in thread Adding Line Numbers to the MIT Shakespeare

Hi,

Sorry for asking maybe a very simple question, but where should I enter the file (or the name of the file) for parsing?

Thanks in advance,

Eduardo

    Input: an HTML file using the MIT Shakespeare Format

    Provide the input file when running the script, like this:

    perl scriptname.pl inputfile.html

      Thanks for your answer, marto.

      The parsing worked.

      But how to "capture the output into a new html file"?

      I used the following command:

      "perl scriptname.pl inputfile.html > result.html".

      In the result.html file that was generated, I added the stylesheet indicated: 

      <style type="text/css">
.lineNum {
position: absolute;
left: 550px;
}
</style>

      [download]

      But the result.html file didn't show any line numbers.

      What may I have done wrong?

      P.S. - I've compared the original and the result file, before adding the stylesheet, and they are exactly the same. So the parsing didn't work as it should.

        perl shake.pl lear.htm > learout.htm

        Adding the style sheet as instructed produced results for me, every 5th line is numbered on the right hand side.

        Update: should you wish line numbers to be displayed at a different frequency the part of the code which deals with this is fairly simple to alter.

        Update 2: Observations from your youtube video:

        • The output file is larger than the input file. This is good, something has changed.
        • The Shakespeare dir is missing a sub directory. When I saved a play it generated:

        HTML

        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="lear_files
+/shake.css">

        [download]

        Directory/file

        C:\>dir lear_files
 Volume in drive C is XP MP 3.01
 Volume Serial Number is CE02-00E2

 Directory of C:\lear_files

15/02/2013  09:39    <DIR>          .
15/02/2013  09:39    <DIR>          ..
15/02/2013  09:39               259 shake.css

        [download]

        If you don't have this css in the location (note that in your file it's looking for /shake.css) it won't render properly on screen. Get this file, save it to your Shakespeare directory.

        Update 3: http://shakespeare.mit.edu/shake.css
