Try this.  It has to be changed a little if you expect more than two
"strings" between the parenthesis, but it should get you started.  Of course,
there may well be a better way to go at this, but this works.

#!/perl/bin/perl.exe

open(TF, "test.txt") or die "Couldn't open test.txt";

while ($line = <TF>) {
  $num = 1;
  foreach (split " ", $line) {
   $par = "par" . $num;
   if (m/(\"[\d\w]+)/g) {
    $quoted = $1;
   } elsif (m/([\d\w]+\")/g) {
    $$par = $quoted . " " . $1;
    $num++;
   } else {
    $$par = $_;
    $num++;
   }
  }
  print "$par1, $par2, $par3, $par4, $par5\n";

close TF;

exit;

This prints:  xyz, abc, 12sd, "pqr stz", dfg

Hi everyone! ;)

I just need to know on how to create a double work 'post-method' using Perl
from a different server. I have an account in paid-hosting, and I also have
an account in free-hosting that support perl. My question is:

#--Question:

Say I have a guestbook.pl in my paid-hosting. What
script-lines that I should enter into the guestbook.pl
within my paid-hosting so that it could also send the
queries straight to the guestbook-infree.pl on the
free-webhosting?

#--End_Of_Question

So that it will automaticaly creating a backup inside a free-hosting,
whenever there is somebody giving queries into my guestbook forms from the
main page @ paid-hosting. Of course I have also prepared files-content that
are almost the same as the paid-hosting (the file that will be written @
free-host).

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone...

I am sorry to be a bother, but I have a couple of questions I would like to
here your word on...


1. I have to encryption modules that we use for generating a checksum to
make sure that what is sent in a form post is what gets received at the
other end..
We need to give away this script to lots of people, and the checksum modules
will be useless if everyone knows how it is done.. So I am wondering if its
possible to use compiled binaries for the modules and access them from a
standard perl script??  also, we need to do it for both the unix version of
the script and also the windows version...

or is there some other way to protect the source of the modules??? (they are
called directly by the script, not installed in the perl modules
directories..)

2. URL strings not working if there are spaces....  like so:
&SHIPMETHOD=Ground%20Shipping

This works ok in the unix version of the script, but the win32 one stops
dead at &SHIPMETHOD=Ground (ie it stops on the first space and all following
pairs are ignored...  so the script fails,

The only stuff that is changed between the two versions is the path to lib
statements, and stuff like that, the actual code is the same.

3. I am wondering if it is safe to use $ENV{'PATH_TRANSLATED'} to initially
set the value of my $PaTh variable for my NT/2000 version of my scipt..
(after stripping of the pl file at the end of the string that
$ENV{'PATH_TRANSLATED'} produces..

is it safe to do this? I was thinking of using it when the script is first
run, and then the script asks if the path is correct and if so writes it
permanently to file so that $ENV{'PATH_TRANSLATED'} need never be used
again...



Any help suggestions, critism, general comments, anything,,, would be most
appreciated...

Hi again all..

I have another small question,

if I have a variable,, say: $myVar="a:bigLongString"

and I want to test for the presense of a:big at the start of it.. (and it
must allow for either upper or lower case)

what would be the easiest way of doing that?
should I use split to take off the chars 0 though 4 and use an if/or
statement to compare it to a:big or A:BIG ?

what happens then if its mixed case?  how can I tell it to ignore case
altogether?

also, if I want to test for the presence of String and remove it if its
there, do I use the same method?

I am trying to find a relivent section in my perl books, but I have read 40
pages so far and haven't found anything relivent..

and there is probably two dozen people in this list who could answer off the
top of their head...

any response would be kindly appreciated..

regards

Frank

Hi all,

This list is unusually quiet tonight... but I'll ask anyway in case an
expert is on hand to offer advice..

I have this loop:

    foreach $tag ( sort ( keys %form ) )
	 {

		 $redirect .= "&" . $tag . "=" . $form{ $tag };
	 }

	 # Now re-direct the browser
    print "Location: $redirect\n\n";

  Basically, it is creating a post url with all the keypairs in it..

