download website

[Syntax]

someone who can help me make a script thats downloads a website to a file and updates it every 2 min

i would be very gratefull for any help that anyone can give me.

Well to download is easy, you can go

catch {exec fetch http://whatever.com/file.txt}

but from the sounds of things, you meant upload a file every 2 mins with the changes, that I'm not sure of.

[GodOfSuicide]

catch {exec fetch http://whatever.com/file.txt}

if you choose to exec then do a wget, it's more common i'd say

Well i kinda solved it

Code: Select all

bind time - "02 00 00 00 2003" test
proc getnews {  minute hour day month year } { 
exec lynx -dump http://domain/index.html > file.txt
}

now i just got to parse the text

any good ways of doing this?

the timer dossn't quite work and if i try to exec the proc getnews i get that minute dossn't have a value.

anyone who can help me?

running eggdrop v1.6.15
Tcl version: 8.3.3 (header version 8.3.3)

Hope for a quick reply =)

To do the update every 2 minutes, your bind time will look like this

bind time - "02 * * * *" test

To do the update every 2 minutes, your bind time will look like this

bind time - "02 * * * *" test

Actually, that would be every 2 minutes past the hour, not every 2 minutes.

[Darkj]

Oh duh my bad, i guess you'd have to do something like

bind time - "?0 * * * *" test
bind time - "?2 * * * *" test
bind time - "?4 * * * *" test
bind time - "?6 * * * *" test
bind time - "?8 * * * *" test

i think a timer would be better here, but I don't really know those

Easier would be to bind to time * and do a modulous or set a flag to alternate each time the bind is triggered.

You are speaking japanese now or something?

i don't understand anything u just wrote..

Here it is in tcl (the modulous way)

Code: Select all

bind time - * theProc
proc theProc {min args} {
	if {[expr {[format %g $min]%2}]} {return}
	# insert some code here
}
