hi all!

i have an existing mpe script that knows how to find a
desired o###.out.hpspool file -- by parsing output from
listspf (and that involves a temporary file...) -- and
finally uses the print command to list the contents of the
file to a termina/lsession.

that's fine given the script's typical usage.

i'd like to develop a similar script -- but now it's going
to be run thru the browser as a cgi thing.  i'm struggling
with how to extract this 'o' number from listspf because i'm
not having any luck writing it to a temporary file (or maybe
it's reading it back in....hard to say).  does anyone have
any thoughts?  maybe you've developed a similar solution for
another cgi script?

i should add that it's *not* a $stdlist that i'm after, so i
don't think a jobcnt/jinfo combo will work.

(btw, perl is an option....)         - d
