Hello all,

I am totally new to scrapy.  I have tried writing spiders but to little avail.  
I finally figured out how to decently get the general data that I want.  I 
could sed and awk until I get it right, but I have seen the power of scrapy. I 
would like to get this right.  The data fields that I want are full url of the 
links, date information, and location.  Here is what I have so far:
#####My Bash script
#!/bin/bash
scrapy shell https://www.24hoursoflemons.com -c 
"hxs.select('//a[contains(@href, \"events-results\")]').extract()" | sed -n 
"/\[/,/\]/p" > output.txt


#####The output of my bash script
