Thanks that worked a treat. Thanks also for the information about the DOS window.

Thanks, I'll give that a bash.

Hi all, I'm having a bit of trouble with something I'm trying to do. It involves the £ sign but I can't search for help on google as it appears that what I would call a hash is referred to as a pound sign in PERL. Anyway I have a $ and a £ in my script. When I run the perl scrips in a DOS...

Hi SkipVought, Thanks for the reply. I see how that works and have been doing something similar but withour the pivot table. The problem is that with 20 different teams and 12 different types of runs it is getting really messy calculating the lot. Cheers Chivo

Hi all, I'm having trouble with the terminology never mind the forumla of what I am requiring to do. I basically have a spreadsheet of football scores. One of the columns, named "Result", has one of 3 values in it- W, D or L. What I am trying to do is automate a table that list the longest...

Hi ishnid, Thanks for that. Now, eventually, it's sinking in to my brain and I understand. That works a treat. Again thanks for taking the time and having the patience to explain it further. I'm now on my way. :D Chivo

Sorry but I had no joy with that. The pl file is now at: http://www.rangers-forever.co.uk/results66.pl Still no differece on the HTML document.

Ishnid, Cheers. I see what you mean. I'll go off and try that out now and hopefully have some success. Chivo

Thanks for the replies. @Kirsle- thanks for the explanation as I wasn't sure what way to implement PERL. @ishnid- I think I have been a bit silly and the shtml page may have been cached as it now works. I've started from scratch again with a simple setup. The PL file consists of just 1 print...

Hi all, I've created a small site and would like to add some new functionality. It's a football site and what I plan to do is add a match results page. The results I have in excel format but can easily convert to plain text, csv, access, etc. I know how to write the PERL to connect to a DB and...

Hi dkdude, Thanks for the reply. I'm fairly new to web design but have learned alot of PERL so for now I'd be as well sticking to that. The unfortunate thing is my host package doesn't have PHP capabilites so I'll have to leave that for now. When I finally do get around to PHP I'll give you a...

Hi all, I've created a small site and would like to add some new functionality. It's a football site and what I plan to do is add a match results page. The results I have in excel format but can easily convert to plain text, csv, access, etc. As I'm new to html I'm not sure of the best method...

Lol no problem. I'm a little old for school now. I've been doing a course on Web Design to change careers and decided to go back and do some scenario questions on Perl. It's amazing how much I have forgotten in such a short space of time- a month. My notes are sparse and I'm really struggling to...

Hi Kevin, Thanks alot, it worked a treat. More than that though thanks for the explanation. My head was hurting. I knew what was going wrong but couldn't see how to fix it and googling didn't help. I'll push on now but will probably be back at some point. Thanks again.

Hi all- newbie here. I could be a regular by the time my CIW course is finished. I have a query about data validation which I'm hoping will be bread and butter for someone. I've been asked to write a perl program to request input and check the response. The first of these is to ask for a 4...
