    This is for personal use, for now. by carthax2005-03-08 06:56:56
      just pointing out the obvious. by Cokish2005-03-08 07:13:35
        I tried Wget, but it apparently doesn't like ASP by carthax2005-03-08 07:19:22
          Also: try 'Save Page As' in firefox by Cokish2005-03-08 07:46:01
            I would need to install Firefox. :-) by carthax2005-03-08 07:47:15
              And it doesn't work but for one page... by carthax2005-03-08 08:12:56
                wget is a very raw interface. by Cokish2005-03-08 08:38:15
                  Uhhh.... What language is that? by carthax2005-03-08 08:42:58
                    Never mind by Cokish2005-03-08 08:58:22
                      VB - I wrote a program a while back to strip stuff by carthax2005-03-08 09:02:51
                        And looking for that program, I'm wondering if it by carthax2005-03-08 09:07:12
                          Rewriting is fun. Your code will imprvoe by Cokish2006-11-19 12:55:59
                            Almost, but not quite, what I wanted by carthax2005-03-08 10:59:12
                              Ah. That would require some scripting by Cokish2005-03-08 11:24:21
                                I'll set up a VB program that writes them all out by carthax2005-03-08 11:41:51
                                Here is my script by Cokish 2005-03-08 12:02:57
#!/bin/bash

for i in `cat list` ; do
   fname=`echo $i | sed -e "s/[^_a-zA-Z0-9]//g" `
   echo "card: $i >> $fname "
   wget "http://gatherer.wizards.com/gathererlookup.asp?$i" -O $fname.out
done

It still need a 'list' file.
Here is a part of it: 
@set=FourthEdition&name=abomination
@set=Legends&name=abomination
@set=Weatherlight&name=aboroth
It is basically the last part of the URL.
My list seems incomplete but I could mail it to you ?

If REALLY in problems, mail me at the email in my diary.

I'll stop now (will read posts later/tommorrow)

                                leave out '@'. For some reason it worked anyway by Cokish2005-03-08 12:14:25
