DragnLord's weather script

[bluzman]

@stock : Thank you very much. That works perfectly!

[streamish]

When I comment out the following code, the script works fine, but it does not print a forecast.

Code: Select all

                regexp {<div class=\"b\">(.*?)</div>(.*?)</td>} $cast match fwhen($f) fwhat($f) 
#               regsub -all {<([^<])*>} $fwhat($f) {} fwhat($f) 
#               regsub -all {[[:cntrl:]]} $fwhat($f) {} fwhat($f) 
#               regsub { » ZIP Code Detail} $fwhat($f) {} fwhat($f) 
#               set fcast($f) "\002$fwhen($f):\002 $fwhat($f)"

However, if I uncomment the lines I get the following errors:

[14:37:27] Tcl error [pub_wz_forecast]: can't read "fwhat(2)": no such element in array

There are no errors in the tcl, and I have no idea what this may be. Can someone please help me out with this.

Against my better judgement, (mainly because this script is written horrendously and makes my eyes sore) I'll offer you some help.

Code: Select all

                regexp {<div class="b">(.*?)</div>.*?<div>(.*?)</div>} $cast match fwhen($f) fwhat($f)
                regsub -all {<([^<])*>} $fwhat($f) {} fwhat($f)
                regsub -all {[[:cntrl:]]} $fwhat($f) {} fwhat($f)
                regsub { » ZIP Code Detail} $fwhat($f) {} fwhat($f)
                set fcast($f) "\002$fwhen($f):\002 $fwhat($f)"

Your section of code you've shown needs to resemble what I've done above.

Also... Saw this irony on IRC (EFNet/#eggtcl) and seems to relate directly to this exact post....

<simple> stream, without knowing the contents of $forecast, it means little...
<stream> i'd kinda assume it wouldnt matter
<stream> since the error itself is fwhat
<stream> and the only instances of fwhat/fwhen is in that section
<+@thommey> you kinda assume wrong
<stream> yea?
<simple> which is populated via $cast, which is from $forecast
<+@thommey> regexp sets fwhat(2) if and only if it matches on $cast which is in turn based on $forecast
<+@thommey> and obviously, this code depends on it matching
<stream> i see
<simple> you probably also want to "set f 1" each iteration of $cast too
<+@thommey> it's the usual "web scraping fail"
<simple> but i might be wrong about that
<+@thommey> as soon as a website changes its layout, all scripts stop working
<+@thommey> and it's not trivial to fix them
<stream> lemme see if i can find it
<+@thommey> it's almost as complicated as writing them in the first place
<stream> regexp {<div class="tm10 bm15">(.*?)</tbody>} $html match forecast
<stream> would that be it?
<+@thommey> how would I know
<+@thommey> I don't have the website source in front of me, knowing what you want to extract
<stream> ok nigger
quits: stream (stream@wargam.es) (Quit: leaving)
<+@thommey> what the hell
<+@thommey> and once again, I was way too friendly
<Razorback> sounds like gimmie what I want and I'll be nice or else attitude... :/
<+@thommey> but I never said I wouldn't give him what he wants
<+@thommey> I just told him that I need to see the website source
<+@thommey> at least I was trying to.. ;)
<+@thommey> that seems to be a severe insult in his country
<+@thommey> to ask for more information

If you are "stream" from the above quote. You need to watch your f-ing mouth. Ask for help, and don't think anybody will know it's you here. Kinda obvious it is.... lame

[Trixar_za]

That's normally the point where I stop helping them at all... Anyway, using the classic interface of wunderground with prior mentioned fix tends to fix it. It's just a simple case of changing www to classic - simpler than that you just can't get.

When using Weather v4.2.6 by DragnLord i get this error when doing the .wz command


Tcl error [pub_wz]: can't read "citychk": no such variable

When using Weather v4.2.6 by DragnLord i get this error when doing the .wz command


Tcl error [pub_wz]: can't read "citychk": no such variable

I too am now getting that message when using a Canadian city. For example if I use .wz vancover ca I used to get the report but now only get the error message.

Any ideas?

[aa]

Judging by the lack of responses one would assume that this script is dead in the water.

Is there another script that offers the same functionality as this one. I liked the 5 day forecast so was hoping for something that works similar.

[spithash]

yes there is, incith-weather is what I use. there's also forecast included.

[Suntop]

I get this error when I try to use it:

Code: Select all

<^Hawk^> [14:21] Tcl error [pub_wz]: can't read "citychk": no such variable

Anyone know how to fix this?

I tried to add a:

Code: Select all

set citychk "0"

at the beginning, but then i get this instead:

Code: Select all

«14:32:27» <@Suntop> .wz
«14:32:32» -^Hawk^- Sorry, oslo is not listed, check http://classic.wunderground.com/global/NO.html for a city thats close.

And I know Oslo is listed, cause it used to work..
Any ideas is very welcome

Yeah, and I made all the changes everyone suggested here..still get this error..

[Suntop]

Yeah, and btw, I tried incith-weather too, but it has errors as well...

I'm unsure where to find the "errors" you talk about, because...the current version of Incith-weather is not found in the TCL Archive. It is found by clicking here. This is the version shown in use above.

[Vasago]

..

Where would one go to keep updated on this incith-weather script?

[shadrach]

..

Insert a comma between location and country eg .wz oslo, no. Sudden requirement. Don't know why.

[goalie204]

script still works fine for me, but super slow to reply from bot, not sure why all of a sudden?

Tcl error [pub_wz]: can't read "localdate": no such variable


Not sure what this means if someone can help that'd be great.
