Ok. Time to ask for help.
Remember me? The guy who wanted to write a program to
update goalie stats?
Well, I wrote a script that runs and essentially does
what I
want it to do, but has a couple problems. For now, Im
settling for a simple program where I input the stats
by hand and the program updates the stats and prints
the HTML for me to cut and paste to the site. This
will make it much easier for me than updating the HTML
by hand every time. since im at the most basic of
beginner levels, im sure its very simple and im just
overlooking something. if any of you could take a look
at this script and tell my why this doesnt work, id
appreciate it.
1 - when I make an update, it saves to a different
file and if you make more that one update, the
database starts making new entries rather than editing
the existing one.
2 - the HTML output is what it should look like. but i
cant figure out how to make it loop through and print
a line for each entry according to rank.
Thanks in advance.
Here is the script:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
