What I would like to do: get the text headline from the top post on http://reddit.com/r/worldnews and output it to a webpage of mine that will only have that text on it.
In the end, I would like to grab the text from that webpage that I made using AppleScript cURL and output it.
I am making a script that when I click the button it will tell me the top post.
edit If you can think about any way, I would like to do the same thing, but for Facebook notifications.
edit I have PHP grabbing the site and outputting here: http://colejohnsoncreative.com/personal/ai/worldnews.php This is the code that I am using:
<?php
// Get a file into an array. In this example we'll go through HTTP to get
// the HTML source of a URL.
$lines = file('http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews');
// Loop through our array, show HTML source as HTML source; and line numbers too.
foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) {
echo "Line #<b>{$line_num}</b> : " . htmlspecialchars($line) . "<br />
";
}
// Another example, let's get a web page into a string. See also file_get_contents().
$html = implode('', file('http://www.example.com/'));
// Using the optional flags parameter since PHP 5
$trimmed = file('somefile.txt', FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES | FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES);
?>
So I get all of the site's code to output, but all I need for the project is
<a class="title " href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2219477/Cannabis-factory-couple-gave-400-000-drug-dealing-fortune-poor-Kenyans-jailed-years.html" >British couple who spent most of the money they made from canabis growing on paying for life changing operations and schooling for people in a poor Kenyan village gets sent to prison for 3 years.</a>
and everything else I need to throw away, how can I do that?
