Hi again, have a new script her, I want to create a code that will read a data file of the following format
<number of times> <sleep time> The first column describes how many times the script should download a URL, and the second column describes how many seconds the tool should sleep before going on... This is what i got this far, (I prefer to use the unix, wget command to do this operation if posible) #! /usr/bin/perl $data = "file"; $URL = "www.cnn.com"; $c = 1; open (FILE, $data) or die "Error: $!"; while ($line = <FILE>){ my @array = split /\s+/,$line; my $exe = $array[0]; my $sleep = $array[1]; if ($c >= $exe) { system('wget "$URL"'); $c++; } sleep $sleep; } This is clearly wrong, but could anyone please tell meg how to get this scipt
