Hi everybody,

I have a little problem retrieving a specific variabel from my parsed string.

the URL looks like this:

URL?submit=send&number=2&total=10&nums_todo=18&num s_done=2

actually it is longer than that

I'm using a GET method

I use the following code (It is an example I got from the internet):

@Form = split (/&/, $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'});
foreach $i (@Form){
($name, $value) = split(/=/, $i);
}

My question is:
How do I retrieve the "2" from the "number" in the query string ? I only need to use that.
Can I put it in a variabel so that I can use it. I don't need the other information from the query string.

Help. I'm a beginner.

I think this is part of the code of getting the parameters from a URL.

You should use the CGI.pm module to handle this...

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw(:standard :form);
use strict;

my $cgi = new CGI;
my $number = $cgi->param('number');

print $cgi->header(-type=>'text/html');
print "The Number: " . $number . " \n";

When you call the URL like this... http://www.URL.com/script.pl?number=3, the page should display:

The Number: 3
