Body
I am just a beginner and learning and trying to implement bunch of things at this moment. I am trying to get the text from online PDF files. I have a code that is working to download a single file: <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use POSIX 'strftime'; use LWP::Simple; my $url = 'http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CREC-2011-01-26/pdf/'; my $file = 'CREC-2011-01-26.pdf', localtime; getstore( "$url/$file", $file ); </code></pre> I am wondering if there is a way to modify the date: say, change date to 2011-01-25 in the comment line and extract the files all for the one year period? Also, is there a way to just get the text from the online source without downloading the files. I appreciate it!

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
