Hello again everybody,
I apologize for asking another question so soon, but it just seems to be one thing after another with Go lately.
I have a working web page scraper (thanks to everybody's help) that grabs all the info I want from this wiki page: http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/MH4U:_Item_List
It then displays everything I want, no hiccups. However, when I go to write to a .txt file I get an error stating: "0 write mh4u.txt: The handle is invalid"
Here is my current code for reference:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"github.com/PuerkitoBio/goquery"
"os"
"io"
)
func main() {
filename := "mh4u.txt"
file, err := os.Create(filename)
if err!= nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
doc, err := goquery.NewDocument("http://www.ign.com/wikis/monster-hunter-4/Items")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
doc.Find("tbody").Each(func(i int, s *goquery.Selection) {
s.Find("td").Each(func(j int, s2 *goquery.Selection) {
if s3 := s2.Find("img"); s3 != nil && s3.Length() > 0 {
return
}
fmt.Printf(s2.Text())
n, err := io.WriteString(file, s2.Text())
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(n, err)
}
})
file.Close()
})
}
Testing this code with other web sites leads me to believe that there is maybe some hidden characters that is giving the writer some issues, but that's the only thing I can guess.
Thanks so much for any suggestions/tips/solutions you can offer!
