I'm just trying to get the program to find a table and return something if it does. Even though there are tons of tables on the page, it's still returning nothing when it's run? Any tips on where I might have screwed up my code?
my $html_file = get("http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/injuries/pup"); die "Couldn't Get HTML File!" unless defined $html_file; #print $html_file; for($depth = 0; $depth < 100; $depth++) { for($count = 0; $count < 100; $count++) { my $te = HTML::TableExtract->new( depth => $depth, coun +t => $count ) or die(print "Unable To Extract Table"); $te->parse($html_file) or die(print "Unable to parse st +ring"); foreach $ts ($te->tables) { print "Table found at "; foreach $row ($ts->rows) { print @$row; } } #print "Depth = " . $depth . " Count = " . $count . "\n"; } } #print "Injured Players Have Been Deleted From Database \n \n";
I love it when a program comes together - jdhannibal
