Hi webhay,

These could not be the better way but you can use it.

HTML
#Ex. Radio Group (3 choices)
<input type="radio" name="Radio" value="choice 1" checked>
<input type="radio" name="Radio" value="choice 2">
<input type="radio" name="Radio" value="choice 3">
# Check box
<input type="checkbox" name="check" value="ON">

CSV FILE (fields separated by \t line end \n)
#Radio #Chech
Choice 1 \t ON \n
Choice 3 \t OFF(or undef) \n
Choice 2 \t ON \n

CGI
# Grab the line, split the field and associate with respective variables Ex: $radio and $check

$radio_1 = "";
$radio_2 = "";
$radio_3 = "";
$check_1 = "";

# Check $radio value
if($radio eq "Choice 1) { $radio_1 = "checked" }
elsif($radio eq "Choice 2) { $radio_2 = "checked" }
elsif($radio eq "Choice 3) { $radio_3 = "checked" }

# Check checkbox value
if($check eq "ON") { $check_1 = "checked" }

# Print HTML

print '<input type="radio" name="Radio" value="choice 1" '.$radio_1.'>
<input type="radio" name="Radio" value="choice 2" '.$radio_2.'>
<input type="radio" name="Radio" value="choice 3" '.$radio_3.'>
<input type="checkbox" name="check" value="ON" '.$check_1.'>';

This is a messy way to do it. I normaly use HTML::Template do to the output.

# Check $radio value
if($radio eq "Choice 1) { $radio_1 = "checked" }
elsif($radio eq "Choice 2) { $radio_2 = "checked" }
elsif($radio eq "Choice 3) { $radio_3 = "checked" }

# Check checkbox value
if($check eq "ON") { $check_1 = "checked" }

This could be better written as (besides that code would give a 500):

$radio_1 = "checked" if $radio eq 'Choice 1';
$radio_2 = "checked" if $radio eq 'Choice 2';
$radio_3 = "checked" if $radio eq 'Choice 3';
$check_1 = "checked" if $check eq 'ON';

Just a thought

Since the radio button can only have one value attributed to it (technically), I would do away with $radio_1, $radio_2, and $radio_3, and just have a variable which states which radio button was selected.

Code

for (1, 2, 3) { 
  $rnum = $_, last if $radio eq "Choice $_"; 
}

If the values are more complex than "Choice 1", "Choice 2", etc., then put them in an array, and go over it by index (yes, by index!):

Code

@hated_food = ( 
  "asparagus", "arugula", 
  "brussel sprouts", "spinach", 
  "pig's feet", "liver", 
); 
 
for (0 .. $#hated_food) { 
  $rnum = $_ if $radio eq $hated_food[$_]; 
}
