Please help the scalar that is getting submitted for $input_data when this is submitted it is all one line. The file it reads in has line breaks. txtIncidentDescription is the description field that is having the issue. I am reading in the file with File::Slurp.
#!perl use strict; use warnings; use WWW::Mechanize; use Term::InKey; use Win32::Clipboard; use File::Slurp; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; #DETERMINING END USER my $oldSSO = qx{whoami}; chomp $oldSSO; my ($sso) = $oldSSO =~ /.*(\w{2}\d{5})/; #PROMPTING FOR PASSWORD print "Enter Password: "; my $pass = &ReadPassword; chomp $pass; #SETTING DATA TO SUBMIT my $input_data = read_file( 'C:/temp/vpn_user.txt' ); #DECLARE URL VARIABLES my $url1 = "https://url1"; my $url2 = "https://url2"; my $url3 = "https://url3"; #TURN OFF SSL CHECKING $ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME} = 0; #MECHANIZE TO GET AND PRINT CONTENT my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(timeout => 60, autocheck => 1); #SET COOKIE JAR $mech->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new); #USER AGENT $mech->agent_alias( 'Windows IE 6' ); $mech->get($url1); $mech->form_name('Login'); $mech->field(USER => "$sso"); $mech->field(PASSWORD => "$pass"); $mech->click(); $mech->get($url2); #SET FORM VALUES $mech->form_name('frmTicketCreate'); $mech->field('ddlProducts' => 1245); $mech->field('txtIncidentDescription' => $input_data); $mech->field('ctrlAssignedGroupLookup_mTxtName' => "assigned team"); $mech->field('__EVENTTARGET', 'ctrlAssignedGroupLookup_mBtnSearch_lnkB +utton'); $mech->submit('ctrlAssignedGroupLookup_mBtnSearch_lnkButton'); my $content_login = $mech->content(); my ($number) = $content_login =~ /ctrlAssignedGroupLookup_mCBLLookupGr +oups\S value\S\S(\d+)/; #print $number, "\n"; $mech->field('ctrlAssignedGroupLookup_mCBLLookupGroups' => $number); #$mech->form_name('frmTicketCreateFileUpload'); #SUBMIT FORM $mech->form_name('frmTicketCreate'); $mech->field('__EVENTTARGET', 'btnSave_lnkButton'); $mech->submit();

In reply to mechanize submission is all one line and loses line breaks reading input by diamondsandperls

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
