How to redirect the output to a table in HTML/XML

vasuperl has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I have 10 testcases. I need to redirect the name of the testcase and also the output i.e.,(PASS/FAIL) of those test cases to a table format in either HTML or XML using the perl script. I am a beginner of perl. Any help or idea would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How is this question different from when you asked three weeks ago? What code have you written in the meantime? Please see How do I post a question effectively? and show some effort, since this is (usually) not a code writing service. Anyway, several recommendations for modules to handle XML are given e.g. here or here, however, I have to strongly recommend against using XML::Simple (reasons are given in that second link).	[reply]

Hi vasuperl, What have you tried so for ? Please give us more informations like, how you are executing your test cases and the sample output formats? Lets say, if you have your output in a text file you can use awk/sed command to fomat the output into HTML table format. For example, `Testcase status testcase1 pass testcase2 fail testcase3 pass` [download] `awk 'BEGIN {print "<table>"} {print "<tr>"; for(i = 1; i <= NF; i++ +) print "<td>" $i "</td>"; print "</tr>"} END {print "</table>"}' output.txt > final_output.html` [download] *All is well*	[reply] [d/l] [select]
