Paid on delivery
The website [login to view URL] publishes entrants for sailing races into a set of tables divided by class. A script is needed to process the HTML and extract the data into CSV or JSON format.
The input will be the "regatta ID" and a format modifier (-csv or -json)
Example:
% rnget 12672 -json >> [login to view URL]
An example event is:
[login to view URL]
under the link "Current Registrants"
The specific frame in question is called by:
[login to view URL]
Where the variable to be input is the "regatta_id", in this example 12672
For JSON, the desired schema would be:
{
"Entrant #": "<#>"
"Skipper": "<skipper name>"
"Club": "<club name>"
"Sail#": "<sail number>"
"Boat Name": "<boat name>"
"Fleet / Division": "<fleet/division name>"
"Make/Model": "<make of boat/model of boat>"
"Rating": "<rating #>"
"Date Entered": "<date entry received>"
}
For CSV, the desired output would be:
Entrant #,Skipper,Club,Sail#,Boat Name,Fleet / Division,Make/Model,Rating,Date Entered
Raw HTML looks like this for each entrant:
<tr valign="top">
<td bgcolor="#ffffff" width="15" valign="top"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">1.</font></td>
<td bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="top"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"> Doug Johnstone <br /><br /> </font></td>
<td bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="top"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"> SBYC </font></td>
<td bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="top"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"> 56491 </font></td>
<td bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="top"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"> LeReve </font></td>
<td bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="top"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"> Cruising Class / </font></td>
<td bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="top"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"> Jeanneau / Jeanneau 36 ip </font></td>
<td bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="top"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"> 108 </font></td>
<td bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="top"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"> 07/07/2016 </font></td>
</tr>
This can be written in a common Linux scripting language such as Ruby or Python, or some other efficient scripting language.
