What The Fuck Should I Watch Tonight?

This is a quick socket snippet to the site http://!@#$.com, a site that offers a php script that randomly picks a movie and generates a Netflix link for you, along with a witty message.

Usage: !watch
(01:26:58 pm) <~hxck> !watch
(01:26:59 pm) <~Victoria> I'd say watch paint dry, but that wouldn't be helpful. How about some !@#$: Highlander: Endgame (2000) :: http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Highlander_Endgame/60001865

Enjoy!

on $*:TEXT:/^!watch$/Si:#: {

  sockopen wtfw !@#$.com 80

  sockmark wtfw msg #

}



on *:SOCKOPEN:wtfw: {

  sockwrite -n $sockname GET /get_movie.php HTTP/1.1

  sockwrite -n $sockname Host: !@#$.com

  sockwrite -n $sockname Connection: close

  sockwrite -n $sockname $crlf

}



on *:SOCKREAD:wtfw: {

  if ($sockerr) { $sock(wtfw).mark Socket Error: $sock(wtfw).wsmsg }

  var %wtfwtemp

  sockread %wtfwtemp



  if (<p id="intro" isin %wtfwtemp) { set %wtfwline $remove($gettok(%wtfwtemp,3-,32),class="cufon">,</p>,<br />) }

  if (<h1 class=" isin %wtfwtemp) {

    set %wtfwlink $replace($remove(%wtfwtemp,$left(%wtfwtemp,27),$right(%wtfwtemp,9)),">,$chr(32))

    tokenize 32 %wtfwlink

  }

}



on *:SOCKCLOSE:wtfw: {

  $sock(wtfw).mark %wtfwline $+ : $gettok(%wtfwlink,2-,32) :: $gettok(%wtfwlink,1,32)

}

This is great, but sometimes the wording returns broken HTML:

I'd say watch paint dry, but that <br />wouldn't be helpful. How about some !@#$:

Didn't that last movie you watch <br />!@#$ suck? Try this:

I know it ain't easy, but there are times we have to lose some, gain some.

Apologies, hxck, for kidnapping your thread for off-topic comments.

Yeah you're right, toclafane1. I thought the likes would stick, but I was wrong about that. lol I suppose I have too many likes; I lost count myself. Don't fret over it, your likes will increase over time.

So, why do i have 58, when i clearly had 65 yesterday?

The flaming posts were removed, toclafane1, but your likes remained intact.

Nice Snippet 8/10, and i was was wondering where all my likes had gone, they were removed :(

You know, you should be able to combine another socket, the one called "for dinnner" with this one as one script. You can open as many sockets as you like within one script. Not to mention you use the on text regex...why not make the most of it?

I know that now, I just have some leftovers in old snippets, and when I put together small things like this I just copy and paste old sockets and modify them.

If you're gonna use the tokenize command for the receiving buffer in the %wtfwlink variable, you should've used $1, $2, $3, etc..etc...to match for the token you intend to match. That is to say you have to know the exact position of the buffer. For example, let's say the source code contains these phrase: hxck has made a socket script.

You tokenize it to get the value you want to match.

		Code 			
/tokenize 32 hxck has made a socket script.
if ($6 == script.) { ; do something	

What tokenize does is, in a simplest explanation, is to break up the words within a sentence.

Habit from the person that taught me.

The command

Quote

tokenize 32 %wtfwtemp

is purposeless in the snippet. I'm not certain what makes you use it in the first place.
