Daniel,

I was able to utilize the suggestions from
the others. I will also take a look at XML::Simple.

looks to me like you are reinventing the wheel here ...

this is XML, right?

there are numerous XML parsers on CPAN. Try XML::Simple  

something like this should do it:

ue XML::Simple;

my $x = XMLin($string);

now all your info should be a complex data structure under the ref $x.

Try it, maybe use Data::Dumper to see what the data structure looks like, then
get your data out by navigating the structure.

( of course, you have to install XML::Simple first ... I assume it's on
ActiveState ...)

Hi,
I am trying to parse this string and not able to get the results that I
need.  Can someone please help.  Thanks in advance. -David

I am trying this:

$string = 'NameFNJohn/FN LNSmith/LN/Name,
NameFNSusan/FNLNMiers/LN/Name
JobTitlePresident/JobTitle'

$string =~ m/.*(Name.+?\/Name).*(JobTitle.+?\/JobTitle)/;

I only want the name in last Name tag and the Jobtitle  (i.e. Susan
Miers President)

Also, the FN and LN tag may or may not be there at times.

Your program must have access to the Access DB files themselves for
the ODBC connection to work, that is why your process works if the DB
is on the server itself.

You'll have to make the files available via some sort of file-sharing
- NFS or Windows file sharing.

I have a script with almost the exact same code and it works correctly.
Try removing the parens from your add statement and see if that makes a
difference.

Original Code:
$Worksheet = $Workbook-Worksheets()-Add();
$Worksheet-{Name} = test $i;

Becomes:
$Worksheet = $Workbook-Worksheets-Add;
$Worksheet-{Name} = test $i;

String formatting

2005-04-12 Thread Hsu, David
 
Hi all,

I am working with GD::Graph and I am retrieving some data from a DB and
formatting the data into a string that I can use for graphing.
my @data = ($data1);
My $myGraph = GD::Graph::lines-new(400,300);
...

The problem is that my formatted string of data is not in the correct
format and returns an error. I check the string printed to the screen
and it looks like this:

[-0.84,-0.83,-0.4,-0.39,-
0.39,1.16,2.38,4.49,7.08,10.07,13.14],
[1.09,0.47,-14.95,-47.63,-
5.75,30.19,21.07,37.63,57.18,84.63,118.59],
[0,0.06,-21.27,-59.79,-
11.11,22.26,12.67,15.25,10.79,6.58,4.52,4.05]
Invalid data set: 0 at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\trialmap\cgi-bin\eData.pl line
2106.

From my testing, the array needs the data to be either one line, or 3
lines separated by the brackets.
I am assuming they are return carriages, (but I am not sure why it is
there) so I try this RE to remove it, with no luck.
$data1 =~/(\r)//g;

Any insights?

The method You used to obtain data require great amount of time because
of using IDispatch interface in OLE. Even on local computer
cell-by-cell populating of excel worksheet is long and resource
expensive As pointed in error message, timeout is exceeded. The better
way is get all the data needed from server on local computer and then process
 it as You like. Try to use variant arrays (though I don't know is it

RE: Deleting a worksheet in Excel

2005-01-24 Thread Hsu, David
Fred,
Thanks, that works as well.  I used  one-liner.  
On another topic concerning Excel.  Do you ever get:

HTTP/1.1 502 Gateway Error Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0 Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2005 
19:03:35 GMT Content-Length: 186 Content-Type: text/html 
CGI Timeout
The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing. The 
server has deleted the process.

error when trying to retrieve large amounts of data and writing it to an Excel 
Workbook?  I query a DB and store the results in Excel.  I will have 7 
worksheets, each containing several thousand rows.  It's not the web server 
because I have allow it more that sufficient time to allow processing.
I usually use this to populate Excel:

For ($i=1;$i$counter;$i++)
{
$cell = $worksheet-Cells($row,$col);
$cell-{Value} = $data;
$col++;
.
.
} 
$row++;
.
.
.

It's a problem I'm working on, but thought that you might have encountered it.

David

Randy,
I added the proxy setting in the script, but still the same problem.  I
saved the xml link as a local file and ran the script through IE.
Parsed just fine.  Still can't figure out why it won't get the xml from
any site.

Perhaps you need to include some proxy settings in the

use strict;
use LWP::Simple qw(get $ua);

my $arg = http://www.infoworld.com/rss/news.xml;;

if ($ENV{HTTP_proxy_user} and $ENV{HTTP_proxy_pass}

   my $proxy =http://$ENV{HTTP_proxy_user}:$ENV{HTTP_proxy_pass}\@;
. $1;
   print setting user/pass into proxy_env...\n;
   $ua-proxy(['http'], $proxy);
}

if ($arg=~ /http:/i) {
 my $content = get($arg);
 die Could not retrieve $arg unless $content; ### line 38

RE: Displaying a status bar

I set buffering to off ($| = 0) just before saving Excel Workook, it seems
to do what I want it to do.  Even though I'm not setting the status bar to
100, it seems to disappear smoothly when the processing is done.  BTW, here

$n=0;
While ($i) # $i = 7

$n = $n + 4  # I had to play with this number to make it work,
finally 4 seems to increment well.
print scriptincrement($n)/script;

502 $Workbook-Close();
503 $Excel-Quit();
504 sleep(1);
505 print h2(Query Completed);
506 print $r-end_html;

Mark, thanks for your help and the status bar script.

