Parsing bash.org quotes for eggdrop bottalk.tcl

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Here is a script to scrape quotes from bash.org, and create a bottalker data file (source’d tcl script) for our eggdrop. If you want to chat with it, come to #oaktoncc on freenode.

require 'rubygems'
require 'open-uri'
require 'hpricot'
require 'cgi'
 
count = 10
last_page = 407
 
lines = []
 
count.times do |i|
  page = last_page - i
  uri = "http://bash.org/?browse&p=#{page}"
  puts "#{uri}"
  doc = Hpricot(open(uri))
 
  doc.search("//p[@class='qt']").each do |element|
 
    quote = element.inner_html
 
    quote.split(/\n/).each do |line|
      line = CGI::unescapeHTML(line)
      line.gsub!(/<br\s*\/>/, "")
      line.gsub!("&nbsp;", " ")
 
      # Different formats (otherwise ignore):
      # <name> blah
      # (@name:#channel) blah
      # name: blah
      # [name] blah
 
      if line =~ /^\s*<.*?>(.*)/ or line =~ /^\s*\(.*?\)(.*)/ or line =~ /^\s*.+?\:(.*)/ or line =~ /^\s*\[.+?\](.*)/ 
        lines << $1.strip
      end
 
    end
 
  end
end
 
File.open("BotTalker_data_bash_org.tcl", "w") do |f|
  f.puts("# Bot Talker Data file.")
  f.puts("set TalkzStrArray {")    
  lines.each do |line| 
    next if line =~ /[\{\}\\]/ # Ignore lines with {}\ chars since it screws up the tcl source
    line.gsub!(/\[/, "(")
    line.gsub!(/\]/, ")")
    f.puts(" {#{line}}") 
  end
  f.puts("}")
end
