Hi All,
I am a perl novice and am having some trouble with formatting a web
file to put into a hash. I have the following code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use LWP::Simple;
#use strict;
sub sws {
my $file = shift;
while (!eof(FH)) {
$line = <FH>;
push @temp, $line;
}
foreach $line(@temp) {
$line =~ s/^\s*(.*?)\s*$/$1/;
#print "$line\n";
}
}
my $url = 'http://domain.com/path/to/file';
my $content = get $url;
die "Couldn't get $url" unless defined $content;
open (FH, ">localfile") || die "Cannot open the first file...
$!\n";
print FH $content;
close (FH);
my $file = "localfile";
open (FH, "<$file") || die "Cannot open the second file... $!
\n";
sws(*$file);
close(FH);
exit 0;
I do want to use a sub so I can use it for other web files. The above
code does write the content of the file to the localfile but the sub
does not write the stripping of whitespace. I use the print "$line
\n"; to test and it does print the file content into the proper format
of stripped whitespace to STDOUT. I'd like to use strict as well but
I have a undeclaired problem as well. The last step will be for me to
put the localfile content into a hash split on a blank space.
As you can see I am far from proficient in perl. Any suggestions to
get me on the correct track would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Herb
