HtmlAgilityPack
it’s what i’m looking at right now
it works pretty well … but i don’t have time right now to write a smart parser:
ass = dotnet.loadassembly @"D:\Downloads\HtmlAgilityPack.dll"
web = dotnetobject "HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlWeb"
doc = web.Load @"https://forums.cgsociety.org/t/autodesk-masterclass-video-2006/1257849/5"
nodes = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes "//meta"
nodes.count
for k=0 to nodes.count-1 do
(
node = nodes.item[k]
format "name:%\n\tcontent:%\n" (node.GetAttributeValue "name" "") (node.GetAttributeValue "content" "")
)
it definitely works… a dirty way to get all posts from html is:
nodes = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes "//div/p"
for k=0 to nodes.count-1 do
(
node = nodes.item[k]
format "%\n" node.InnerHtml
)working with xpath we can find authors, code, links, pictures as well
That was a rhetorical question. I understand that we’re the absolute minority here. At least according to these numbers
Forum alone gets about 10 million views annual and this section only about 100-150k views for the past two years.
btw Absolute majority of threads could be retrieved with just single request.
| thread length | post count | threads count |
|---|---|---|
| short | 0 — 20 | 16489 |
| middle | 21 — 40 | 311 |
| long | 40+ | 22 |
No. I don’t like the new look… I find it very difficult to search for old posted scripts, etc.
Should have an update on search today. One of our developers needed time off for 2 weeks. Back on it now

thread
Someone answered in a thread I have posted and 11 (eleven) days later I receive an email notification that there is new post in my thread.
For more than a week when I logIn the site informs me that I have a new PM but I read this “new” PM a week ago.
Don’t give up! You just have to answer it an it desapears. Then, the problem is for the other one!
I have answered to this PM when I read it but the notification is still “active” every time when I open the site even if I am not logged.
