#!/bin/bash
echo go to 'http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=[fb_uid]&sk=photos' and get a tagged photo thumbnail list
echo download it to $PWD/profile.php
echo hit enter
read
echo "<html><body>" > index.html
cat profile.php | \
sed -e '/data-src/!d;s/title=/\n/g'| \
perl -pe 's|.*data-src.*(http:.*?)\"><i st.*|\1|' | \
tr -d '\'| \
egrep '^ht' | \
sed 's/photos-./sphotos/;s/_a.jpg/_n.jpg/' | \
sed 's/\(.*\)/<img src="\1" \/><br \/>/' \
>> index.html
echo "</body></html>" >> index.html
