With LWP; wish to print a part of a page in browser

[dibyenduchatterjee]

Am using LWP module.
I wish to read a page and print a part of it.
I want t read first 300 characters of <div id="bodyContent "> written inside the html page.

Code I am using :

#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI;
use CGI;
use LWP::Simple;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use DateTime::Format::Strptime;
use JSON;
use HTML::Template;
use HTML::Parser;
use HTML::Entities;


$q = new CGI;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

my $url = '------site url comes here ----';

  use LWP::Simple;
  my $content = get $url;
  die "Couldn't get $url" unless defined $content;

  #$description = &convert_to_page(substr($content,0,650)); 
  print $content;

1;

What part are you having problems with? Also, since you are using the CGI.pm have it print your header for you.

print $q->header();

instead of:

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

You only have to have this once in your script for it to work. So, I would suggest that your remove the second one you have listed.

use LWP::Simple;

I can't see what you are doing in this sub "&convert_to_pa ge" but, you can use substr to get the first 300 characters by changing the 650 to 300.

my $page = substr($content,0,300);
print $page;

You could also use a regex to if you wish.
