The text file that I want to insert is
dougs.txt
============= Which has two sentences =============
Hey it works...
Happy Belated Birthday...
==============================================
The Code
dougs1.cgi
=============================================
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html", "\n\n";
print "<HTML>\n<HEAD>\n";
print "<title>test page</title>\n";
print "</head>\n";
print "<body>\n";
print "Test 1\n";
open TEXT, "../cards/dougs.txt";
while (<TEXT>) {
$text = "$text.$_"
}
print "$text\n";
print "\n\n\n";
print "Test 2\n";
open(TEXT, "../cards/dougs.txt");
($ip) = <TEXT>;
close TEXT;
chomp($ip);
print "$ip\n";
print "</body>\n";
print "</html>\n";
==========================================
The Output
==========================================
Test 1 .Hey it works... .Happy Belated Birthday... . . Test 2 Hey it
works...
==========================================
The Question:
What do I need to do to get the Output to look like dougs.txt?
and
How come my newline \n"; didn't seem to work??? Where did the dots come
from?
