need help on searching through a parsed HTML table(used HTML::TableExtract)

show some sample data and explain what you are doing. Trying to understand what you wrote without benefit of some sample data is pretty much impossible.

Suppose I get this table after I parse a HTML:

Name:General Test
Address:0x0
target:N

Bits Description
9 Error_in_buffering
7 Error_in_sight
8 OverFlow_control
0 flow_test_0

(bit and decription are two separate columns I could not find a way to display it as such)
What I wanna do is if the user inputs error, flow in the command line I should be able to generate

Error_in_buffering bit:9 Name : general test address:0x0
Error_in_sight bit:7 Name : general test address:0x0
OverFlow_control bit:8 Name:general test address:0x0

Note:Name ,Target, address table is always above the bit description table
So there are multiple tables like these pair

general outlook:
-there are multiple tables which have been parsed now I have to take user input to search for the keyword and find the corresponding bit,name,address,target

I could do keyword search easily if I turn the parsed output into a text file but since I need to have the corresponding and the information(name,target,address) from the corresponding table right above I have to parse it in a table format or in other words I have to do the program from HTML::TableExtract itself.

So all I want to know is how to get the parsed html output as a data structure instead of plain text so that I can interact with the parsed data. If there is some easier way to do this I would appreciate your kindness

Thanks for the reply I appreciate.






error_in_buffering bit::9

can anyone help?? I would appreciate any help thanks

Sorry, but I have no idea how to do what you want. Ask on www.perlmonks.com
