Well, setting any of the environment parameters did not work. The only way I could get it work was to change the language in .elinks.conf. It was defaulted to "system", which obviously uses my locale settings. I changed it to English, so that now the web pages load in English, even though there is a translated version available.
If I have to get an output in my locale language, then I guess I should replace the words in search phrases of the original scripts with the ones in my locale language, right? In that way, may be I can contribute to the internationalization of your script  ?

That's great information! I wasn't planning on doing anything else with the script for my purposes, but you are welcome to take it and extend it as I did. I think it started out as a one liner from Crouse, another guy made some changes, and I modified that work. Feel free to do the same. All that I would ask is that if you choose to pass it on to anyone else, be sure to credit the original authors, whom I believe that I have already cited in the comments. |

It doesn't work. I think it is not an encoding issue but a language one.

UTF-8 by itself is not descriptive enough. It should read en_US.UTF-8, or whatever encoding you actually want to use.
export LOCALE=en_US.UTF-8
export LOCALE=C
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=C
are all possibilities that could work. |

|

I've modified my script, taking the efforts from a couple of different places. This script is clearly a "hack"; it uses two different weather services and two different text browsers. It could certainly be improved in that regard, but it does work reliably. If anyone wants to improve upon it, post your improvements here.
This is the latest script, containing both current conditions and a ten day forecast:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
# forecast
#desc Find current weather stats and forecast for your zip code
#desc Ex: forecast 03301
# weather 1.1 -Crouse
# With Updates by Jeo
# Modified to run stand alone by Brian Masinick
# NOTE: This tool uses the elinks text web browser
# Example: forecast 03301
# Usage: forecast zipcode
zipcode=$1
if [ -z "$zipcode" ]; then
echo "Please provide a zip code (Ex: weather 03301)"
else
unset response
# Should be one distinct line (using repeated slashes to help):
###################################################################################################################################################

| By the way, I was able to get that going from my IN MEMORY copy of Puppy 4.2 RC 4. All I had to do was grab the PET package for links and it was ready to go! Works great! |

Great job, btw.
Just one question. My weather.bash goes from the area S of ENMU in Portales. How can I get it to display another area of Portales, such as (on wunderground.com, zip 88130 you'll see the drop-down for the source) just Portales for the source?
Thanks.

I am not sure whether this will work with a script or not, but on wunderground.com, you can sign up for an account and it then remembers your settings, including if you selected a major reporting station or a personal weather site instead. Try that and see if it makes any difference at all. Login to wunderground from the web and create an account, then select a different reporting station for that zip, then call up the script and see if it behaves any differently. It may, it may not, but it is worth a try. |

... and the coolest thing about all of it is that the only innovation that I can take credit for is combining the existing work of at least three other people. I added Daenyth to the list of contributers and modified the comments in my code above.
I guess I am like Anticapitalista in that sense. He did not write any of the applications in antiX, he is not a programmer, and he gets help from others. But he puts it all together and decides how it should fit and does a great job.
I will not write new code unless I have to. I read other people's work and leverage upon it when I have the freedom to do so. I do not try to call it my own, except to take credit for integrating it together. You can see that Crouse and Jeo are responsible for the majority of the code, but I accidentally missed the citation of a third person, Daenyth. I have corrected this in the comments.
This is not the first time that I have benefitted from the help and work of others. When I was still at Fidelity, I had an idea for a script to save me a lot of time, but in that particular case, I was lacking some technology know how. VHockey86 spent quite a bit of time with me and practically wrote the entire script based on my spec. I sure appreciated that one!
I wrote a few other scripts where I grabbed Perl code from others, made a few changes, and got some cool stuff working.
My personal .emacs and .bashrc files over the years have been collections both of my own work and the collective work and ideas of many others as well. When I have names, I credit others for their work. When I do not have names, I try to at least cite where the idea came from. When it is my work, I want credit for what I do, so I try to be careful to grant that same courtesy to others. |
