( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I'm trying to pull the Ground Transit days off of the table at this URL:
http://www.dhl-usa.com/TransitTimes/USTTimeRslts.asp?nav=TransitTimes& +oz=53213&oc=1&oh=ORD&dz=60056&dc=1&dt=1/9/2006&tt=1&hy=&zn=2&am=Y
but I either get nothing (with the code I have here) or I get the error "can't call method "rows" on an undefined value at TableExtract.pm line 224.
$url="http://www.dhl-usa.com/TransitTimes/USTTimeStart.asp?nav=Transit +Times"; $service = "Service"; $arrival = "Arrival Date and Time"; $transit = "Days in Transit*"; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(); $mech->get($url); $frmSvcCalc = "frmSvcCalc"; $mech->form_name($frmSvcCalc); $mech->set_fields( txtOrgZip => "53213", txtDestZip => "60056", ); $mech->field( "hdnAction", "Calculate" ); $mech->submit($frmSvcCalc); my $results2 = $mech->content; print OUTFILE $results2; $te = HTML::TableExtract->new( headers => [qw($service $arrival $trans +it)] ); $te->parse($html_string); foreach $ts ($te->tables) { print "Table (", join(',', $ts->coords), "):\n"; foreach $row ($ts->rows) { print join(',', @$row), "\n"; } }
The other code that I try that gives me the error is:
my $te = HTML::TableExtract->new( headers => [qw($service $arrival $tr +ansit)] ); $te->parse($html_string); foreach my $row ($te->rows) { foreach my $cell (@$row) { print $cell; } }
I've tried a few other ways, but I obviously don't & can't get it. I'm beggin for help, and so is my hair (or what's left of it).

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