Lee, thanks for you suggestion, I did use sleep just to delay a sec. for the
bar to disappear, before printing.

How are you incrementing the progress bar? Perhaps it's getting to 100%
before your setPercent(100) call, and automatically disappearing. Try
removing the setPercent(100) and see if the bar still disappears.

If that test shows that the bar remains on the page to the end, try putting
the setPercent(100) in the body onload event, i.e. body
onload=setPercent(100)

 Your problem may be output buffering. Put $|++; in your 
 program before sending any output and you can then print html 
 to the screen.
 
 That being said, I've created a javascript library that puts 
 a graphical status bar on the screen, and the percentage, 
 overlay text, and color can be set by a perl program as it 
 running, and at the end, it disappears so as not to interfere 
 with the output. It's useful for long-running programs. 
 Contact me off-list if you want it.

RE: Displaying a status bar

2003-07-08 Thread Hsu, David
Should've known there's always a correct way.  I was just adding the
increments without realizing the percentage bar numbers.  Took your advice
and used setPercent() and removed the sleep(), and left buffering on.  Works
great.

Thanks again,

 Mark,

 Workook, it seems to do what I want it to do.  Even Though 
 I'm not setting the status bar to 100, it seems to disappear 
 smoothly when the processing is done. 

Coincidence. It happens to go over 100 near the end of your loop, and thus
automatically disappears.

 BTW, here is how I am 
 looping to increment the status bar.
 
 $n=0;
 While ($i) # $i = 7
 {
   ...
   $n = $n + 4  # I had to play with this number to make 
 it work, finally 4 seems to increment well.
   print scriptincrement($n)/script;
 }

Iteration 1: increment(4), bar at 4%
Iteration 2: increment(8), bar at 12%
Iteration 3: increment(12), bar at 24%
Iteration 4: increment(16), bar at 40%
Iteration 5: increment(20), bar at 60%
Iteration 6: increment(24), bar at 84%
Iteration 7: increment(28), bar at 112% (disappears)

This is what you're doing. Is it really what you want? You'd probably be
better off using setPercent($p) where $p = 100/$maxsteps * $iteration

   ...
   $| = 0;
 501   $Workbook-SaveAs($path);
 502   $Workbook-Close();
 503   $Excel-Quit();
 504   sleep(1);
 505   print h2(Query Completed);
 506   print $r-end_html;
 
 Mark, thanks for your help and the status bar script.
 
 Lee, thanks for you suggestion, I did use sleep just to delay 
 a sec. for the bar to disappear, before printing.

This is unnecessary. If the half-second delay after passing 100% is too
long, you can send scripthidebar()/script to hide it immediately.

Thanks Mark for the status bar.
It seems to work well and definitely what I want, but the status bar is
disappearing too soon, even though I am controlling when to disappear.  I am
not sure why it is skipping the other code and processing the code where I
tell the status bar to disappear.  Here is the last part of my code after
all processing. I am querying all the data into Excel and saving it.

$| = 1;
...

...
501 $Workbook-SaveAs($path);
502 $Workbook-Close();
503 $Excel-Quit();
504 print scriptsetPercent(100)/script;
505 print h2(Query Completed);
506 print $r-end_html;

I can put line 504 at the end (line 507) and it would still process it
first.  The thing is that once the status bar disappears, I am still waiting
(~ 45sec) before line 505 is printed. I think it is still processing the
Excel workbook because the saved file has not appeared.

Any ideas?

RE: Displaying a status bar

2003-06-25 Thread Hsu, David
Mark,

Thanks for your suggestion.
I set the output buffer to Off, and it is displaying my html status bar and
it seems to be processing in the background.  But, I want to display my
results page after processing.  It seems that the status page does not go
away even after processing is done.  I have added the print out of data
after the processing steps in my code.  My data sets are sometimes large and
small.  During the smaller data sets, the processed data would be displayed
on the same page as the status bar.  The larger data sets, it seems it would
always stay on the status bar screen, without displaying any processed data.

Any thoughts on this.

Thanks,
David

 Hello,
 
 Can someone let me know of a method of displaying a status bar on
 screen(html) in Perl script while it is processing a task.  I 
 have tried to print html, but it won't display the image 
 until it has finished processing, and then it displays with 
 the rest of the information.

Your problem may be output buffering. Put $|++; in your program before
sending any output and you can then print html to the screen.

That being said, I've created a javascript library that puts a graphical
status bar on the screen, and the percentage, overlay text, and color can be
set by a perl program as it running, and at the end, it disappears so as not
to interfere with the output. It's useful for long-running programs. Contact
me off-list if you want it.

- Mark.
