can u do it?

Give me a site to look at.

Yell.com

lol that will do

I admit to being a geek, but not the programmer type, I do the bit before and after the programmer. That's the difficult bit really

Had a bit of a play. This is a basic python script to scrape stuff from yell.com - edit - the forum editor strips all the tabs which makes it very hard to read
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


import mechanize
import BeautifulSoup


def scrapePage(soup):
for item in soup.findAll('div', "vcard"): #, recursive, text, limit):
name = "-- none --" if item.find('span', "org") == None else item.find('span', "org").string
address = "-- none --" if item.find('span', "street-address") == None else item.find('span', "street-address").string
tel = "-- none --" if item.find('span', "tel") == None else item.find('span', "tel").string
print "%s | %s | %s" % (name, address, tel)
return

# open main YELL page
response = mechanize.urlopen("http://www.yell.com/")
forms = mechanize.ParseResponse(response, backwards_compat=False)
form = forms[0]

#
# hi, Ive got a minute before I have to get back to my friends but I need a quick opinion on something ...
# do you know who the builders are in swindon ?
#
# fill in the search form fields
kw_control = form.find_control("keywords")
kw_control.value = "builder"
lc_control = form.find_control("location")
lc_control.value = "swindon"

request = form.click()
response = mechanize.urlopen(request)

# first result page ...
print "================================================= ======================="
soup = BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup(response.read());
scrapePage(soup)

# all other results pages ...
nextText = soup.find(text='Next')
while nextText != None :
print "================================================= ======================="
nextLink = nextText.parent
response = mechanize.urlopen("http://www.yell.com/" + nextLink['href'])
soup = BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup(response.read());
scrapePage(soup)
nextText = soup.find(text='Next')

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
which generates this output ....

Needs bit of work of course to turn it into a real application. Note that this was my first ever bit of coding in python, thought I would use this experiment to learn another language.

so what are the above numbers???


are they new additions to the site?

No, everything listed in the search critera. would be pretty easy to extend it to keep a database of numbers so it would only alert you to new ones though.

right inbox me ur phone number mate an ill call u. if you can do that for me ill pay you for it.

there are a few sites i would like it done for
