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?
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.

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

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

Code:
echo "iwconfig wlan0"|root|grep ESSID|sed "s/.*ESSID:\"//;s/\".*//"
Code:
ESSID=`echo "iwconfig wlan0"|root|grep ESSID|sed "s/.*ESSID:\"//;s/\".*//"`;if [ "$ESSID" == "" ];then echo "na";else echo $ESSID;fi
Hope this is what you are after.

or if you want to show some kind of disconnected message use this scriptCode:echo "iwconfig wlan0"|root|grep ESSID|sed "s/.*ESSID:\"//;s/\".*//"change "na" for what ever disconnected message you want.Code:ESSID=`echo "iwconfig wlan0"|root|grep ESSID|sed "s/.*ESSID:\"//;s/\".*//"`;if [ "$ESSID" == "" ];then echo "na";else echo $ESSID;fi
Hope this is what you are after.
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?
