Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread

Hello everyone,
I would like to use the Queen Beecon to display in my desktop some text extracted from a webpage (It changes everyday, but it is displayed in the same place)
Seeing all the things you do know, I imagine it is fairly simple, but I have no clue on how to do it.
Could anyone give me a hand?

I am far from expert, but I'd start by using wget to get the file locally, then cat the file and parse it. I think wget can output to a pipe, but it makes debugging harder. Depending on cutting method, several tools can be used to snip the data.

In any case, you need a script. Add wget and cat the result, maybe to grep so you can find what you want. Someone better at Linux tools can help you cut the text you want.

Yes, as suggested by ndi, you should be looking at wget. it will download the contents of the webpage (including all the javascripts, css and html codes). I then piped the output to a 'sed' command to remove everything i did not want and format it.

This script can then be called easily from QBW.
For reference, check this script that i made that reads match scores from yahoo's site and displays the required details. In the source code, i have also mentioned a link to a tutorial

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread

I think you'd need root access/sudo to get that info, but 'iwconfig | grep wlan0' will give you the line that you need.

I haven't used qbw before, so I'm not sure if it accepts this command, but to take just ssid out of that line, you'd need to use something like, "cut 34,*". You would need to replace * with the length of the SSID though, so you if you don't know the length of the name, it'll probably look ugly

EDIT: 'iwconfig wlan0 | grep ESSID' would do the same and not have to query the other interfaces

or if you want to show some kind of disconnected message use this script

Code:

ESSID=`echo "iwconfig wlan0"|root|grep ESSID|sed "s/.*ESSID:\"//;s/\".*//"`;if [ "$ESSID" == "" ];then echo "na";else echo $ESSID;fi

change "na" for what ever disconnected message you want.

Hope this is what you are after.

hi jonWW.
first i want to say thank you for helping me.
second echo "iwconfig wlan0"|root|grep ESSID|sed "s/.*ESSID:\"//;s/\".*//" That script didn't work when am connected to any wifi the ssid don't show up.
all i did copy and paste it in qbw and nothing happens.
thank you again, do you think something wrong with the script?

You need to be root in order to run that command(sudo gainroot), which probably won't help for qbw, unless it runs as root.
If you are root, then you don't have iwtool installed, in which case, run 'apt-get install iw' as root.

Use Jww's command as it's a lot neater(I could never wrap my head around sed ^^) but it should look like...

Code:

echo "/sbin/iwconfig wlan0"|root|grep ESSID|sed "s/.*ESSID:\"//;s/\".*//"

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread

With 'apt-get --purge remove iw'
Then it seems wireless-tools is kept in the developer tools repository, so take a look at http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...5#Installation for instructions on enabling this repository.

Once that's done, apt-get update again and then apt-get install wireless-tools

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread

No probs, and no, you need open your package manager and add the freemantle tools repository to it using the instructions in the link I gave earlier.

Once that's been added, apt-get will be able to find the wireless-tools package, which contains iwconfig.
