"Thanks for the update, works for me now "

eh? how did you get the file to open? my download of weather3.5.9-a.tcl.gz says the archive is either of unknown format or damaged and my other saved rar files open up perfect in WinRAR client.
Maybe you would care to e mail me the file seeing as though you managed to open it - many thanks

redtube, it gives me that same error, BUT what I do is, double click the file, and select to open with 'WordPad' it then opens and shows the source, I Copy it, then paste it in my old tcl file and save.

Cache.

nope wont open in wordpad - i have win98 if thats causing that problem cause i dont have a choice to open a file into
i can slide the file across to notepad (cant into wordpad) and read it that way but its not wrapped properly and it shows up other spacing characters that would alter the code and cause any cut & paste to fail - can u possibly mail it to me ta?

The archive is fine, you just need a program that handles the archive type gzip.

Windows XP will open the file due to the integration of ZipMagic used to treat zip files as folders.

I don't use Windows, my desktop computer runs BSD, so my packaging is done with BSD and GNU operating systems in mind.

There are several freeware archive programs out that handle gzip, my preference for win32 systems is IZarc.

One could install Winace as it has no problems with .gz files let alone any other archives.

[DragnLord]

I wasn't aware that winace was freeware now

Another trick I do on win xp is click rename and delete .gz part and it auto unzips lol.

Just a THANK YOU to Dragonlord for bringing this script back to life and keeping it fixed. Wunderground is such a pain in the arse. I made a replica script for ircII which used lynx -dump, so there was no html to contend with, this has to be a real pain to keep updating every time wunderground decides to change their pages.

[rosc2112]

Ohh, I just noticed, the script chokes on special chars passed to it, so I'd like to ask if this can be fixed?

Eg, .wz {foo
- Tcl error [msg_wz]: can't read "localtime": no such variable
Tcl error [msg_wz]: unmatched open brace in list


Thanks again

[DragnLord]

Since no city, country, nor any zip code, contain any special characters; the short answer here is "maybe when the next version comes out".

It in no way prevents the script from working with an intelligent request.

Code: Select all

Tcl error [pub_wz_forecast]: can't read "fcast(10)": no such element in array

It says this in the party line when I do .wzf (forecast)
Still, displays all forecast properly with the exception of a first blank line...

Awesome script by the way

It does that for non-USA forecasts during the evenings and nights. It does not prevent the script from working so it has a rather low priority level.

You can use console flags to not show those while not debugging scripts.
