SilentStrike · 01-18-2003, 09:58 AM

Did you write a program to parse output of HTML from the board to calculate that? Was it all requested manually? Was it written in C?

**Salem** · 01-18-2003, 10:49 AM

> Did you write a program to parse output of HTML from the board to calculate that?
Not as such - just a bit of regular expression matching using AWK (Perl without the steroids to you)

> Was it all requested manually?
Not a chance - the whole thing is
curl to grab web pages
awk to extract the info
bash to glue it all together

Travis Dane · 01-18-2003, 11:12 AM

It's all about the average number of posts per day, wich is about
8 for everyone of those top ten posters, not a that high number
is it? 8 posts per day? it's just that they have been a member for
a loooong time.

RoD · 01-18-2003, 11:41 AM

crap mines like 14.86, i need a life

Aran · 01-18-2003, 12:32 PM

10+ posts a day for more than 2 months membership = obsession in my book.

Take a break from this place, man! hehe.. you need to find some other more productive things to do.

You are just helping out the community a lot, think of it that way, it will make you feel better.

Thats a pretty cool script Salem, how long did it take to run for those top 10 posters?

RoD · 01-18-2003, 01:19 PM