I need to add a line or two to it, to check the values, and if they contain
any spaces.. to swap the spaces to something like
%20  so that the spaces don't cause everything after the first one to be
ignored and not added to the url...

Think I am alittle over my head here, I am still new to this....


any help would be most appreciated.

Kindest regards

     I think someone asked about serial ports a few months

     You should consider using the CGI module. It handles
all this for you. The use of $form{tag} above, indicates
the use of cgi-lib.pl or a home-rolled form input
routine. While this is good for learning, it sucks for
creating real web apps. I f the book you are using to
learn from is not using CGI.pm, get another book. I
borrow mine from the public library before I buy them.

Assuming the character '_' does not occur within a string such as "pqr stz",
why not substitute '_' for ' ' first, do the split, then switch back to ' '?

Hi all,,

Just wanted to say thankyou to all of you for helping out,, I have learned
heaps from this list over the last year...

regex and learning the availability and use of various modules are the two
biggies I have still to learn properly...
(how do you guys know what modules to use for what? I always get quick
answers from this list with regard to modules,, so I am wondering where you
get your info,, It can't be CPAN as the layout of that site is not conducive
to quick searches...



Thanks heaps, its all working together nicely now...

one question I still have though..

In a NT/2000 server enviroment, I hate the fact that you can't require files
in different directories without specifying the path explicly ...  ie
$paTh="c:/inetpub/scripts/";

in linux/unix which is what I usually right for, you can use stuff like
./../somefile.pl in a require statement and it works just great... NT
doesn't like it at all and prints lots of lovely error messages to tell you
so...


So, my last question is this,,

if I do something like this:

my $PaTh="$ENV{'PATH_TRANSLATED'}";

that path would translate to something like "c:/inetpub/scripts/testfile.pl"

now if I used regex to remove the testfile.pl (or whatever file is after the
last /)

is it safe to use that resulting path as the path to require the other libs?
(with the relivent modifications to point to parent or child directories off
it??

is the $ENV{'PATH_TRANSLATED'} something that could be compromised and cause
the script to be insecure??

will it work with use strict or taint mode??

I want to give the windows users of this script, the same ease of install
that the linux one enjoys,, rather then have them have to work out what the
server path is and add a path statement to that effect at all of the script
files...


has anyone ever done anything like that?


kindest regards and thanks again..

Hi I'm a newbie

Im using a classifieds scirpt on crawfordcountyclassifieds.com the original
scirpt is called 'dp market'
but the template file doesnt support ssi files. The banner rotation i am
using now is a simple javascipt.
can anyone help me. i want a perl perl script that will rotate ads to it
cant be ssi? the main reason i want sometthing like this is for stats.

thanks,

Hi Guys,

Ive been away for a while and was hoping htat everything would work by some
miracle when I got back but alas...it doesnt.

I have set up my pc with activestate perl, mysql, php and apache server.
All four work fine and perl and and apache work fine together as does php,
mysql and apache but I cant get perl and mysql to work together.  I can
access mysql ok and my php,mysql prog (using phpadmin) accesses the mysql db
that I want but not via perl.  Having said that..it doesnt throw and error
in cnnecting to the db ( I think) so perhaps its not what I think.

I get this error:
<snip>
Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value at... (refering to the
'prepare' statement)
</snip>
when I run this bit of code:
<snip>
$db = &dbconnect;
$db_query = "SELECT rewardName,rewardCity,rewardRefers FROM tblReward WHERE
rewardRefers >=1 ORDER BY rewardRefers DESC";
  $dbh=$db->prepare($db_query);
$varReturnResult = $dbh->execute();
</snip>
using this connect string:
<snip>
####CONNECT
sub dbconnect {
  $db = DBI->connect($config{'connectstring'}, $config{'dbusername'},
$config{'dbpassword'});
         return $db;
</snip>

This same bit of code works fine on my www hosted site but not locally.  I
thought it may have been the connect string but Ive fiddled with that to no
avail.  Im stumped!!!

