DailyRiczWest – behind the scenes v0.4
Due to extraordinary circumstances (i.e. the hottest day this year) I didn’t quite get as far as I wanted with this release, but I did generate it from the command line in UNIX. I have 2 files under templates:
- header.html
- footer.html
and generated this file with the UNIX commands
sed -e 's/\*BR\*/\<br\>/g' ../../../../ifttt/favourites.txt > body.html– this is the “Stream EDitor” which can perform various editing tricks from the command line. In this case, it’s doing a global search and replace for the string “*BR*” and replacing it with “<br>” to get the breaks in the HTML for reasonable formatting
cat ../../templates/header.html body.html ../../templates/footer.html > daily-18.html– which basically ConcATenates the header, body and footer files in to one file
rm body.html– that deletes the intermediate file
so there was no real manual editing, and I could obviously put this in a shell script with the above 3 commands.
