Does chatscript have any support for requesting a webpage and parsing it? or maybe just calling a program that can do that for you and then parse the output of the program?

I’m looking at the code in External Communicationspdf below and don’t understand why $$junk is defined but not used?

topic: ~tempinfo system repeat keep()
u: (!$$currentCondition)
$$start = findtext($$tmp $$pattern1 0)
$$junk = findtext($$tmp ^”\”” $$start)
$$currentCondition = extract($$tmp $$start $$findtext_start )

u: ($$currentCondition)
$$start = findtext($$tmp $$pattern2 0)
$$junk = findtext($$tmp , $$start)
$$currentTemp = extract($$tmp $$start $$findtext_start)

probably because $$junk should be $$findtext_start, finding the beginning and ending of something. Not that I’ve double checked, but that’s what I’d expect.

Are saying thats an error in the code? That extract should be extract($$tmp $$start $$junk ) ?

equivalently.  You might want to consider what findtext and extract do.
