Seems like it will be difficult to parse out what you want with grep as
the page is a table layout with a lot of junk markup and random number
IDs. Other forums suggest using something called xmlstarlet which you
can grab from macports. Then you can do something like
xmlstarlet sel -t -v /html/body/table/table

I haven't checked out those pages. I found a manual online which listed a
bunch of definitions with curl. No luck yet with grep.
Oops, no the webpage I pasted was the radio station's page. On that page,
inside a frame, it always says what is currently playing. That is the piece of
text I'd like to grab.
I'll check out your second suggestion, thanks.

Not to overstate the obvious but have you checked the man pages for curl and
grep? You might also want to check out the macport version of wget. What are
you trying to scrape from the page you listed? I didn't notice the temperature
on there.

Hi all,
Can anyone point me in the correct direction to learn more about curl commands
and grep? I've been googling, but I'm not getting very far.
I have the weather temp script, where I can now hit a keyboard shortcut and the
current temp is read out for me.
I'd like to create a similar script for a local radio station's now playing
website. It is like a puzzle I can't quite figure out.
Any tips here? I keep studying the current temp script, but I can't work out
how to change it into the now playing script. :)
Here is the url I'm working with:
