Using Perl to add hyperlink to html files

Raynon · #1 (**permalink**) 10-29-2007

Hi ,

I have written a csh script which will output file named " myoutput.html " displayed below. I am tried to ftp this html file into a local web server so that it can be displayed to public sharing this server and i would want to add a hyperlink to " XX " , " YY " , " ZZ ". Can this be done using perl ? Can anybody show me an example of the code to perform this ?

XX 20 $50
YY 30 $60
ZZ 40 $70

It doesn't look like HTML to me.

I thought you would want to generate

Code:

<html>
    <head>
          <title>My webpage</title>
    <head>
    <body>
        <a href="some-url">XX</a> 20 $50<br>
        <a href="some-url">YY</a> 30 $60<br>
        <a href="some-url">ZZ</a> 40 $70<br> 
    </body>
</html>

Hi Porter,

Can i use perl to create your HTML code before i ftp ?
I would want to perform everything in my Solaris OS that is

1) generate the .html extension file using csh
2) create hyperlink in the html file ( using perl maybe or html ? )
3) ftp to the server

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "<html>\r\n";
print "\t<head>\r\n";
print "\t\t<title>My webpage</title>\r\n";
print "\t<head>\r\n";
print "\t<body>\r\n";
print "\t\t<a href=\"some-url\">XX</a> 20 \$50<br>\r\n";
print "\t\t<a href=\"some-url\">YY</a> 30 \$60<br>\r\n";
print "\t\t<a href=\"some-url\">ZZ</a> 40 \$70<br>\r\n";
print "\t</body>\r\n";
print "</html>\r\n";
