I have rarely come out in public asked for technical assistance. Resources now are scarce and needs are immediate/urgent.

I need a couple of volunteers to help me with data mining software. I am thinking about acquiring any of the two below:

http://www.qualityunit.com/unitminer/

http://www.shuetech.com/minetheweb/

Both tools have online demos that you can test your skills with. The plan is to use these miners to grab headlines from our national papers and display them on the portal main page so that people can click and go to the appropriate site for full content.

Who are the brave souls? please contact me via PM or [email=“[email protected]”][email protected]

Needless to say that the entire Pakistani Qoum will be proud of you if your donate some of your hours. :slight_smile:

Re: Calling all Coding Gurus

Fom what little I know, maybe you should be running RSS feeds or something in order to pull out news from their sites?

Azkar bhai for this third class anti-Pakistan forum? never!

Re: Calling all Coding Gurus

Azkar bhai, what exactly are you looking for? Do you want to pull the headlines once a day? Every few hours?? This can be done with a simple script, formatted completely to one's specifications. Infact I think that will probably be the best solution. Even better would be to get in touch with those newspapers, and ask them to provide an rss feed specifically for you guys.

I think a Perl script can be setup with a cronjob to extract the latest news and publish it as an XML feed .. i have written couple of these perl scripts to extract data from websites.. so let me knw if you need any help :)

Re: Calling all Coding Gurus

mm.. did that for someone using python a while ago..(it was all parsing with no Form Feeds)
but problem with pakistani URDU newspapers is that they have the news in Image format..
for english ..YES i would say RSS/RDF.
You can use any language for doing that. with PHP having lots of base support. for that.
would luv to help it out here..

Re: Calling all Coding Gurus

Perl is the easiest .. short code can provide you a very effective parser.. :) PHP is good but code is longer than perl ...

Re: Calling all Coding Gurus

I actually had not written this when you made this post :p.
I just had an idea that how is this possible.. so after some struggle of a couple of hours.. here is the code…

woh open source wala cheeta kahan hai jo kuch din pehlay naray laga raha tha farangi programmes k? lol

I was waiting and watching the way programmers on this forum think of doing this.
To all those RSS lovers: RSS is not for programmers.
