INSERT file contents inside a table

theravadamonk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Perl Monks,

I hv a /tmp/quarantine.ok file". It's contents are given below

May 3 15:58:17 SPAM sender@domain.com  peter.w@recipient.com  spam-Lub
+_LynRmcvj.gz
May 3 15:58:24 SPAM sender@domain1.com  coev074@recipient1.com  spam-g

I am currently displaying its contents with CGI via web browser. This is my code.


#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI ':standard';
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser'; # use only for testing

$ENV{"PATH"} = "/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin";

print "Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8\n\n";
print "<body bgcolor=\"#95B8DB\" onload=\"parent.adjustMyFrameHeight()
+;\">";

print "<div style=\"min-height:500px; dispaly:block;\">";

open FILE, "/tmp/quarantine.ok" or die $!;

while(<FILE>) {
     chomp;
     print "$_\n\n";
     print "<br />";
     print "<br />";
     print " \n";
}
close FILE;

print "</div>";
print "</body>";

Now, I want to INSERT file contents inside a table. I need these below table headers

TIME CATEGORY Sender Recipients Quarantined-ID . Under those I want to display table data.

Under time, Date and Time should displayed, Under CATEGORY, it's CATEGORY should be displayed ( whether its SPAM, BANNED or INFECTED). Under sender, email senders. Under recipients, recipients. Under Quarantined-ID, Quarantined-ID should be displayed.

How can I achieve it?

I came across this URL.

http://www.perlmonks.org/bare/?node_id=86850

But, I can't get it done.

Your ideas r welcome.

Hi, Many thanks for the code. it really works as I expected. But I have MADE a small mistake. Under recipients, there r many due to multiple Tos and CCs. When there r multiple recipients it Won't work. multiple recipients display in this way. `May 5 10:39:42 SPAM sender@domain1.com amil@recipient.com , dab@recip +ient.com , jay@recipient.com , sa@recipient.com , wid@recipient.com +spam-Nnlc4bqiNeQD.gz` [download] here's full data __DATA__ May 3 15:58:17 SPAM sender@domain.com peter.w@recipient.com spam-Lub +_LynRmcvj.gz May 3 15:58:24 SPAM sender@domain1.com coev074@recipient1.com spam-g +SCAdAuMpiD0.gz May 3 15:59:27 BANNED sender@domain2.com nadia.meli@grecipient2.com +banned-BpF8aM7FM48B May 3 16:00:29 SPAM sender@domain.com sascha_ste@recipient.com spam- +6fFrrzUjgvug.gz May 3 16:01:48 INFECTED sender@domain3.com philipp_me@recipient.com +virus-SZLvi-VO4IIv May 4 16:02:28 SPAM sender@domain.com caro.grill@recipient3.com spam +-saYzvikxOfVL.gz May 4 16:02:45 SPAM sender@domain.com pellitter@recipient.com spam-8 +K649OHNlRQ2.gz May 4 16:03:14 SPAM sender@domain1.com anton.d@recipient.com spam-3r +pUGn3IcDnG.gz May 5 10:39:42 SPAM sender@domain1.com amil@recipient.com , dab@recip +ient.com , jay@recipient.com , sa@recipient.com , wid@recipient.com +spam-Nnlc4bqiNeQD.gz May 5 11:00:41 SPAM sender@domain.com amil@recipient.com , duminda@re +cipient.com , samindak@recipient.com , vajirak@recipient.com spam-gj +WpzbXc8o1q.gz May 6 01:07:04 SPAM sender@domain1.com amil@recipient.com , samindak@ +recipient.com spam-x-vwwUP5yfqJ.gz May 7 12:54:26 SPAM sender@domian.com amil@recipient.com spam-o6LPjf +Cnz211.gz [download] I can understand this below line `my $date = join ' ',@f[0..2];` [download] I think I hv to change below code `$table .= join '',map{"<td>$_</td>"}$date,@f[3..6];` [download] How to display @f3..6; @f3..4 is OK. @f5 is the issue. will last (Quarantined-ID) become @f6?

A modification of my solution below would be to change the way the data is split up and put each row into a hash with an array of recipients `my @cols = split(/[,\s]+/); my %row; $row{quarantined_id} = pop @cols; for my $key ( qw( month day time category sender ) ) { $row{$key} = shift @cols; } $row{recipients} = \@cols; push @{$data{rows}}, \%row; ... [% FOR row=rows %] <tr> <td>[% row.month %] [% row.day %] [% row.t +ime %]</td> <td>[% row.category %]</td> <td>[% row.sender %]</td> <td>[% FOR recipient=row.recipients %][% r +ecipient %]<br />[% END %]</td> <td>[% row.quarantined_id %]</td> </tr> [% END %]` [download] Full example Read more...

I always recommend not trying to print out html in the middle of perl code. It looks messy is a nightmare to maintain. Much better to break the html out into a template. If you want to keep it as a single script you can have the template in the cgi it still provides a level of separation. In my opinion something like this is much easier to read and maintain. #!/usr/bin/perl use CGI ':standard'; use strict; use warnings; use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser'; # use only for testing use Template; my $cgi = new CGI; $cgi->header( -charset => 'utf-8' ); $ENV{"PATH"} = "/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"; my %data; while(<DATA>) { chomp; my @columns = split; push @{$data{rows}}, \@columns } close FILE; my $tt = new Template; my $template = q( <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>PM 1215287</title> </head> <body onload="parent.adjustMyFrameHeight();"> <div id='wrapper'> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Time</th> <th>Category</th> <th>Sender</th> <th>Recipients</th> <th>Quarantined-ID</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> [% FOR row=rows %] <tr> <td>[% row.0 %] [% row.1 %] [% row.2 %]</t +d> <td>[% row.3 %]</td> <td>[% row.4 %]</td> <td>[% row.5 %]</td> <td>[% row.6 %]</td> </tr> [% END %] </tbody> </table> </div> <style> body { background-color : #95B8DB; } #wrapper { min-height:500px; display:block; } table, tr, th, td { border : 1px solid grey; } </style> </body> </html> ); $tt->process( \$template, \%data ) or die $tt->error; __DATA__ May 3 15:58:17 SPAM sender@domain.com peter.w@recipient.com spam-Lub +_LynRmcvj.gz May 3 15:58:24 SPAM sender@domain1.com coev074@recipient1.com spam-g +SCAdAuMpiD0.gz May 3 15:59:27 BANNED sender@domain2.com nadia.meli@grecipient2.com +banned-BpF8aM7FM48B May 3 16:00:29 SPAM sender@domain.com sascha_ste@recipient.com spam- +6fFrrzUjgvug.gz May 3 16:01:48 INFECTED sender@domain3.com philipp_me@recipient.com +virus-SZLvi-VO4IIv May 4 16:02:28 SPAM sender@domain.com caro.grill@recipient3.com spam +-saYzvikxOfVL.gz May 4 16:02:45 SPAM sender@domain.com pellitter@recipient.com spam-8 +K649OHNlRQ2.gz May 4 16:03:14 SPAM sender@domain1.com anton.d@recipient.com spam-3r +pUGn3IcDnG.gz [download]	[reply] [d/l]
