Fetching data for a web-app (which I want to make in the end) this way is ugly. You overhead both your server and the server you fetch data from. Also, you should not use unix utilities for such tasks, any other language suites better. Parsing things with sed, grep, cut and friends is unreadable and unsupportable. > Yes, I agree, it would have been nice :) > > Although, I would suggest that instead of making your script really bogged > down with removing data, to just use head and tail to isolate what you > need.
