Hello, I improvised on Keith Wanton's idea for using lynx to retrieve the weather. The following script is very simple, but it gave me a chance to learn something about awk. I named it wx and type wx <zipcode> to obtain the current weather. It should work great with speakup except I need to figure out how to remove the degree symbol from the temp and dew point. Enjoy! ##### wx xcript below this line ##### #!/bin/sh # The following script uses lynx to retrieve the # weather for the entered zipcode. # A simple awk program selects the fields to be displayed. lynx -dump http://braille.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=$1 $2|\ awk ' \ /Observed/ {print $1 " " $2 " " $3 " " $4} /Temperature/ {print $1 " " $2} /Humidity/ {print $1 " " $2} /Dew Point/ {print $1 " " $2 " " $3} /Wind/ {print $1 " " $2 " " $3 " " $4}'
