Bot Makers

Just an idea for a bot I had that would be useful to me. A program that automatically harvests all of the sparknote information for a book.

My ideas on how to have it work: goes to the index url, one such as:
SparkNotes: Hamlet

Then after that you all the links between "<div class="alphaBox">" and "<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">". Then have it visit each url and harvest the main text and put it together as one string and save it as a .txt file.

Just a thought, I might work on it. Posted so some people can maybe have input, I'm doing some other stuff now so it might be a while.

That or the lazy bastards can read the book themselves. :/

Its can be easy to do with socket

Just need to trim the text of html code

and put it on rich text box or other thing like thats

make a save button and its pretty all

Maybe i will give a try with book choosing or maybe i will do one for all book download

I dont know for the moment but anyway for the moment i need to relax a little bit i put 5 hours of debugging my new uu9 code lol

If i do it i will do it in one like week going to traveling on sunday and i will not have the time before that so if no one do it i will probably do it when i will be back
