ostream command

Hi all!

I have a question for those of that might have used the iw_ostream tag. I have a .tpl file that i use to create an asp. It is a home page for a specific site. It works fine no problem.

What I want to do is to extract certain components from the page and create separate html file from these components. Any one done anything like this before?

The ostream command seems fairly straight forward but when I use it, it seems to cut out the code from the original asp being created. I don't want it to do that, I want it to duplicate it? Any ideas?

I tried buffering the whole page as well as create the components? Is there any other way rather that going through this lengthy process?

If you only want certain parts of the whole page duplicated (seems a bit strange, but ...) - then you would only need to 'buffer' those parts - I'd consider putting that section of generated-page into a Perl variable and then use *both* iwpt_output() and iw_ostream for just that piece of code. Something like (rough, likely to contain errors):

...main-page-content...
<iw_perl>
  my $tmp = ... content-to-be-duplicated ...;
  iwpt_output($tmp);
</iw_perl>
<iw_ostream file="filename-for-snippet">
  <iw_value name="tmp"/>
</iw_ostream>
... more-main-page-content...
Hope that helps

Hey seems like an excellent idea. I'll try it now...

What about if you want your perl variable to contain a chunk of html, for example a table....it spans over several lines.

What I posted was a simplified form - it's Perl - you can do what you want with it...

my $tmp = <<EOS;
...
...
EOS

my $tmp = join("\n", ..., ..., ...);

my $tmp = "...";
$tmp .= "... $_ ..." foreach(@something);

etc.
