From bpm at binarymojo.net Mon Feb 2 22:12:45 2004 From: bpm at binarymojo.net (Kevin Christopher) Date: Mon Aug 2 21:25:58 2004 Subject: [Buffalo-pm] February Buffalo Perl Mongers Meeting Message-ID: <32845.67.75.60.85.1075781565.squirrel@my.modwest.com> Fellow Perl Mongers: I'd like to hold our meeting this month on Thursday, February 19th, 7-9 p.m. (a week later than usual). If that works for everyone else, I'll go ahead and add a page to the Buffalo-PM wiki at buffalo.pm.org/kwiki for everyone to sign up for Lighting Talks (which was the plan we originally had for this month). Also, I'd like some input from everyone about whether you'd rather have the meeting on or off the UB campus this month. If the majority who get back to me want it off campus, we'll have the meeting at Higher Grounds Coffee House and I should be able to arrange getting a digital projector for presentations. - Kevin From dmagnuszewski at yahoo.com Wed Feb 4 01:19:28 2004 From: dmagnuszewski at yahoo.com (Daniel Magnuszewski) Date: Mon Aug 2 21:25:58 2004 Subject: [Buffalo-pm] X-Term Interface Application... In-Reply-To: <32845.67.75.60.85.1075781565.squirrel@my.modwest.com> Message-ID: <20040204071928.72363.qmail@web21105.mail.yahoo.com> Mongers, Here's my question: I need to create a table that will hold different data values (essentially a matrix) that will have a static size of 16 X 16. This will be viewed through a UNIX X-Term window. What I want, is to be able to have the data be dynamic, but still maintain the structure of my table throughout. The structure I'm looking for is something like (for those of you who are familiar with) running the mysql command: SELECT * FROM table; from the command line. I've looked quickly at printf(), but was hoping that perhaps there was a better way, a more interesting way, or perhaps someone has already done something of this nature. Please send me your thoughts/suggestions. Thanks! -Dan P.S - Kevin, the meeting time/date sounds good to me. I'm not opposed to having it at UB, but it really doesn't make a difference to me if we can get projectors at Higher Grounds. I will most likely conjure up something Perl to talk about as well. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.

Curses is the old-style user interface design tool that produces terminal-based applications like the email-reader pine. Of course, there are several Perl modules providing hooks into the native curses stuff on your system. Go to the search.cpan.org home page and click User Interfaces. You'll see Curses on the results page. You could also go one page further by clicking on the 'Term' link at the top of the User Interfaces page. There are a ton of modules there also.

If you're looking for an interesting way to output data you are storing in the same structure, but outputing it repeatedly, take a look at the perl "format" keyword. perldoc -f format If you're looking to do something like the "top" utility in unix, where you keep updating the structure on the same screen, definitely look at Jim suggestion of the Curses library. I have used it basically before and it was rather straightforward. (Just remember you need curses installed on the system as a dependency for any curses module).
