Hi, i'm still battling this one.
THE CGI bit
#! usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI;
print STDOUT $query->header();
print STDOUT $query->start_html( -title=> "results";
-BGCOLOR=>"#ccddff");
# Get the file from the html form
$file_contents = $query->param('file');
# read the file in line by line
while (defined ($line = <$file_contents>)) {
$info = $info.$line;
}
# prints the file contents but loses all tab-delimited formatting.
print STDOUT "$info<P>";
# slurp file into scalar variable
$data = do { local $/; <$info>; };
# the following does nothing
print STDOUT "$data";
Is there another way that i can read in the file but preserve the file format?? Also, why doesn't printing
$data work??
cheers
