Re^4: using the web scraping proxy

Did wsp.pl work without the ">" redirection? yes

Not sure what you mean by "use firefox as the proxy". Can you elaborat
+e? 
Do you mean that you set up firefox to use the computer running wsp.pl
+ as the proxy?

yes used firefox, and added the proxy with the -p flag The "bad filename" problem is probably a file permission issue or something similar. Are you in a directory where you can create files? Try "ls > filetosaveto" to verify that. still says bad filename

If "ls > filetosaveto" is giving an error, then you need to try creating your file in a directory where you have permissions. Try this: `wsp.pl > /tmp/web_scraping_proxy_output` [download] Forget the -p, -v flags for now. One problem at a time. andyford or non-Perl: Andy Ford	[reply] [d/l]

Maybe I should have mentioned I am using win98se typing the above, even though it still says bad command file name saves all the information from site to the specified file but it isn't in perl code, I read somewhere another program translate.pl is required that has to be run on the saved file to get it to perl code.
