Post by thread:[ot] Converting to HTML, was PIC16C84 Tutorial Her

By the way, if there are Word Perfect or Word files out on the web that you want to view, you can convert them to HTML by preceeding the URL with http://hallikainen.com/cgi-bin/wp2html.pl? For example, try http://hallikainen.com/cgi-bin/wp2html.pl?http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Mass _Media/Notices/2000/da000268.doc Harold On Thu, 18 May 2000 10:34:18 EDT Tim Hamel <spam_OUTTekPhobiaTakeThisOuTAOL.COM> writes: {Quote hidden}> My apologies, accidentally hit send before I was done..here's the > original > message I tried to send: > > To all who requested this free book: > > The original document was in Word format, which was later kindly > converted to > HTML by Dan Creagan (hope I didn't spell it wrong, sorry if I did!). > I posted > it on my site: > > http://pc-tek.hypermart.net/pic.html > > If you prefer Word format, it's available as: > > http://pc-tek.hypermart.net/begin.rtf > > Kind regards, > > Tim Hamel FCC Rules Online at http://hallikainen.com/FccRules Lighting control for theatre and television at http://www.dovesystems.com ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Wow! Cool! How are you doing that? Is it shelling out to Word Perfect or Word and issuing OLE commands to tell it to make the conversion or is there some third party software that just does it? Can you show me how? --- James Newton (PICList Admin #3) .....jamesnewtonKILLspam@spam@piclist.com 1-619-652-0593 PIC/PICList FAQ: http://www.piclist.com or .org {Original Message removed}

Moving SEVERELY off topic, but interesting (I think)... It's a conversion program that I licensed for use on my FCC Rules site, since a lot of FCC documents are in Word or Word Perfect. I then wrote a perl script that calls the conversion program. For more info on the conversion program (WP2HTML), go to the end of the converted document and follow the link (I added) to WP2HTML. I thought it was pretty neat... and I really needed it! I wrote the perl script that generates the files for CiteSearch (for example, go to http://www.hallikainen.com/cgi-bin/section.pl?section=73.1350 , then hit CiteSearch at the bottom of the page). CiteSearch goes through about 35,000 files at http://www.fcc.gov, looks for citations of rules and forms links to those citations. These links to citations are put in files (one file per rule section) with the context of the cite (40 words before and after the cite) and a link to the document. The link to the document scrolls the browser window to that location (thank you Java Script). So, I needed WP2HTML to generate the index files (otherwise my script couldn't read the WP and DOC files), and to link back to the original documents. My next project is word and phrase searching...
