Parsing bazaar log?

[drael]

Okay, non computer person here. Can you walk me thru the basic steps?
I get the Activeperl program.
Copy the script into ?notepad and rename?
Save in eq directory?
Then how to start it running? Use perl -w yourscriptname.pl at the command prompt before I start eq?
Do I need to stop it? Is there a way to automatically have it start up when I reboot?

Thanks - off to read the activeperl faqs more in depth.

Perl is a "run-time" scripting language.

That means the script is going to run only when you tell it to run.

It won't be runing in the background, parsing your bazaar log. You have to issue the command.

You could just make a shortcut with the command line in it, and set that in your "Startup" group. Then, each time the computer restarts, the script will execute.

Can someone please educate me ....

OK I copy pasted the above pearl script into notepad. Called it bazzarparser.pl
Downloaded the active pearl
Got the two logs and my bazzarparer.pl file in the same folder
When I click on the bazaarparser.pl file A window opens, and I can see the parser work.
then BAM window gone .... no report ..... no new file in the folder.
The data is scrolling too fast for it to be usefull at that speed.

What do I need to do to view the data after its parsed?

Nevermind got it to run.

Just isnt what I am looking for.

I kinda need a Parser / Stripper

I need to know
What items sold in the last say 24 hours
What they sold for
What time they sold
and Who they sold to

And perhaps a total for that 24 hour period.

Anyone got anything like that, or links?
