Writing a script to extract wining lotto #'s from the html web page. however when its time to exract i notice that the page has no headers e.g date, numbers ect. i need assitance with writting this code pls! Here is my code so far.
!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
use HTML::Parser ();
use HTML::TableExtract;
$data = get('http://www.flalottery.com/exptkt/c3.htm')
How do i extract the data from the above website if there are no clearly marked headers? i know the usual syntax should look like this
$te = HTML::TableExtract->new( headers => [qw(Date Price Cost)] );
$te->parse($html_string);
# Examine all matching tables
foreach $ts ($te->tables) {
print "Table (", join(',', $ts->coords), "):\n";
foreach $row ($ts->rows) {
print join(',', @$row), "\n";
}
}
so how am i going to write the code to extract the data from this page when i have no idea if the above page has headers for the numbers or not?
