If you like writing shell scripts to do little jobs like this (and there's plenty of ways to leverage this kind of power), you might be interested in Perl's LWP module. [As opposed to c/sh,] Perl lets you easily parse the result, too, if you know what to look for. (There's a module called HTML::TokeParser if I'm not mistaken that makes it easy to parse HTML, better than regexes, but I haven't used it yet.) There is a great intro on oreillynet.com (it is really a plug for the new LWP book, but the intro is pretty informative): http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/08/20/perlandlwp.html?page=1 Erik Erik -- Erik Price email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
