Hi Thanks for the suggestion, it is a good approach. I am having some difficulty getting it to work though. The content is indeed multiple lines. I think i can get it working though, so Thank again. Jez

Hi All, I hope someone might be able to help me by taking a look at my regex and telling me where i am going wrong :-) I have a load of text files in the format Title: blah blah blah over one or many lines Article Body: blah blah blah over many lines I am trying to capture the content of...

Hi, I have a bunch of XSD files and a bunch of XML files can i create a database from this using some tool? I have been searching all over the internet and there is lots of talk of the other direction i.e. SQL to XSD & XML, but i want to go the other way. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jez

Thanks, I will give that a try. Full paths are currently givinge errors with the use statements so I guess I have to edit all the paths in the script too.

Hi, I am trying to automate a script that needs to run every other night. When i run it from the command line:- perl limey.cgi from within the httpdocs folder of linux webserver, all is runs fine. Then in the cron tab i have the following entry 23 1 */2 * * /var/www/vhosts/[DOMAIN...

Thanks for the suggestion i will try it. ..And i will refrain from having any opinions in future, I didn't realise that being a developer means i am not allowed to make any observations about software that repeatedly fails to deliver. I have been working around it since 1995, is it too much to...

It seems that the update function is the one failing. If i change that to innerHTML then it works. It would be good if this 1) threw an error in IE when it fails 2) was noted in the prototype docs that it is not 100% in IE or 3) IE just worked like a real piece of software. On a side note...

Hi all, I have some code that works without error in FF but simply fails to run in IE. I have done some alert based testing and the AJAX function does get data from the server but as soon as i try and populate any element i get nothing, no errors or any kind of hint in IE. Here is the code...

Thanks for the suggestions. Since posting here i have tried to use only system commands such as "cp" to do the copy, this is to make sure that there is no different failure with or without perl. The problems i have had continued, but i have tracked them back to a poorly performing NetApp SAN...

Hi everyone, I am trying to copy files from a HSM archive. They appear as stub files but give name and size correctly. When i then try and copy it fails with 'no such file or directory'. This only happens on files that are not cached, for instance if i try and copy it fails, then i try on the...

Hmm.. it seems i have a problem elsewhere then. ... This is a migration from a previous system and i have looked at the data in the old system, the data that was migrated and it is in fact an error in the numbering in the data, SO.. you are exactly right and i should not have trusted the data...

Actually, ignore the stuff about the local machine as that is not where it needs to work, It is definitely an INT on the server yet i still get the results as per the first post. Could it be casting some data or something?

You are half right. It WAS a varchar, but it is most certainly an INT now. I thought the same thing, so i have changed the field but it does not seem to be reflected in my query. In phpmyadmin for this DB it shows as an INT field and having downloaded the db to my local machine and running...

Hi All, I am doing a select statement with 4 joins (LEFT), to produce a list of questions stored in the database. I want to list these by their Section in order to populate a form. For instance i have Section 1, question 1 = What is your name... etc. I am using order by Section, Question to...

Yes, i saw that and removed it for my first test and it worked so.... Thanks, Jez
