Here a little script that uses curl to download the latest documentation from Sourceforge and keeps
the date and time of the files locally:
/*
---rgf, 2022-07-02: get downloadable doc files and download them
here the relevant portions of the download URLs that the server returns:
...
<th scope="row" headers="files_name_h"><a
href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/oorexx-docs/5.0.0beta/readme.pdf/download"; title="Click to
download readme.pdf">
<th scope="row" headers="files_name_h"><a
href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/oorexx-docs/5.0.0beta/ReadMe.txt/download"; title="Click to
download ReadMe.txt">
...
--
*/
say "getting and parsing download URLs ..."
url="https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/oorexx-docs/5.0.0beta/";
cmd="curl --silent --list-only" url
say "cmd:" pp(cmd)
outArr=.array~new
address system cmd with output using (outArr)
data=outArr~makeString
resArr=.array~new
do counter c while data<>""
-- as of 2022-07-02:
parse var data '"files_name_h"><a href="' url '/download" title' data
if url<>"" then resArr~append(url)
else leave
say "#" c~right(2)":" pp(url)
end
say
say "downloading ..."
do counter c item over resArr
-- cmd="wget --no-check-certificate" item
cmd="curl --silent --remote-time -L -O" item
say "#" c~right(2)":" pp(cmd) "..."
address system cmd with error using (.array~new)
end
say "done"
::routine pp
return "["arg(1)"]"
This script replaces an older one that used "wget". Using "curl" instead as it is now available on
all major operating systems.
