Re: [TCLUG:15558] run web-search ...perl doc
Thanks! I've got a perl script that outputs the results for quering my web
page! Do you know a web site that would explain how to go about reducing
my output to a single line of the output of the query. Is there grep and
sed within perl (or a better way). I thought there was, but I don't know
know how to grep the output from
print $ua->request($req)->as_string;
piping to grep nor
grep( stuff, $ua->request($req)->as_string;
works.
I think what I need is a quick overview of the basics of perl. The only
web-sites I found include all functions in perl and are quite daunting.
Any ideas?
Thanks again,
Ben
