close(HTML);
}
#(Onto the next file if $num has not reached $filecount
#Repeat until we hit the $filecount argument specified in the commandHere's my newest little script in perl. It's nothing really advaned, but it's quick for something simple. What this does is it will take parameters specified in the arguments of the command line for the script to determine html file creation requirements. These requirements include two variables that gets taken from the input command as an argument from the command line, such as a filename for the html's created, and a number of files to create with the html file extension.
Something like:
Code:
html.pl ace 3Will tell the script to output 3 html files all linked to each other with the filename of ace and a filenumber before the file extension.
So it would output:
- ace1.html
- ace2.html
- ace3.html
And all are linked to each other.
I've commented out my entire script so that it's easy enough for you to follow along.
For use, the syntax stays the same as long as you have the pl file saved as html.pl on your local storage. Otherwise it would just be the name of the pl script followed by the last half of the syntax i've provided, which should be obvious.
If you save this script as htmlcreator.pl, then instead of the syntax being html.pl it would be htmlcreator.pl. Pretty simple.
