Best way to search /prog/

Name: Anonymous 2008-09-05 16:55

Any one have any good scripts/ways to search /prog/?  I tried google but it sucks at finding /prog/ content.

Name: curtains and a dog !NAMdiwz0Sw 2008-09-05 17:19

Have you tried searching with 'site:dis.4chan.org'? The /prog sub-directory doesn't return useful results.

One word, sqlite3, world4ch_archive.db and a LIKE statement.

more like 6 words.

this is because the threads are on http://dis.4chan.org/read :it101:
p. sure site:dis.4chan.org/read/prog would work well enough.

It still fails quite often
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=xx-hacker&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=ak4&q=site%3Adis.4chan.org%2Fread%2Fprog+%22I+can%27t+configure+debian%22&;btnG=z34r%3C|-|

D'oh, I'm a tard. I meant it to find http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1205007075/25 but obviously that search wouldn't work for that.

No. No it wouldn't be slow. Download whole /prog/ and scan http://dis.4chan.org/prog/subject.txt for changes with demon.

Name: Anonymous 2008-09-06 2:16

Good point.
Downloading all of subject.txt still takes five to ten seconds on a good day, but I suppose you would only need the first few lines every time.

that can be fixed pretty easily...
#!/bin/sh

if [ -z $1 ]
then
 echo "USAGE: $0 [regex]" 1>&2
 exit
fi

GET='basename \`which fetch curl wget lynx w3m links elinks | head -n1\``
case $GET in
 fetch)
  GET_OPTS="-qo-"
  ;;
 curl)
  GET_OPTS="-s"
  ;;
 wget)
  GET_OPTS="-qO-"
  ;;
 lynx)
 links)
 elinks)
  GET_OPTS="-source"
  ;;
 w3m)
  GET_OPTS="-dump_source"
  ;;
 *)
 echo "ERROR: could not find one of: fetch curl wget lynx w3m links elinks" 1>&2
 exit
 ;;
esac

if date --help 2>&1 >/dev/null
then
 DATECMD="date -d @" # assume gnu date if --help works
else
 DATECMD="date -r " # assume bsd date otherwise
fi

$GET $GET_OPTS http://dis.4chan.org/prog/subject.txt | sed '/'"$*"'/!d;s/^\(.*\)<>.*<>.*<>\(.*\)<>.*<>.*<>\(.*\)$/echo; echo Title: \1; echo URL: http:\/\/dis.4chan.org\/read\/prog\/\2; echo -n "Posted: "; $DATECMD\2; echo -n "Last Post: "; $DATECMD\3; echo/' | sh

and if your system's date utility doesn't work like the gnu or bsd one, you can just grab the source from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/bin/date/ and compile it.
and the rest of it is all POSIX.

This may surprise you, but scanning subject.txt is absolutely fucking useless, since it contains only thread names.

Name: Anonymous 2008-09-06 7:15

>>21
One of those numbers at the end is the date of the most recent post in that thread. It's a perfectly sensible way of keeping track of changes.

Name: Anonymous 2008-09-06 7:17

>>22
Do you realize the topic of this thread is ``Best way to search /prog/'', not ``Best way to track /prog/ changes'' (there was a practical /prog/ challenge about the latter topic some time ago, by the way)?

Name: Anonymous 2008-09-06 8:32

>>23
And >>15 is about keeping a hypothetical Shiitchan filesystem up to date for easy searching, for which subject.txt is perfect. Learn to read.

I am >>15 and I was talking about dumping /prog/ to local system. Maybe you missed the Download whole /prog/ while you were reading.
And, >>23, this may surprise you, but we here in /prog/ don't really care about thread topics.

You're going to have to maintain your own index of /prog/ if you want to search it. Now that I think about it, I feel like doing a Haskell bot to index the whole of /prog/.

i say it's easier in python because of easy sockets and sqlite3 integration.

i mite post some code later on...

Because those are Python-only constructs, of course.

Bumping with legitimate content is rare enough that I think it can be justified in this case.
