how to collect the entry in multiple text boxes
I am automating a tool. The problem i am facing is that the number of text boxes to receive data is not fixed.
If it was fixed i know i have to use say x varibles to collect data.
ex i have a text file which has 3 lines ( i mean data.) This means i have to have 3 entry widgets and 3 corresponding variables to hold the entries. But the contents of the text file is not fixed. It may contain 3 lines or 30 lines or 300 lines. i am stuck at this point. could some one suggest to solve this problem

This is the sort of thing that lists and loops were invented for.
Although you didn't say so, I'll assume that you're processing a CGI form. And of course, you'll be using the CGI module, correct?
Right, so it's easy. You just simply fetch a list of all keywords passed to your script, and then iterate through the list using a for or foreach loop.
Other than that, if you want some more specific help - post the code that's giving you problems and I'm sure somebody will take a look at it.
Cheers,
Darren :)
