a. edit $HOME/.netrc to add username/password

Code:
ftp server <<EOF
put x.html /some/directory/x.html
EOF

Can i do the appending of lines to file name " webfile " so as to ease the ftp portion by shell ? I try to perform the below but it's showing some error . Can you help ?


#!/usr/bin/perl

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

That is because you are trying to write shell code in a Perl script.

Assuming you put your Perl in "myperl.pl" then do the following from shell...

Code:
./myperl.pl >webpage.html

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::FTP;
open(OUT,">>fileout.html");
$XX="XX";
$XXval="20";
$var = <<"EOF";
<html>
<head>
    <title>My webpage</title>
    <head>
    <body>
    a href="some-url"> $XXval </a> $XX <br>
EOF
print OUT $var;
close(OUT);

$ftp = Net::FTP-> new
(
 "ftp.server.com",
 Timeout=>30
 
) or die "Cannot connect: $!"
$username="me";
$pass="password";
$ftp->login($username,$pass) or die "Could not log on: $!";
$ftp->cwd('/path');
$ftp->put("fileout.html");
$ftp->quit;

just an example. you do the rest. If you want to use Perl, learn it first.

Hi GhostDog,

Thanks for your code.
I roughly know how your perl code works now.
But just one more question.

My shell script created a file named " shelloutput "

where " shelloutput " is the below:
XX 20 $50
YY 30 $60
ZZ 40 $70

How can i pass each term in this file as a variable to the perl code?
In your earlier code, you have assumed 20 as the term for your $XXval variable but in actual fact we do not know until we actually look at the shelloutput file ourself. What we know is that the ouput will be in the form of a 3 x 3 matrix where each term is seperated by spaces and the $XXval will always be the 2nd field if "XX" is the first field

you just have to open the file and read the contents. An example reference. pls get a Perl book and start learning.

Hi GhostDog,

Thanks for the example. I think i have got it!

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::FTP;
$[ = 1;                 # set array base to 1
open( FILE, "< filename" ) or die "Can't open $filename : $!";

    while( <FILE> ) {
    chomp;      # strip record separator
    @Fld = split(' ', $_, 9999);
    if ($Fld[1] eq 'XX') {
    $TESTER = $Fld[1];
    $ID = $Fld[2];
    $QTY = $Fld[3];
    }
    close FILE;
}

open(OUT,">>fileout.html");
$var = <<"EOF";
<html>
<head>
    <title>My webpage</title>
    <head>
    <body>
    <a href="some-url"> $TESTER </a> $ID  $QTY <br>
</head>
</html>

EOF
print OUT $var;
close(OUT);

However, when i introduce the path reference " $filename = "/scripts/myperl/filename" ", there's some error , can you give some guidance on that ?


Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::FTP;
$[ = 1;                 # set array base to 1
$filename = "/scripts/myperl/filename"
open( FILE, "< $filename" ) or die "Can't open $filename : $!";

    while( <FILE> ) {
    chomp;      # strip record separator
    @Fld = split(' ', $_, 9999);
    if ($Fld[1] eq 'XX') {
    $TESTER = $Fld[1];
    $ID = $Fld[2];
    $QTY = $Fld[3];
    }
    close FILE;
}

open(OUT,">>fileout.html");
$var = <<"EOF";
<html>
<head>
    <title>My webpage</title>
    <head>
    <body>
    <a href="some-url"> $TESTER </a> $ID  $QTY <br>
</head>
</html>

EOF
print OUT $var;
close(OUT);
