Re^7: capturing STDOUT

in thread capturing STDOUT

You could try setting Content-Disposition: inline, but be aware that the Content-Disposition header is just advisory. The browser is free to do what it likes with the file: open it in an external program, save it to disk, or stir some eggs and cream into it and make it into a lovely soufflé. The inline disposition indicates that you'd like it to open within the browser window, but I don't think very many browsers are capable of doing that.

Personally I'd format it as an HTML table and use a little Javascript trickery to allow people to select columns and copy them to the clipboard.

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

Such code would need to be written in Javascript and not in Perl. This is outside the focus of this site. What Javscript code to use would depend on what Javascript framework you use. I think there are numerous methods to display spreadsheets in a browser, for example handsontable. You will have to learn about HTML and Javascript if you choose to go down that route.	[reply]