Any and all ideas would be appreciated

Thanks

I've read about controlling serial port using perl, but i really have
to use parallel port, so unless that module can be used in parallel
port, i will need to ask for more help.

     I use http://search.cpan.org/ but you need to
look under the headings too. The search engine has
some bugs in it.

     Another great source is the comp.lang.perl.misc
USENET group. I search their archives first at
http://groups.google.com/. Don't ask questions there.
They are really unforgiving of newbies.

     I also spend some time at perlmonks
(http://www.perlmonks.org/). They have an experience
points system which has me hooked and encourages
participation and community. Try SuperSearch to search
there.

:

     I did a pretty exhaustive search and couldn't find
anything about parallel ports under windows/dos. Looks
like you'll have to create the module yourself. The
inline modules http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Inline
and XS allow you to use c with perl.

Hi Guys..its me again,

Well what do you know... it was a problem my end all along (go figure).
Seems for some reason that I have to have the password variable empty in my
script to access the db on my local set up.  Not sure why?  Obviously I have
done something wrong when I set it up.  But at least now I can access and
develop it offline.  Hmm...how can I change my password to what it should be
will be my next little challenge.

Thanks anyway

Databasing newbie here... I've been trying to learn how to do data driven
sites without much luck, but I came up with a simple DB design idea that may
make the learning go better.

Can anyone tell me how to set up a simple, yet non-flat-file, database for
storing email addresses?

I was planning to use MySQL with Perl or PHP.  The table might be as simple
as a few columns for first/last names and email addresses.  If I can simply
get it so people can upload their email addresses to the DB from off of the
web (a far cry from scanning a db and manipulating data relationally), then
I think I should knock a big hole in my ignorance.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,

Will K.

Personally, MySQL is the way to go if you are creating a database.  You will
need to get MySQL (www.mysql.com) and from CPAN you will want to get the
DBI-1.18 and Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2216 modules.  This will allow you to
connect to the MySQL database from Perl.  Also good MySQL clients are
MySQL-Front (www.download.com) for windows or MysqlTool (www.icewalk.com)
for linux.  The clients make is really easy to create a database and tables.

Hope that helps,

Using Inline in Perl
====================
The new Inline module for Perl allows you to write code in other
languages (like C, Python, Tcl, or Java), as well as toss it into
Perl scripts. Unlike previous ways of interfacing C code with Perl,
Inline is very easy to use, and very much in keeping with the Perl
philosophy. One extremely useful application of Inline is to write
quick wrapper code around a C-language library to use it from Perl.

Hi Gang,

  I have perl activestate installed on a windows box and an apache server. I
  also have mysql and php set up on the same box. It all works fine and my
  development turn around has improved heaps.

    Is there any way I can set up sendmail so I can simulate the sending of
  emails from my scripts.  Parts of the scripts send emails to confirm that
  things have been successful and I cant know that the script is working if I
  cant send emails to myself.  So it is almost crucial that I be able to do
  that.

  Please be gentle with me and take me by the hand to guide me as this is
  unfamiliar ground for me.

  TIA

  Adrian Fischer

On Windows I use the free utility 'blat' to send email  (www.blat.com). It is easy to set up and works like a charm.

 

HTH.

Is there a program like ctags for perl, which allows you to jump
from file to file following subroutine definitions.

I was trying to get Darren Hiebert's ctags program going for
Unix, but reading the manual more carefully, it seems it's only
for C, Java, etc.

The two links in the vim help pages are dead or inaccessible. They
are/were:

Hi there,

Right now - im designing (mainly for my own use) a website full of
Perl examples (fully-working examples - Not just part-codes like
other sites i see)

http://homepages.slingshot.co.nz/~gordon52/index.htm

Anyone have any good examples ?

First of, - im working on 'files' & 'text'

Eg - Renaming, Opening, Appending to files etc..

:- Searching text, Swapping text around, Sorting Arrays etc..

I'll add to it over time.

Windows does not have sendmail, so you must use some other
command line utility to send email.

You can purchase SendMail for windows... It's now called "IndigoMail".
Haven't tried it though...
