your way didn't completly work, but thanks you got me where I needed =]

Code:

regexp {(.*?)
} $data - week putserv "PRIVMSG $c :$week" regexp {(.*?)
} $data - data foreach tr [regexp -all -inline {.*?} $data] {   regexp {.*?(.+?).*?(.+?).*?(.+?)} $tr - artist title type   putserv "PRIVMSG $c :$artist - $title ($type)" }http::cleanup $data}

Code:

# your headerregexp {(.*?)
} $data - weekputserv "PRIVMSG $c :$week"# slim our html down to just that one weekregexp {(.*?)
} data - $data# parse as usualforeach tr [regexp -all -inline {.*?} $data] {  regexp {.*?(.+?).*?(.+?).*?(.+?)} $data - artist title type  putserv "PRIVMSG $c :$artist - $title ($type)"}

edit: corrected obvious mistake... future glances can see this as correct now.

that works great, but what I was trying to figure out is how to make it only paste the first weeks information, it keeps going until it runs out of songs, when I want it to stop after it reaches the first

Code:

regexp {.*?(.*?).*?(.*?).*?(.*?)} $data - artist title type

ended up being the code thanks to you rosc2112...

but I can't come up with a good way to keep grabbing more songs until I get to

this is how the page is laid out.

Code:

BandSongType* #Artist* #Title* #Type* #Artist* #Title* #Type “CrushCrushCrush” as performed by Paramore courtesy of Warner Music Group
Hayley Williams and Josh Farro
2007 WB Music Corp. (Ascap), But Father, I Just Want To Sing Music (ASCAP), FBR Music (ASCAP) And Josh's Music (ASCAP) All rights reserved.  Used by permission* #Artist* #Title* #Type “Beethoven’s C***” as performed by Serjical Strike courtesy of Warner Music Group
Serj Tankian
2007 Stunning Suppository Sounds (BMI)All Rights Administered By Warner Tamerlane Publishing Corp.
All rights reserved.  Used by permission

the *'s are what I want, the problem is this page is updated each week, and the format will stay the same, but the amount of songs wont. so idk what to do

Try this, as one line:

Code:

regexp {.*?(.*?)} $data - artist

Newlines are just another char in regexp. And, the tcl parser isn't going to work properly if you have newlines in the middle of a regexp (unless perhaps if you escape them so the parser knows to continue reading the next line as part of the previous.)

its hard:

Code:

regexp {(.*?)
} $data - weekputserv "PRIVMSG $c :$week" regexp {        (.+?)} $data - artist    putserv "PRIVMSG $c :$artist"http::cleanup $data

this is easier than I thought-

so far Ive been able to grab the week via:

Code:

regexp {(.*?)
} $data - week

now I just have to figure out how to make it read the other info.

having trouble getting the artist / song / type

if someone can help me

but I couldn't find anywhere how to easily open a connecting to a website and parse the information.
Are you kidding?

You mean, out of all the hundreds of web-parsing script topics here, and all the web-parsing scripts in the archive, you couldn't find one example of how to grab/parse a website?

sorry I guess I didn't look aroung very much. I'm dumb.

I think it would be cool just to have the current week, once I figured out how to do that maybe in the future I would write something to be like Last 3 Weeks Downloaded Content!

Do you want all the weeks, or just the latest?
