Word->Documents->Tables(1)->Range->Start gives the first character and
Word->Documents->Tables(1)->Range->End returns the last character
You can get the range object for paragraphs also and then compare Starting
and
Ending positions.

There is a Lists collection, just like Tables and you can check the
ListLevelNumber
or something similar to that.

The easiest thing to do is to pipe your output through less or more
sub select_elem {
my $array = shift;
my $prompt = "Type Q to quite selection view use arrow keys to
scroll";
while (1) {
#my $pipe = IO::File->new("| less '-P$prompt'") || die;
my $pipe = IO::File->new("| more") || die;
{ local($SIG{PIPE}) = 'IGNORE';
foreach my $i (0..$#{$array}) {
printf $pipe " %3d : %s\n", ($i+1), $array->[$i];
}
$pipe->close;
}
print "Selection is: ";
my $v = <STDIN>;
chomp($v);
return undef if ($v =~ /^(q|quit|bye|exit)$/i);
return $array->[$v] if ($v =~ /^\d+$/ and $v < $#{$array});
}
}
If you want something more sophisticated, you might look at Curses for
console/screen handling on unix, Term::ReadKey will also help you with
consoles on windows and unix, for guis you might want consider Tk (on
unix and windows).

I know this generally not the place for this type of question but I was
wondering if anybody else has had this problem.
I have Redhat 8.0 and perl was included (5.8.0)
I do not have much experience with perl but it seems that the following
should work
test.pl
--------
!# /usr/bin/perl
print "Hello, World";

I run this file from the command line
perl test.pl
but nothing happens
I even tried perl -c test.pl
and everything came back fine as far as syntax
Any help would be appreciated.

Actually, something did happen, only it happened
so fast that you never saw it.
You didn't put a newline character at the end
of your string, so it printed the Hello, World
and _very_ quickly, overwrote it with your prompt.
Try:
print "Hello, World\n";

That's strange.
It runs fine for me on RH 7.2.

Might as well see if perl itself can help you find suspicious code:
perl -cw test.pl
> and everything came back fine as far as syntax
The syntax _is_ fine, it is a valid Perl program, same as:
! print "Hello, World";
You would get a warning about that if you had asked for warnings.

Message-Id: <Pine.LNX.4.30.0211141624520.23921-100000@b375-15.cdf>
Hi,
I have the following line in my html file:
<a href="cgi-bin/fetchPosters.pl?var1='music'"
target="content">Music</a><br/>
and the following in my fetchPosters.pl script
my $userinput = = $cgi->param('var1');
However, it doesn't work. I think I am goofing up some dumb syntax,
thought I can't find an example on the web. They all use the flippin forms
and inputs. I wanna know how I can pass variable this way (or some other)
using hyperlinks (NO FORMS!).

You should use:
my $userinput = $cgi->param('var1') || "";
# If parameter 'var1' does not exist the value is set to "".
And '==' is used for comparing.

Mike,
Thanks. You're right. I was thinking about multi-dimensional hashes
incorrectly. My head still hurts...but it's beginning to sink in.
Is there an online resource that explains the concepts of when it's best
to use hashes and when it's best to use arrays?

Actually, it's quite simple:
When the abstract data structure is a list (i.e. it has an order), then
arrays are the right choice.
If the abstract data structure is a mapping and the domain are numbers and
are more or less continuous, then arrays are the right thing.
If the abstract data structure is a set (i.e. it has no order and elements
cannot appear twice) then the keys of a hash are the right choice (you can
ignore the values).
If the abstract data structure is a mapping and the domain are arbitrary
scalars (opposite to continious numbers) then a hash is the right choise.
So first of all think about what features you need for your data structure
and then choose the proper data type. Features to consider are
- is the order of the elements significant?
- can values appear more than once?
- what is the domain of my mapping, numbers or arbitrary scalars?
Based on the answers pick your choice.

Subject: Tar'ing files and changing directory in the tar file using Archive::Tar
Message-Id: <34d8fec1.0211141313.21d90644@posting.google.com>
On my staging machine I have files sitting in a directory appropriate
to the type of file it is for production sites.
(ie. Oracle forms under a /forms directory, scripts under a /scripts
directory, reports under a /reports directory)
In essence we have a structure like:
/u01/app/application/forms/XXX001F.fmx
/u01/app/application/reports/XXX001R.rep
/u01/app/application/scripts/XXX001.sh
Additionally, before we go to production we place files in a release
directory.
/u01/app/release/1.0.0/
/u01/app/release/1.0.1/
etc...
Once a release is ready to go, the files are placed there:
/u01/app/release/1.0.0/XXX001F.fmx
/u01/app/release/1.0.0/XXX001R.rep
/u01/app/release/1.0.0/XXX001.sh
then tar'ed and compressed into one file from the release directory...
I want to create a tar file off of the files placed in the
/u01/app/release tree but I would like to specify a relative path that
would be present in the tar file, irrespective of it having been found
all in the same "release directory".
In other words, I want to create a tar file from the files found in
the release directory but for the tar file to understand that
XXX001F.fmx belongs in "/u01/app/application/forms" on the production
machine.
It's a simple matter to determine where the file belongs. My problem
is trying to create a tar file from the "release" directory and
somehow indicate to "tar" that file X is going into Y directory in
production.
I couldn't find an obvious way to do this using the tar command, so I
was hoping that perhaps Archive::Tar could accomplish this. I've
installed Archive::Tar, and read the perldoc but it doesn't seem to be
able to accomodate what I'm hoping to achieve.
Can someone offer an example of how this might be accomplished using
perl?
Thanks

This is not your first posting to clpm. I wonder that you still haven't
figured out how to do proper postings. Supply context, that is, quote
the parts you are responding to. Do that in an accepted manner: First
the quote immediately followed by your comments. Otherwise you will end
up in quite a few killfiles which would render this group pretty useless
to you.
Also sprach Linux.ie:
> dont understand,i want to write to reply.txt file
Then you open the file before using print():
open FILE, ">reply.txt" or die "Error: $!";
print FILE "This goes to the file\n";
close FILE;
This is all documented: 'perldoc -f open' and 'perldoc perlopentut'.
Don't expect this group to be your interactive manpage. If you do so
same consequences will apply as described above.

What do you don't understand? Without providing context your posting doesn't
make any sense.
Do write/print something use the 'print' command. Further details see
'perldoc -f print'.
Do print to a file open that file first ('perldoc -f open'), then print to
the filehandle ('perldoc -f print').

Yes there was a typo in the advice given to you (which you failed to
quote). Guessing what the typo was from the error message "no comma
allowed" (which presumably gave you the line number too) is left as an
IQ test for the reader.

Read the man page for whatever shell you're using. If it doesn't have
print, it should have echo. Either one can write to a file on
disk. Unless you're using some csh variant, I'm not sure they can do
this kind of file redirection.

What is "that"?
No, you don't have to *write* anything before "that".
It would be sufficient if you *don't delete* that part of the original text
that you are refering to.
