Since you tried... here ya go
Code:
$i = 0;
print "<table BORDER=2>\n";
for (0 .. ($numhits - 1)) {
# LOGIC: If divide last $i by 4 and no remainder, create new row - e.g. $i = 0, 4 (actually the FIFTH record since starting with 0), 8, etc...
if ($i%4 == 0) { print "<tr>"; }
# LOGIC: Put each record in its own cell
print "<td>";
&html_record (&array_to_hash($_, @hits));
print "</td>";
++$i;
# LOGIC: If divide last $i by 4 and no remainder, end row - e.g. $i = 4 (we just incremented $i so can never be 0), 8, etc...
if ($i%4 == 0) { print "</tr>\n"; }
}
# LOGIC: Do we need to handle "odd" number of records? If divide last $i and remainder of 1 => create 3 (4-1) blank cells
if ($i%4 ==1) { print "<td COLSPAN=3></td></tr>\n"; }
# LOGIC: Do we need to handle "odd" number of records? If divide last $i and remainder of 2 => create 2 (4-2) blank cells
elsif ($i%4 ==2) { print "<td COLSPAN=2></td></tr>\n"; }
# LOGIC: Do we need to handle "odd" number of records? If divide last $i and remainder of 3 => create 1 (4-3) blank cell
elsif ($i%4 ==3) { print "<td></td></tr>\n"; }
print "</table>";
With this code and comments, hopefully anybody can adapt it to tables of N columns...
