Using regex to filter content

brent · 07-22-2005, 12:39 AM

This is GOT to be somewhere that I'm too stupid to find - a simple example would be loverly...

My geek-level is Mechanical Engineer. I'm shit-hot at building an 80 component 3d CAD model of a 250 tonne rotary press tool including all the CNC machining profiles and EDMed surfaces... but not very clever at scripting.

How do I convince Sunrise to run a regex on the local weather

http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDV10450.txt

so that it only returns everything afer the word Forecast?

I think it's something to do with anchor.link and something to do with var regexp = but that's as far as I've got.

Unfortunately, you can't. It's not possible to filter the actual content (i.e. the text itself) of a page through scripting. Scripting can only be used to filter and rewrite llinks, using Regular Expressions for matching link URLs.

Try using Sitescooper. It was designed for exactly this purpose (and supports quite a few other file formats, including Plucker).

hacker beat me to the punch. I can vouch that Sitescooper does exactly what you need. It'll even export formatted html so that you can then use any Palm encoder of your choice (Plucker, iSilo, etc...)
