Ok, now I am amazed. -- DougMerritt

Original source code, since Casey West's web site has lost it:


        #!/usr/bin/perl

        use CGI':all';path_info=~/\w+/;$_=`grep -l $& *`.h1($&).escapeHTML$t=param(t)

        ||`dd<$&`;open F,">$&";print F$t;s/htt\S+|([A-Z]\w+){2,}/a{href,$&},$&/eg;

        print header,pre"$_

",submit,textarea t,$t,9,70

I've expanded SigWik a little to use css and provide Recent Changes.


        #!/usr/bin/perl

        use CGI':all';path_info=~/\w+/;$_=''.`ls -1 --sort=t|head`.'
'.`grep -l $& *|fmt`.h1($&).

        escapeHTML$t=param(2)||`dd<$&`;open F,">$&";print F$t;s/htt\S+|([A-Z]\w+){2,}/a{href,$&},$&/eg;s/

        /br/eg;print header, "";

        print "$_",submit,textarea 2,$t,9,70

It's 5 lines. It's 371 bytes. Bloatware, I know :) And it fooking rocks!!!!

I "optimized" the css+Recent Changes version just a little bit; instead of "ls -l --sort=t" it should be possible to use "ls -lt" and there was an unnecessary space after "print header". Also I took an advantage of start_html() and stripped out one print statement. These modifications brings the file size to 312 bytes and four lines. -- Janne Pikkarainen


        #!/usr/bin/perl

        use CGI':all';path_info=~/\w+/;$_=''.`ls -1t|head`.'
'.`grep -l $& *|fmt`.h1($&).

        escapeHTML$t=param(2)||`dd<$&`;open F,">$&";print F$t;s/htt\S+|([A-Z]\w+){2,}/a{href,$&},$&/eg;s/

        /br/eg;print header,start_html(-style=>{-src=>'./s.css'})."$_",submit,textarea 2,$t,9,70

When I tried using the code from Janne, I kept getting an empty file named "s" created. I fixed this by changing "./s.css" to "/s.css" Perhaps it's a bug in the version of CGI.pm I'm using. -- Troy Goodson

Wonderful. I'm using the one with css as my web notepad -- MarkusSrank
