UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting Member Tremor

Where would I find a script that, like the hack, Member List, parses a series of files (in this case txt) and outputs the result in a neatly organized table.

The text files it would parse would be similar in structure to the member files of the UBB, but the scenario in which the file is being used is not one involving a forum or registered .

Well you could do something like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl/
print "Content-type: html/textnn";

$filespath = "c:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs/review/";

opendir(DIR, "$filespath") or die "Couldn't open directory";
@directory = readdir(DIR);
closedir(DIR);

@files = grep(/.txt/, @directory);

foreach $eachfile(@files) {
chomp($eachfile);

open(FILE,"$filespath/$eachfile");
@filedata = ;
close(FILE);
@file = split(/|/, $filedata[0]);

$file = "$file[0]|$file[5]|$file[2]|$eachfile|n";
push(@agianfiles,$file);
}

print <








topHTML

foreach $file(@agianfiles) {
chomp($file);
@eachdata = split(/|/, $file);

print qq~~;

}

print <

File Name:	Data 1:	Data 2:	Data 3:
$eachdata[3]	$eachdata[0]	$eachdata[1]	$eachdata[2]

That opens a directory, gets all the .txt files, then opens them individualy gets out some feilds and pushes them into an array. Now we run the array with all the data through a loop to print it out.

Don't you have to be in a for loop, foreach loop, or a subroutine before you can use?

Is this script supposed to work after I change the $filespath to the path to my files, because it doesn't. When I run the script a download windows pops up and when the download item is downloaded, the whole cgi script was downloaded

I put it on my HD and modified it just a tad. Try it agian

I don't know what to tell you, it was working ok for me. Are you useing the right shebang?

Yeah.....when i run the script i get a blank page even though alll my text files are there....filespath points to the right place...and the text files are 20 lines long

Well, what kind of system are you running on. I was running on win32, I can install it on my server and see what happens. You mean your getting an ALL white page. Does it say "My files" at the top?
