in reply to Re^5: Using filepath method to identify an .html page
in thread Using filepath method to identify an .html page

And i'am sure it will work great!

Here is the .htaccess directives responsible to pass the actual .html page's absolute path to counter.py (please do not get mad at me, i'am trying to code your solution into python code, which is easier to me) 
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?superhost\.gr$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^/?(.+\.html) /cgi-bin/counter.py?htmlpage=%{REQUEST_FILEN
+AME} [L,PT,QSA]

But my friend, why bother creating a custom function?

Wouldn't something like the following work as intended? 
pin = int( htmlpage.encode("hex"), 16 ) % 10000

    Oh... I won't get mad at you. If you want to code this in Python, I don't do snakes. You're on your own. Why in the world would you ask about Python code in a Perl forum?

      Perl is great, its just too tough for me. Python is more clear.
      I need your help

      1. to see in regards of "specification" if this was indeed possible.
      2. just wanted 1-line of Perl code to see it working, and then write the same 1-line in Python.

      Wouldn't something like the following work as intended WITHOUT custom function? 
      pin = int( htmlpage.encode("hex"), 16 ) % 10000

      Can you please explain the differences to what i have posted opposed to your coding: 
      foreach my $ltr(@ltrs){
        $hash = ( $hash + ord($ltr)) %10000;

        Sorry, what part of "I don't do snakes" isn't clear?

            I want to understand this.

        Not that hard given the split that proceeds the code you quoted. Iterate over each element of the array and find the ordinal of the character in that element. Add the integer value of that ordinal to the previous value and perform a modulo arithmetic operation on the sum and store the sum back into the original scalar.

        That's OK nik. But please ask Monty for further information. Yet another trap?

        I hope that helps. Regards, Karl
