Category talk:HacDC Info

The following lightly commented, poorly structured bash/perl script downloads all the pages under http://wiki.hacdc.org/index.php/Category:Meeting_Minutes and greps through them for mentions of bylaws, standing, and rule, helpful if you want to search through old meeting minutes. Can be modified for other purposes. It sucks but it probably works for its intended purpose. Requires the HTML::LinkExtractor perl module and elinks or w3m.

   #!/bin/bash

   path="/tmp/hacdcminutes"

   get_links() {
       perl -E ' 
           use HTML::LinkExtractor;
           use Data::Dumper;

           local $/;
           my $input = <STDIN>;
           #chomp( $input );
           my $LX = new HTML::LinkExtractor();
           $LX->strip(1);

           $LX->parse(\$input);

           my @links = @{$LX->links}; 

           foreach my $link ( @links ){
               $count++;
               last if ($link->{"href"} =~ ".*wiki.hacdc.org/index.php.title.Category.Meeting_Minutes.oldid.6639");
               if ( ($link->{"href"} =~ /.*index.php.*/) && !($link->{"_TEXT"} =~ "/^\s*$/")){
                   my $href = $link->{"href"};
                   $href =~ s/.*http/http/; 
                   print "$href \n"; # > page.$count \n";
               }
           }
           __END__
       '
