SSI include line from text-file?

@ngelot · 05-11-2005, 03:29 AM

I'm running an apache 1.3 server with the SSI-function enabled.

I run (in my HTML-code) ssi like this:

Code:

<!--#include virtual="menu.txt"-->

How do I get it to print out a single line in a file?

Something like:

Code:

<!--#include virtual="menu.txt#line2"-->

So that only line 2 in menu.txt are included on the page?

Can I do this with SSI? Do I need a script (cgi/perl)?

Thanks!

I've tried this:

Code:

<!--#exec cmd="grep name  /var/www/text.txt" -->

and the output is:

Code:

name My Name

How can I skip the "name" bit, so that output of the grep-cmd is only:

Code:

My name

No prob!

sed is the greatest utility I've learned in linux...as far as file editing/manipulation goes...
