to spend some more time with the animal books and reading this list. I ended up having some problems using global variables later in the program. Next time I'll cut and paste the code. :) Yes, reviewing the books is a very good idea. You should also read perldoc perlreftut and perldoc perlol. The first is a tutorial on references, the second documents how to use lists of lists, or multi-dimensional arrays. There's also perldoc perlref and perldoc perldsc, describing references and data structures, respectively. Also, keep in mind that when multi-dimensional arrays are talked about in Perl they're not quite the same thing as in other languages. Some languages are fixed in their dimensions: for instance, in C you can have a 3x2 array, or 3x3x3, etc. With Perl each of the elements of an array can be any length: a prime example is from above: @unchecked_dfa_states = ( [1, 2,

Possible outcomes
Hey all, I have some code (below) that will strip data from a HTML page and go ahead and display information that I need. The proble I am facing is that the data has 4 possible out comes derived from user input. Basically I would like to start on 2 possible out comes. If the user is to have the page return 2 headers named number and coverage I can display the results of both outcomes. I.e 1: The user can get DSL 2: The user can't get DSL. Now, if the user can't get DSL then the page will return only 2 headers (number and coverage) while if the user can get DSL the page will return 3 headers (number coverage and location). For some reason I can't get my code to display both results. I have tried if and or statements but that still won't work. $html_string = $tree-as_HTML; @headers = qw/number coverage/; # Tried this but doesn't work or @headers = qw/number coverage location/ ; $te = new HTML::TableExtract( headers = [@headers] ); $te-parse($html_string); # Examine all matching tables foreach $ts ($te-table_states) { #print Table (, join(',', $ts-coords), ):\n; foreach $row ($ts-rows) { $mRow = @$row; $mRow =~ s/.*\//g; #$mRow =~ s/[^.\d\s]//g; my @webValues = split/\s+/, $mRow; print join(' ', $mRow), \n; } } undef @headers; Does any one have any ideas?
