Re: About the search question

I do not understand why we cannot write for a personal response???
I agreee that at times a post can trigger a slew of nasty responses.

Hi Ron and listers,

Yes Ron, I also agree with you and Rob that all questions AND especially
answers should be sent to the list so everybody can benefit from it or maybe
suddenly see a different way of doing things for their own sites.
I already had a discussion with Rob why I asked for personal answers. It was
not intended from me to deprive the list of any interesting answers. Again
it was not meant like that. On other lists I have been on most messages
meant as a direct discussion with a person mostly trigger name-calling
contests that people should write to those persons personally. Because this
list works differently I appologise.

Back to the question at hand.

You say there is a simple way of perl-scripting to take <tr> table rows out
of a html table that contain a certain word or string and paste the rows
<tr>string+other stuff in this row</tr> into a table on this page or a new
one. It would be triggered by typing a word into a text-filed and pressing
submit.
Maybe put the initial long table on a separate page in order not to create a
long wait for the viewer.
I would love to see how you wrote this code.

At this moment I am also looking into using asp to search through an excel
sheet and take the wanted rows out. I think both methods have advantages and
disadvantages. But I would be interested in the script.

Thanks very much for your help,
bob
