I'm using html::tokeparser::simple and will next place desired data into hashes, but I'm having problems getting to the individual pieces of data.
After using html::tokeparser::simple, then using a regex and pushing data into a new array, I can't access individual elements of the array. Using data dumper, I see several variables that are undefined, in addition to the 3 digit wind directions that I'm looking to access individually via $wnddir[2] etc. My goal is to only have what I'm trying to parse (wind directions of 3 digits each in this case) in my array that I'm pushing to. Here's my code: #!/usr//bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use CGI qw(:standard); use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); use LWP::Simple qw(!head); use HTML::TokeParser::Simple; use Data::Dumper; print header; print start_html("WindshftObs"); my @wnddir = (); my @times = (); my $sjc="sjc"; my $sfo="sfo"; my $sql="sql"; #call sub to loop through ob data and parse wnd direction and time of #observation my @data = Winds($sfo, $sjc); foreach my $datum (@data) { my ($wnds) = $datum =~ (/(\d{3})+\d{2}KT|(\d{3})+\d{2}G\d{2}KT/); push @wnddir, $wnds; my ($Offtime) = $datum =~ (/\d{2}(\d{2})\d{2}Z/); push @times, $Offtime; } print Dumper @wnddir; print "@wnddir<br>"; sub Winds { return "Error: No argument sent to Winds" unless @_; my @apt = @_; my @data; foreach my $icao (@apt) { my $url = "http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/getobext.php? wfo=&sid=K$icao&num=3&raw=3&dbn=m&banner=off"; my $content= get($url) or die "Error getting file: $!"; my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new(\$content) || die "Can't open: $!"; while (my $token = $p->get_token) { next unless $token->is_text; push @data, $token->as_is; } } return @data; } print end_html; And here's my results: $VAR1 = undef; $VAR2 = undef; $VAR3 = undef; $VAR4 = '280'; $VAR5 = '280'; $VAR6 = '340'; $VAR7 = undef; $VAR8 = undef; $VAR9 = undef; $VAR10 = undef; $VAR11 = '330'; $VAR12 = '330'; $VAR13 = '340'; $VAR14 = undef; 280 280 340 330 330 340 Thanks for your time and any explanations you can give...
