Hi Graham (and any other kiwi tv watchers out there!)
Noticed a tv script on Garaham's rebsite thought I'd post a quickie one that
does tv1,2,3,4 and prime
from the same site :)
this just formats it into console for easy viewing rather than wading
through crappy flash and java popups :)
REBOL []
;get major channel listings for today
ontv: trim read http://ontv.nzoom.com/schedules/
channels: ["tv1" "tv2" "tv3" "tv4" "prime" "end of"]
ch: 1
parse ontv [
some [
(print join (pick channels ch) " listings for
today^/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" ch: ch + 1)
thru {<TR height="60">^/<TD height="60" bgcolor="#ffffff">^/^/<TABLE
border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">^/<TR height="60">} copy tdata to
</TABLE>^/</TD>^/</TR>
(parse tdata [any [thru "<b>" copy program to "</b>" thru <br> copy
scheduled to "</td>" (print join scheduled [": " program])]])
(print " ")
]
]
halt

Hi James,
I just tried it - looks like nothing on TV today :(

Umm.. I just ran it again.. it seemed to work fine?
got listings for all channels that matched against the website correctly..
did the script give you any errors?
(PS this was in REBOL/View 1.2.1 not Core 2.5 - if that makes a difference?)

Ok. My email client mangled your code allowing it to run,
but not parse correctly :)
It would be nice if these TV guys actually wrapped xml
around their listings to save us all this work ...

Heh - I wrote to tv2 about their annoying website which is very flash
intensive - they said they were working on a html version - that was 6
months ago.. :)
Interestingly enough I found another way to get easy tv2 html listings
involving a "hidden" tvone feature:
try: http://tvone.nzoom.com/schedule/tvone.html?ch=default_two
the format is: ch=[weekday | default]_[channel]
only channel [one] and [two] are currently supported I think..

Perhaps they're wondering how to get flash working for wap
browsers first :)

That's the one I use for my online rebol script at
http://209.207.225.184/tv/index.html
( it should be http://www.compkarori.com ... again once I
pay my domain name fees again :( )

Hmm.. would anyone be interested in free hosting for their rebol sites? I
could have a word to our server admins about opening up a gig or so for
users..?

Hi James,

I'm sure some people would, though there was a company (can't remember who
on the list was the contact) that was going to set up a similar thing.
