in thread to get file names and timestamps from sharepoint

Thanks!! Below code is working fine to move the files from sharepoint to local directory if know the file names.(@names). But now I have the new requirement to move the files to local directory without knowing the file names. These file names also needs to get from the html code. My idea is to put sharepoint content into html. Search for current date in html and take the file name before that date and put into a variable and then check that file date and name in existing table if it is newer file and date then move the file. I am asking you guys how to get the file names...
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use WWW::Mechanize; use LWP::UserAgent; use LWP::Authen::Ntlm; use Storable; use DBI; use Parm_file; use LWP::Debug qw(+); my $URL_Parm="https://sharepoint.com"; &Parm_file::InitEnv();#parameter file for credentials# $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(autocheck=>1,keep_alive=>1); $mech->agent_alias( 'Windows IE 6' ); $mech->credentials("sharepoint.com:443",'',$ENV{'UserId_Parm'}, $ENV{' +Password_Parm'}); $mech->get($URL_Parm); my $html = $mech->content; @names = qw(file1 file2 file3); # COUNTS EACH ELEMENT OF THE ARRAY $n = 0; while ($names[$n]) { print "\n"; print "Searching for $names[$n].xls;\n"; my $startPos = index($html,">$names[$n]<img"); if ($startPos > 0) { my $startPos1 = index($html,"<NOBR>",$startPos); my $endPos = index($html,"</NOBR>",$startPos1); my $filedateOn= substr($html,$startPos1+6,$endPos-$startPos1-6); my $sth; my $rows; #Connecting to the database with the credentials my $dbh= DBI->connect("DBI:ODBC:$ENV{'DSN_Parm_DB'}","$ENV{'UserId_Par +m_DB'}","$ENV{'Password_Parm_DB'}"); my $sqlStatement= "SELECT FILE_DATE FROM (SELECT MAX(FILE_DATE)FILE_DA +TE FROM Table WHERE FILE_NAME='$names[$n]')A WHERE A.FILE_DATE < '$fi +ledateOn' "; $sth = $dbh->prepare($sqlStatement); $sth->execute(); my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array; if ($sth->rows eq 0) { print "file $names[$n].xls exists\n"; print "so file is not going to move this time\n"; } else { print "Lets get move the file now.\n"; my $urlFile = "https://sharepoint.com/$names[$n].xls"; $mech->get($urlFile); $filename="$ENV{'FilePath'}$names[$n].xls"; $mech->save_content($filename); print "\n"; print "file $names[$n].xls was moved to $ENV{'FilePath_Parm'}\n"; my $sqlStatement= "INSERT INTO [Table] ([FILE_NAME],[FILE_DATE],[STATU +S],[MESSAGE])VALUES('$names[$n]','$filedateOn','SUCCESS','File transf +er has been completed') "; $sth = $dbh->prepare($sqlStatement); $sth->execute(); print "\n"; print "Record has been inserted in table with file name and date time\ +n"; } } $n++; }

    Why do you keep assuming we have sharepoint accounts, and have read and understood the sharepoint api? Most likely its SOAP not html, so just parse the XML (using SOAP::Lite should help you with both).
      Thanks Guys!! I am done with my script and working fine.
