General Support - help with script file w1av - 14.06.2006, 02:33 Uhr Titel: help with script file
Hello. I have 2 very simple bash files. One gives you the 10 day forecast and the other gives you the current movie listings locally. Here are the 2 1-line scripts:
#!/bin/bash
## Check movies at Stonington Theater
clear
links -dump "http://movies.yahoo.com/showtimes/?z=02891#T1/print" |more
#!/bin/bash
##Weather report for westerly
clear
links -dump "http://www.weather.com/weather/print/02891"
These run in the Konsole and use the text browser "links" to display the data. The movie script lists movies for not one but about 6 or 7 local theaters. There is no way to have it display shows at just one theater cause they are all grouped together on the website. I would like to be able to get the script to find a line of text, and COLOR IT so I can spot it right away without having to scroll thru the list. I am not too clear on how to get the Konsole to display colors. I only need 1 row of text colored (any color). Is this possible? Is there some other code I can insert in the script I made to do this? If I can do this then I can play around with the weather script I made....any ideas???????

on the console coloring is done with ESC-seq.

@w1av:
wouldn't it be easier to pipe links' output to grep instead thus filtering your theatre of choice? Maybe using one of the context options (cf. "man grep")

Well I have been closely reading the manpage for GREP but still cannot come up with a solution! I would like to be able to use GREP but its a little daunting.

I would like to be able to do this cause it is a much faster way to get info real quickly without waiting for web pages to load, or even waiting for browser to open. And I would be able to view exactly what I want! I read about greps ability to find a "pattern" in a body of text. The text I am trying to highlight on screen when links sends it, changes often when the movie theater changes its movie listings. The only reference point I have is at the beginning of each theater's listings, is the ADDRESS of the theater. So I am trying to use that address as a reference to start cause thats something that doesnt change, like movie titles over time.
So when I run the script, when text appears I just look for the theaters address (the one I go to). I know this may sound stupid but I think it's a good way to learn some ofthe command line stuff I want to know.
When I need quick info like weather and movie listings, its quicker to use the Konsole with Links. The only major drawback is I cannot access my email (to send) with Links. It doesnt support ssl something or other....So I have been using PINE and its much faster than waiting for web based email. Anyway any more help would be appreciated!....thanks schnorrer - 19.06.2006, 19:32 Uhr Titel: grep help?
normaly use:
grep -f 'things to find' infile.
or
cat /filelocation/file | grep -f word | next program in row to handle the output fom grep
hope this 2 examples will help you a bit. an pleas look at the diff how to handle one word or the whole pattern.
