Copying contents of a file into an html combobox/option field
|
Can't Post

Hi there,
I am a beginner user of perl.
i am having difficulty with my webpage. i wish to open a file, essentially choose one of the columns and copy it into a combo box.
at the moment my solution is:
my $modulefile = 'module.txt';
my @lines;
my $dept;
my $modcode;
my $modname;
my $sem;
<td width="47%"><div align="right"> Department: </div></td>
<td width="53%"><input type="text" name="textfield"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><div align="right"> Module: </div></td>
<td> <select name="select2" id="select2">
#open file. copy into array "@lines". close the file.
open (module, $modulefile);
@lines = <module>;
close (module);
#split file, print modname string into
foreach $_(@lines) {
my ($dept,$modcode,$modname,$sem) = split(/\\t/,$_);
print "<option>$modname</option>";
}
</select></td>
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
