Hey Perl Guru's:) I'm hoping that someone can help me out... I have a regular'ol ASCII file which I'll need to read only the first line, and parse the three numbers that are seperated by commas and print the results.
This file will always consist of the same lines, but the numbers will be different. For example, here is a paste from the ASCII file: 62.7, 28.8, 5.6 <body> ,N701455F:sL065 WaterSensor Dry. </body></html> <body> eN701462F:hL066 WaterSensor Dry. </body></html> All I care about is the numbers listed in the first line. First Number = Temperature Second Number = Humidity Third Number = Illumination I want to parse each of these into a format such as this: Current Temperature: $temp Current Humidity: $humidity Current Illumination: $lumes How do I go about opening this file, reading the first line, parsing the three numbers into variables, then printing the results? So far, this is what I have but look at the results printed below: #!/usr/bin/perl # # Set Vars my $date=`date`; # # Run Program # print "content-type: text/html \n\n"; print "<HTML><BODY><P>"; print "<HEAD><title> Data Center Temperature</title></HEAD>"; print "<H2> Data Center</H2> "; print "Date: $date "; print '<form action="dctemp.pl" method=post> <P> <P>'; print "<BR>"; open(DCTEMP,"/tmp/current_dctemp"); while (<DCTEMP>){ chomp; ($temp, $humidity, $lumes) = split(","); print "<BR>"; print "Temperature: $temp\n"; print "Humidity: $humidity\n"; print "Illumination: $lumes\n"; print "$_ \n"; } close (DCTEMP); # RESULTS: Temperature: 62.4 Humidity: 29.0 Illumination: 5.6 62.4, 29.0, 5.6 Temperature: Humidity: N701455F:eL065 WaterSensor Dry. Illumination: ,N701455F:eL065 WaterSensor Dry. Temperature: Humidity: Illumination: Temperature: eN701462F:sL066 WaterSensor Dry. Humidity: Illumination: eN701462F:sL066 WaterSensor Dry. Temperature: Humidity: Illumination: Thanks for any help! :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
