grabbing text or source from a website
|
I have looked into several topics, but didn't find any answer to this.
how would I look into a website, copy everything it shows, and then send it to the mud?
I did find something about QuoteDB, but that script didn't seem to work, not even the example.
any help would be appreciated |

I think there was a script in the Finished Scripts forum that sent a query to a web page and pulled the results into zMud. I seem to remember it being something about mud connector. I also think there was one that used babelfish to do translations. You can try hunting for them to see a starting point for doing it.

hmm, that script seems pretty complex, and I don't know anything about VBScript either, but I'll try working on it

ok, I managed to get it to work, but now I have another problem.
I want to change the url in tmc.zmud.vbs, how would I get zmud to change it? |

ok, I'm done, I still need to find a way to do that cateory changer.
this is for QuoteDB
| Code: |
#CLASS {Vote_Scripts}
#ALIAS tmc {#file 1 tmc.zmud.txt;#gag;#era 1;#gag;#close 1;#gag;#file 1 tmc.zmud.txt;#gag;#close 1;#gag;#launch {wscript.exe tmc.zmud.vbs};#wait 3000;#file 1 tmc.zmud.txt;#gag;#var quote %read( 1);#say @quote;#wait 500;say '@quoteend' -@authorquote}
#TRIGGER {document.write*'(*)<br>*;document.write*'More quotes from <a href=http://www.quotedb.com/authors/(*)>*</a>'*;} {#var quoteend "%1";#var authorquote "%2";#var authorquote %replace( @authorquote, "-", " ")}
#CLASS 0 |
and the VBscript.
| Code: |
strHTML = ""
strTEXT = ""
strLINE = ""
Set objApp = CreateObject("Zmud.Application")
Set objSess = objApp.CurrentSession
Sub GetTopTwenty
Set objHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
objHTTP.Open "GET", "http://www.quotedb.com/quote/quote.php?action=random_quote", "FALSE"
objHTTP.Send
strHTML = objHTTP.ResponseText
Set objHTTP = Nothing
End Sub
Sub RecordTopTwenty
Set objFile = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFile.FileExists("tmc.zmud.txt") Then
Set objRead = objFile.OpenTextFile("tmc.zmud.txt")
Do Until objRead.AtEndOfStream
strLINE = objRead.ReadLine
Loop
objRead.Close
Set objRead = objFile.OpenTextFile("tmc.zmud.txt")
Do Until objRead.AtEndOfStream
strTEXT = objRead.ReadAll
Loop
objRead.Close
End If
Set objWrite = objFile.CreateTextFile("tmc.zmud.txt", True)
If (strTEXT = "") then
objWrite.Write(strHTML)
Else
If (strHTML = strLINE) then
objWrite.Write(strTEXT)
Else
objWrite.Write(strTEXT & vbCRLF & strHTML)
End If
End If
objWrite.Close
Set objFile = Nothing
End Sub
GetTopTwenty
RecordTopTwenty
Set objSess = Nothing
Set objApp = Nothing |
as you can see, I just took the "mud connector" script and changed it a little bit.
and here's the category changer I made for it.
| Code: |
#CLASS {AddOnScripts|Random Quote} {enable}
#ALIAS pickcategory {#PICK {@categories}}
#ALIAS cg {#var category %1;#echo your option was @category!}
#VAR category {126Computers}
#VAR categories {p:Select a category|o:1|cg 49America|cg 69Anger|cg 96Animals|cg 44Art|cg 40Beauty|cg 50Children|cg 8Comedy|cg 126Computers|cg 38Education|cg 121Emotion|cg 98Envy|cg 80Experience|cg 31Faith|cg 119Fame|cg 86Family|cg 48Fear|cg 77Food|cg 13Freedom|cg 6Friendship|cg 2God|cg 7Government|cg 45Happiness|cg 91Health|cg 117History|cg 66Holidays|cg 115Hope|cg 74Humor|cg 101Inspiration|cg 93Justice|cg 27Leadership|cg 43LifeandDeath|cg 5Love|cg 14Miscellaneous|cg 37Money|cg 11Morality|cg 28Patriotism|cg 62Philosophy|cg 20Politics|cg 109Power|cg 84Pride|cg 29Race|cg 39Reading|cg 60Religion|cg 71Risk|cg 15Science|cg 53Sex|cg 76Sleep|cg 75Sports|cg 9Success|cg 79Talking|cg 73Thinking|cg 51Time|cg 33TruthandLies|cg 64Virtue|cg 32WarandPeace|cg 81Wisdom|cg 34Work|cg 26Writing}
