In need of HTTP parsing TCL - Will pay by PayPal

Post by rvrsl »

I'm currently in need of a fun little TCL script that will display whats on TV and get the information from www.tvtome.com. Ideally it would work something like this:

When a user requests the info by trigger in a public channel (trigger can change, would be configurable), the TCL would then parse the info from http://www.tvtome.com/features/neweps.shtml and display it in a pretty 2 or 3 color output to the channel. The user could issue the trigger for whats on only tonight, or whats on for a specific date. Example of output:

[03:52] [user] · !whatson tonight
[03:52] [tvbot] · TV Tonight for Wednesday April 13
[03:52] [tvbot] · 8:00
[03:52] [tvbot] · [FOX] American Idol
[03:52] [tvbot] · [WB] Smallville
[03:52] [tvbot] · [UPN] America's Next Top Model
[03:52] [tvbot] · [Nickelodeon] All Grown Up
[03:52] [tvbot] · [Discovery] It Takes a Thief (2005)
[03:52] [tvbot] · 8:30
[03:52] [tvbot] · [FOX] The Simple Life
[03:52] [tvbot] · 9:00
[03:52] [tvbot] · [ABC] Alias
[03:52] [tvbot] · [CBS] The King of Queens
[03:52] [tvbot] · [WB] Jack & Bobby
[03:52] [tvbot] · [UPN] Kevin Hill
[03:52] [tvbot] · 9:30
[03:52] [tvbot] · [CBS] Yes, Dear
[03:52] [tvbot] · 10:00
[03:52] [tvbot] · [ABC] Eyes
[03:52] [tvbot] · [CBS] CSI: NY
[03:52] [tvbot] · [NBC] Law & Order
[03:52] [tvbot] · [Comedy Central] South Park
[03:52] [tvbot] · [TLC] While You Were Out
[03:52] [tvbot] · [TV Land] Chasing Farrah

Or if a user wanted to view the shows on April 17th, then they optionally could also do that such as:

[03:52] [user] · !whatson April 17
[03:52] [tvbot] · TV for Saturday April 17

And then of course would display for April 17th. All of the info is there. The dates, the titles it all just needs to be parsed and displayed in a channel in a nice readable format as above.

Please post offers and estimates here on what you feel this script is worth and how long it would take. You can contact me on ICQ at 861876 or at MSN on rvrsl@msn.com if you have any questions. Also, awyeah here on the board should be able to vouch for my legitimacy if you have any doubt.

Well, I'm already using EPGuru which just shows information about a specific show but does parse the info from TVTome. It's quite a complicated script so theres no way I could mod it to do what I need, I just don't know TCL very well. The others are somewhat similar but aren't really what I'm looking for.

Thanks for the post though. :wink:

Just an update on this, I found a great coder. He coded the script within a few days and the transaction has been done. Great little script.

Has anyone yet found a script such as the one being asked about here that parses the information from tvtome.com? If so, please let me know.

I would highly suggest against anyone giving anything to this child. He's deserving of nothing less than a kick in the face. He has the balls to message me on MSN to beg for the script, then about his his 3rd line into the conversation was inquiring about the my finances regarding the amount I agreed to pay the coder for the script. When I said it's no ones business and I'm not interested in selling it, he cried , mumbled something about "not working with assholes" and signed off.

Listen parents, this is why you need to keep closer watch on your children. Add forum.egghelp.org to the NetNanny list. :lol:

Well, that makes two of us so far. One would hope that maybe a moderator could assign all that diatribe to the junk pile? :)
