Re: gEDA-user: fyi: program to enter spreadsheet contents into a Digi-Key web-order
DJ, Wow, i *really* wish that I had known that earlier. No need for some script if you can just upload the file directly... indeed, i should have guessed that such functionality existed! I guess all is not lost, though, as now we have some way of programmatically interacting with the digikey website. maybe in the future I'll use it to sort available parts by *price*. (e.g. something to automate selection of surface mount resistors and capacitors, which i find tedious). Maybe even with a UI or something. thanks, Tim On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 6:05 PM, DJ Delorie d...@delorie.com wrote: You know, you can just upload a CSV spreadsheet to Digikey's master ordering module.

gEDA-user: fyi: program to enter spreadsheet contents into a Digi-Key web-order
Hi All, I wrote this script yesterday as I needed to enter ~200 parts into Digikey, and didn't want to make any mistakes. It reads in a CSV file, establishes a TCP connection with the Digikey ordering web server, and repeatedly POSTs the quantities in your spreadsheet onto the active server pages. If the minimum quantities are not met for any of your items, it will first guess the next multiple of 10, and if that does not work, it will ask you for the quantity. Digikey's webserver occasionally balks under the torrent of POST and GETs, in which case you'll have to kill the script, start a new web order, and try again. hope this is useful to someone other than myself.
