Hi. I'm still very much a Perl beginner, but I'm reading "Mastering
Regular Expressions" by Friedl, so I expect to be able to at least help the
group out with regexs when I'm a few more chapters in. ;o)

I have written a script which is very useful for me day-to-day. It checks
table structure in HTML files. The script is working, but I would
appreciate any comments, especially as to how this can be better written.
Thank you,

Chris,
I'm still new to Perl, but here's some code that writes to an Access
database. Maybe it will be a starting point. You will need the
module 'DBD::ODBC', which you can find at search.cpan.org, or, if you have
ppm installed, run ppm and type "install DBD::ODBC".
You will also need to set u
I have Active Perl installed on Windows 2000, and to run the script, I only
need to type "script.pl". "perl script.pl" works also, but isn't
necessary. On a Windows NT machine I have found that, when using the 'at'
command to schedule a script, I can't use "perl script.pl" or it fails --

Textpad (www.textpad.com) is great. It's not free, but it does have syntax
highlighting and you can modify/create your own syntax rules. Multiple
documents open at once, great find/replace and "find in files" features.
If anyone knows of a free text editor with customizable syntax
highlighting,
I think "net time" will return UCT, or Universal Coordinated Time, which
used to be known as Greenwich Mean Time.
If you were to just type "time" at the DOS prompt or "date" at the *nix
prompt, the time should agree with LOCALTIME.

Here is something for a very similar case:
I am reading in lines from a file, and writing them into a database.
Before I do, I do these two lines:
$_ =~ s/\'/\''/g; #Replace any single quotes with a pair of single
quotes.
$_ =~ s/\"/\'/g; #Replace any double quotes with single q

In my case, both files had an equal number of lines. The both contained
comma-separated values to be imported into database tables. One table
needed two additional fields which were contained in the second table. I
had intended on opening both and appending the two fields I wanted.
In the end,

Is there a module for this? I have some comma-separated files I need to

If you were to type:

to see the info you want, then try this:

That will print the results to a text file, which you can read, print, etc.

Textpad, from www.textpad.com -- I use it for Perl, Javascript, ASP,
Net.Data, text, etc. It has tons of features, allows you to have multiple

No. If you want to get the fields in a certain order from an SQL query,
you MUST do:
select fieldname, fieldname, fieldname from table
As long as you're doing:
select * from table
You're always going to get the fields in the order in which they exist in
the table.

We have an AS/400 here at work, and we use IBM's Net.Data macro language
