This tool allows one to grab all of a Textbook's Chapter Summaries from the web, downloading them into one easy to manage HTML file. Your book must of course be available on McGraw-Hill's website.

usage:
perl summary.pl > summary.html

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use HTML::TableExtract; use LWP::Simple; use CGI; use constant CHAPTERS => 14; use constant TITLE => 'Communicating at Work: Principles and Practices + for Business and Professions, 7/e'; my $c = new CGI; print $c->h1( TITLE ); for ( 1..CHAPTERS ){ my $count = $_; my $URL = 'http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072400722/student_ +view0/chapter' . $_ . '/chapter_overview.html'; my $HTML = get($URL) or die $!; my $te = new HTML::TableExtract( depth => 2 , count => 1); $te->parse($HTML); foreach my $ts ($te->table_states) { print $c->h3(" Chapter $count Overview"); foreach my $row ($ts->rows) { print $c->p( join(',', @$row), "\n" ); } } }

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.
