After filling out a form, following a link, and getting the right content, I would like to print a range of lines from that content. Like so:
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(); $mech -> get("http://www.website.com"); $mech->form_number( 1 ); $mech->field(login => "username"); $mech->field(password => "secret number"); $mech->submit(); $mech->success or die "post failed: ", $mech->response->status_line; $mech->follow_link( text_regex => qr/name of link/i ); $mech->success or die "post failed: ", $mech->response->status_line; $mech->{content} or $mech->content() gives me the content from which I would like to use the range operator (...) upon. I can't make any kind of line operator work on the content object, though. my $file = $mech->{content}; print "$file\n"; # this prints everything open FH, "$file"; #this no worky while (<FH>) { print if m/start_regex/...m/end_regex/; } What would be the best way to print out a range of lines from the content with 2 different delimiters? Do I have to make the content a file first and then open a filehandle? Thanx, Stu ____________________________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10
