Message   Sean Dennis    All   Another OS/2 script   August 4, 2019
 2:37 PM *  

Hello All,

This script pulls down the HTML-formatted "ARRL Letter" (a newsletter from the 
American Radio Relay League published every Friday), converts it to text, and 
using sed, will strip any extra text. This one isn't fully finished to post on 
the BBS quite yet but I also post this to the Fidonet HAM echo of which I am 
the moderator.

ArcaOS has the Linux stuff built-in but you can get sed for pretty much any 
other OS also from what I've seen.  Again, you'll need Links (not Lynx) for 
this.

@echo off
d:
cd\temp
links -dump -codepage cp437 "http://www.arrl.org/arrlletter?issue=current&... > 
letter
rem Remove extra lines from the top
sed -i '1,42d' letter
rem Remove extra lines to remove extra text at the top
sed -i '4,8d' letter
rem Remove line "www.arrl.org" and everything else to EOF
sed -i '/www.arrl.org/,$d' letter
rem Remove the word "Ad" in entire document
sed -i 's/Ad//g' letter

Later,
Sean
