This technically an OS/2 command script (.CMD):              ===       @echo off       rem Last modified 7 November 2023       d:       cd\temp       links -dump -codepage cp437 "http://www.arrl.org/arrlletter?issue=current" >       letter       sed -i '1,42d' letter       sed -i '/Plain-Text/,$d' letter       sed -i 's/Ad//g' letter       sendmsgp $d:\pb\msgs\fiham "Sean Dennis",1:18/200 -s"Weekly ARRL Letter" <       d:\temp\letter       sendmsgp $d:\pb\msgs\m_ham "Sean Dennis",618:618/10 -s"Weekly ARRL Letter" <       d:\temp\letter       rm -f ./letter       ===              So I'll explain what's going on.              I use the Links web browser to scrape the web page to a CP437-encoded text       file.              First call to 'sed' deletes lies 1-42 from the top of the file.              Second call to 'sed' searches for the line that has 'Plain-Text' in it,       deletes that line and the rest of the lines below that line down to the end of       the file.              Third call to 'sed' searches for the word 'Ad' in the document and deletes       them.              The two 'sendmsgp' lines call a program I use to write messages into my Squish       message bases. The first line posts it here and the second posts it to       MIN_HAM in Micronet.              I hope I made it easy to understand.              I have all sorts of scripts I've written from getting my hourly weather to       pulling down the space weather advisories. Nothing fancy but quite useful.              'sed' is available for several operating systems to include Windows.              -- Sean              --- FleetStreet 1.27.1        * Origin: Outpost BBS Local Console * bbs.outpostbbs.net:10323 (1:18/200)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 18/200 90/1 105/81 106/201 123/131 129/305 153/7715       SEEN-BY: 218/700 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113 200 206 307 312 317       SEEN-BY: 229/400 426 428 470 664 700 266/512 282/1038 291/111 292/854       SEEN-BY: 305/3 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 18/200 229/426           |
