Hello newsgroup,
I have a perl script for publishing pages that produces ciphers with
anything exotic.
This is a recent script:
$ cat temp1.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use 5.010;
use Net::FTP;
use HTML::Entities;
use File::Basename;
use Cwd;
# diamond bracket in paragraph mode declared at top scope
$/ = "";
## usage needs 1 arg from argv my_ftp
#identity and config
my $ident = 'my_ftp.txt';
my ( $config, $domain );
$config = do($ident);
unless ($config) {
die("read error: $!") if $!;
die("parse error: $@") if $@;
}
$domain = $config->{ $ARGV[0] };
die("unknown domain: $ARGV[0]") unless $domain;
# get local files
my $path = "images1/";
my @files = <$path*>;
print " files are @files\n";
#dial up the server
my $ftp = Net::FTP->new( $domain->{domain}, Debug => 1, Passive => 1 )
or die "Can't connect: $@\n";
$ftp->login( $domain->{username}, $domain->{password} )
or die "Couldn't login\n";
$ftp->binary();
# go to /pages
$ftp->cwd("/pages") or die "Cannot change working directory ",
$ftp->message;
# show working directory
my $dir = cwd;
print "dir is $dir \n";
my $word = basename($dir);
print "word is $word \n";
# get files from remote root that end in php:
my @remote_files = $ftp->ls();
# make unique .php choice
my @matching = map /${word}_(\d+)\.php/, @remote_files;
print "matching is @matching\n";
push( @matching, 0 );
@matching = sort { $a <=> $b } @matching;
my $winner = pop @matching;
my $newnum1 = $winner + 1;
my $word2 = "${word}_$newnum1";
print " new word is $word2\n";
my $php_file = "${word2}.php";
print "php file is $php_file\n";
#make directory in images to correspond
$ftp->cdup();
$ftp->cwd("images/")
or die "Cannot change working directory ", $ftp->message;
$ftp->mkdir("${word2}/")
or warn "Cannot create directory ", $ftp->message;
$ftp->cdup();
# create file for html stubouts
open( my $fh, '>', $php_file )
or die("Can't open $php_file for writing: $!");
my $header = "php_template_stuff/header_center.txt";
# write in the header
open( my $gh, '<', $header ) or die("Can't open: $!");

print $fh $_;
}
#create template outside loop
my $template = <<'TEMPLATE';
<img src="/images/%s"/>
<p>%s</p>
TEMPLATE
open my $CAPTIONS, "<", "php1.txt" or die "file not there\n";
$ftp->cwd("/images/${word2}/") or die "cwd failed $@\n";
# main control
for my $name (@files) {
print "name is $name\n";
my $remote_file = basename($name);
print "remote is $remote_file\n";
$ftp->put( $name, $remote_file ) or die "put failed $!\n";
# captions
my $caption = <$CAPTIONS>;
$caption = encode_entities($caption);
printf $fh $template, "${word2}/" . $remote_file, $caption;
}
# write in the footer
my $footer = "php_template_stuff/footer_center.txt";
open( my $hh, '<', $footer )
or die("Can't open: $!");
while (<$hh>) {
print $fh $_;
}
close $fh;
$ftp->pwd();
$ftp->ls();
$ftp->cdup() or die "cdup failed $@\n";
$ftp->cdup() or die "cdup failed $@\n";
$ftp->cwd("/pages") or die "Cannot change working directory ",
$ftp->message;
$ftp->put($php_file) or die "put failed $@\n";
$
What is supposed to happen here is that the captions work despite the
language. For example, if I were to try state this in korean using
google translate to paste in the characters into php1.txt, the caption
file, this thing would want to work, but it manifestly doesn't. (I
could find the mistakes to prove it.)

Also fishing for templating ideas in general.
Peace.

