[OT] sunrise sunset data via rebol ?

 [1/3] from: jason::cunliffe::verizon::net at: 12-Feb-2004 17:42


Hi Does anyone know any web service which you can access via Rebol to return raw data for sunrise, sunset etc. For example: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.html But I don't want html, just some params I can set and get via rebol [as Vanilla dynascript]. Thanks - Jason

hi Jason nope, don't know you could either post and screen scrape a page such as the one in your example or write your own sunrise function in rebol. I would not mind writing it but cannot take the time, well ... for at least a month. here is the math to write your own http://www.srrb.noaa.gov/highlights/sunrise/solareqns.PDF http://xoomer.virgilio.it/vtomezzo/sunriset/formulas/index.html example javascript calculators here: http://www.srrb.noaa.gov/highlights/sunrise/calcdetails.html httpp://www.srrb.noaa.gov/highlights/sunrise/sunrise.html someone translated the above to excell (vba) http://users.vei.net/pelican/sunrise.zip On Thu, 12 Feb 2004, Jason Cunliffe wrote:

Thanks Tom.. Great links. I'll probably just translate the javascript one into Flash and Rebol. screen scrape is such a great phrase :-) - Jason
