Bright pink waffles

[SNYder]

I need to know how to make dynamic text appear on my website

the text that i want to appear is in a txt file. how do i get that text files current text to appear as text on the website?

someone suggested something like

#include virtual="http://www.snyder.f2s.com/files/prog0.txt"

but I dont kjnow how to impliment that into the html.

any help would be appriciated.

very very easy.

use that with a perl script, which is cgi.

download this zip file, and there are 2 files.

place both in a cgi bin, chmod the PL file as 755, and call it by typing in an html doc,

code:
<!--#include virtual="cgi-bin/random.pl" -->

rename the html file to a .shtml file (webpage.shtml) and upload.

all done.

thanks man i'll let you know if i get it to work

----------------edit--------------

ummm. dude. im brand new to perl/cgi/etc.

what does chmod mean?

in CuteFTP you can do it. Right click the file, choose CHMOD and select 755.

Or, telnet into it and type CHMOD (filename) 755.

ok. i did it. but what was that supposed to do? i dont even know what chmod means.

note: i got my dynamic text to work, thanks. but id like to get this random text thing to work too, so i still owuld like to know what chmod means. :P

For your benefit, here's the man page for chmod:

code:
sand:~ % man chmod







CHMOD(1)                       FSF                       CHMOD(1)





NAME

       chmod - change moderators



SYNOPSIS

       chmod [OPTION]... MODERATOR NONMODERATOR



DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page documents the Winamp version of  chmod.

       When  called without any options, chmod changes  MODERATOR

       into   "Junior  Member"  and  promotes  NONMODERATOR  into

       "Moderator".



       chmod  never  changes  the permissions of ElChevelle;  the

       chmod system call would rather not bring upon his wrath.



OPTIONS

       -a, --admin

              promotes NONMODERATOR into "Administrator"



       -s, --senior

              changes MODERATOR into "Senior Member"



       -w, --waffles

              confiscates  MODERATOR's waffles and gives them  to

              NONMODERATOR



       --help display this help and exit



       --version

              output version information and exit



REPORTING BUGS

SEE ALSO

       The full documentation for chmod is maintained as  a  Tex*

       info  manual.  If the info and chmod programs are properly

       installed at your site, the command



              info chmod



       should give you access to the complete manual.
