Post by laxstar »

ok so here's what im thinking:

i have started using iblog and i thought it would be neat if a plugin (or script) could be written to retrieve the latest post's title and add it a profile or away message
now my programing and scripting skills are nonexistent, so if someone could help me out (or write one) that would be very neat i think

ok so ive thought about this a bit more. iblog stores a local copy of the blog in an html file in the sites folder, the title of each entry is tagged with a title tag, so some how there has to be a way to find the first title tag and copy what is in it to adium. any one any ideas??
thanks

You would need to find the date created, and then read the file's contents.

I dunno how to find the date created, but here is the UNIX command for reading the file's contents:

Code: Select all

cat /path/to/file
