I am trying to print lines from an HTML page that have a certain
date(today). The following works:
lynx -dump http://www.tbri.com/News/pgPubCal.asp | grep "Sep 11"
I have tried this in two perl scripts, and nothing is returned. The date is
being parsed correctly, I believe, I was wondering if there is an extra char
somewhere in the date string that I am missing. The main parts of the code
are below:
<example 1>
$d = `date "+%b %d"`;
print "$d"; #just to test - it looks like it works
@lines = `lynx -dump http://www.tbri.com/News/pgPubCal.asp`;
foreach (@lines) {
print if (/$d/i);
}
</example 1>
<example 2>
@lines = `lynx -dump http://www.tbri.com/News/pgPubCal.asp`;
foreach (@lines) {
print if (/Sep 11/i);
}
</example 2>
thanks for any assistance...
