Fort a project I've been assigned. I have a set of files (flora.html, flora2.html, flora3.html...) which access "higher files" (flora/flora-01.s.html...) And the higher files would be best to be created all at once. but I need to parse a series of 3things from the regular files. #####the needing to be parsed auditorium2.html ##### the [...] and the parentheses are my adding <tr height="235" valign="top" align="center"> <td [...]><a href="auditorium/(((Aud-19))).s.html" > [...] <p class="body">(((Southeast corner of Auditorium)))<br> <font class="body0">(((Jan. 1998)))</font></td> <td [...]><a href="auditorium/(((Aud-20))).s.html" > [...] <p class="body">(((Southeast corner)))<br> <font class="body0">(((Jan. 1998)))</font></td> <td [...]><a href="auditorium/(((Aud-21))).s.html" > [...] <p class="body">(((Case for notices at southeast corner)))<br> <font class="body0">(((Jan. 1998)))</font></td> </tr> #####thusly to... $auditorium{'Aud-19'}{'title'} = 'Southeast corner of Auditorium'; $auditorium{'Aud-19'}{'date'} = 'Jan. 1998'; $auditorium{'Aud-20'}{'title'} = 'Southeast corner'; $auditorium{'Aud-20'}{'date'} = 'Jan. 1998'; $auditorium{'Aud-21'}{'title'} = 'Case for notices at southeast corner'; $auditorium{'Aud-21'}{'date'} = 'Jan. 1998'; I guess what the biggest problem I'm having is how can I treat... <td [...]><a href="auditorium/Aud-19.s.html" > [...] <p class="body">Southeast corner of Auditorium<br> <font class="body0">Jan. 1998</font></td> ...as one unit when there are three lines. (i.e. associate 'Aud-19' to 'Southeast corner of Auditorium' and 'Jan. 1998') le meas, --nick # ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? # ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org
