I have what shlould be a simple script that I am writing for our intranet at work. I am Posting information, it processes it, then it is supposed to show the output on the screen. Instead I am getting a dialog box asking to save the file. I am unable to use CGI due to the fact that it is not loaded on the server, and I do not have enough room in my personal directory for a local copy with all the other stuff I have in there. Here is the part in question:
print "Content-type:test/html\n\n"; print "<HTML>\n"; print "<BODY>\n"; while (<INPUTFILE>) { if (/^(.*?)$tool_number(.*)$/{ ($continue) =1; } if (/^(.*?)$end_tool(.*)$/ { ($continue) = 0; } if ($continue ==1){ print "some stuff\n"; } }
I would include the rest of the code.....but I'm not a very good programmer, and It would get hacked to heck. Plus it is related to my work....gotta love those "created at work" clauses.

In reply to CGI Trying to save file to computer rather then display it in browser by stuffy