The problem with taking korean head on is that I don't whether a symbol
means north or the number 5. We can re-cast the problem with cyrillic,
where I can tell what I'm reading.
I do most of this exercise to figure out the php and css of the new
thing I'm doing, which is adding navigation buttons. They don't work
yet, as I'm lacking content to link together at this point, so they're
just stubbed out roughly.
Anyways, I make a page in english:
http://merrillpjensen.com/pages/obamazombies_1.php
Then I fire up google translate, pasting the 3 paragraphs in, and first
lifting out the cyrillic characters that say the right thing and stuff
them in a file called russian1 . Then I take the phonetic output that
they give you now just because you asked and stuffed it in a file called
russian2.
http://merrillpjensen.com/pages/obamazombies_3.php
The first page shows a lot of D's and upside-down question marks. The
only word I can read is "boondoggle," which translate didn't know what
to do with.
http://merrillpjensen.com/pages/obamazombies_4.php
This reads fine, because there are no exotic characters.
I think I've framed the problem now. I thought the difficulty might be
that I had the captions as php1.txt, but it failed with cyrillic
characters pasted into a file called russian1 .
Do I get the charset declaration correct? I think so:
$ cd php_template_stuff/
$ cat headercenter.txt
cat: headercenter.txt: No such file or directory
$ cat header_center.txt
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/c2.css"/>
<title>Hippy Zombies!</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
<h1>"A look at the hated liberals"</h1>
$
A lot of people on this planet can do this. Why can't I?

Why do you think this is a Perl question? It is more likely to be a PHP
one, so a PHP group might be better.
In case it helps you frame the question better when you do post in a
suitable group, I offer a few observations:
The server does not specify a character encoding when serving the
page. Not fatal, but it sure helps to get that sorted out.
Almost all the key data is missing. What actually is in "russian1"?
When you post it (to the right group) a hex dump might be the best way
to show the contents, but "cat -A" would also work.
You don't show the PHP code, and I am not sure you show the template
that the code is acting on. You did post a file that might have been
the template but it did not look like one to me. It certainly contained
no clues as to what processing happens to build the page.
Please don't take this an invitation to discuss PHP, server
configuration, or any other non-Perl topics here.

See "negative look-behind" in perlre. The explanation is "works only for
fixed-width look-behind".
A quick, probably fragile, alternative:
my text;
{ undef $/; $text = <IN>;}
while ( $text =~ /\G ([^<]*?) (<.*?>) /sgx ) {
my($out, $in) = ($1,$2);
$out =~ s/(\d+)/[$1]/ag;
print $out, $in;
}

Thanks to all of you for the explanations.
This code does the trick:
use File::Slurp ;=20
my $text =3D read_file( 'testfile.txt' ) ;=20
while ( $text =3D~ /\G ([^<]*?) (<.*?>) /sgx ) {=20
my($out, $in) =3D ($1,$2);=20
$out =3D~ s/(\d+)/[$1]/ag;=20
print $out, $in;=20
}
It also works with these lines:
my text;=20
{ undef $/; $text =3D <IN>;}=20
This is the result of the test:
saddle stitcher:| </font><font color=3D"#008080"><b>repl. of [2] saddle sti=

Sorry, I found a flaw in the expression:
while ( $text =~ /\G([^<]*?)(<.*?>)/sgx ) {
If the text doesn't end with a tag, the last $out is not printed in:
print $out, $in;
The last printed character is a ">"
We need somehow to find an expression whicht prints the remaining characters.

lot of things, like colors and sizes. (And output image format.)
Any other suggestions for drawing chessboards besides "roll my own"?

Maybe not "needed" but it's probably quite easy if using Unicode chess
symbols is acceptable. I think they are quite well supported. Colours,
patterns on squares, borders etc can then all be done with some simple
CSS.

I'm quite aware of that part of Unicode. This page illustrates a nice
board done with those:
http://designindevelopment.com/css/css3-chess-board/
The board and pieces scale properly with changes in font size.
The big issue with HTML is not making it, it is then limited to
HTML viewers / contexts. Getting a good HTML design to render in
a forum, etc, is fraught with difficulty.
It just seems likely that someone has created tools to do this
already. (Someone went to a lot of work to make a wikipedia
template that turns ASCII art into HTML pages. What did those
wiki editors use to create board images before that template?)

I really like the functionality of pages like

This is some of the page source:
<link rel="Stylesheet"

<link rel="Stylesheet"

I don't know if that's relevant to what you want, but I like the way

Do you require GIF?
"figlet" has a pseudo-font called "eftichess" that is designed for

For a quick sample, go to

select "eftichess" as the font and "azyYyYZA" as the text.
