Bash webparsing and usage.

[Gosujii-sama]

I'm relatively new to the bash/web stuff dealing with it from bash. I fully understand socket protocol and web protocol and programing just not bash itself.

Program rundown: basically im creating a bash/sh file to recompile Ghost++ copy it to a directory and NOW i want to add a automatic download for a map file it uses called "DotA" which is commonly known to those that use it.

So far looks like this:



#!/bin/bash

ghostdir="/home/*****/ghost/"
ghostmappath=$ghostdir"maps/"
dotacfg=$ghostdir"mapcfgs/dota.cfg"
site="http://www.getdota.com/"
war3mappath="/home/*****/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Warcraft III/Maps/Download/"

function get_dota {
wget $site"index.php"
while read line
do
if [[ $line == *input_file_name2* ]]; then
newestdota=$(expr "$line" : '<input type="hidden" name="file_name" value="\([^_]*\)" id="input_file_name2"/>')
fi
done <index.php
sudo rm index.php

if [ ! -f "$ghostmappath$newestdota" ]; then
cd $ghostmappath
echo -n "Downloading new DotA map..."
wget $site$newestdota
if [ ! -f "$war3mappath$newestdota" ]; then
sudo cp $newestdota $war3mappath$newestdota
fi
echo "Complete!"
echo -n "Writing cfg file..."
sudo rm $dotacfg
echo "map_path = maps\\download\\"$newestdota >> $dotacfg
echo "map_localpath = "$newestdota >> $dotacfg
echo "map_type = w3mmd" >> $dotacfg
echo "map_statsw3mmdcategory = *****" >> $dotacfg
echo "map_matchmakingcategory = dota_elo" >> $dotacfg
echo "map_defaulthcl = aremso" >> $dotacfg
echo "map_defaultplayerscore =" >> $dotacfg
echo "map_loadingame = 1" >> $dotacfg
echo "map_observers = 1" >> $dotacfg
echo "map_speed = 3" >> $dotacfg
echo "map_visibility = 4" >> $dotacfg
echo "map_flags = 3" >> $dotacfg
echo "map_gametype = 1" >> $dotacfg
echo "Complete!"
else
echo "Dota is up to date!"
fi
echo "All DotA maps up to date."
}

function compile_ghost {
cd $ghostdir
sudo rm ghost++
echo "Entering: $ghostdir"
cd $ghostdir"ghost/"
if [ -f ghost++ ]; then
echo "GHost++ Already compiled...removing for rebuild"
sudo rm ghost++
fi
echo "Compiling GHost++"
make
echo "Copying new ghost++ to $ghostdir..."
sudo cp "ghost++" $ghostdir"ghost++"
cd $ghostdir
if [ -f ghost++ ]; then
echo "-Completed Recompile-"
else
echo "ERROR: Compilation had an error try again or check files dude!"
exit
fi
cd ~/Desktop
}

function run_ghost {
compile_ghost
get_dota
cd $ghostdir
./ghost++
}

while : do
clear
echo "Commands: "
echo " ghost cghost dota war3"
echo " quit"
echo -n "Jabberwock~> "
read text
case $text in
ghost) run_ghost;;
war3) ~/wine-war3/wine "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe";;
dota) get_dota;;
cghost) compile_ghost;;
quit) break;;
*) break;;
esac
done


also i know i dont know bash well as everyone else :P so fill in your ideas too if u want. im sure others would benifit from such a script.

if someone knows a way to open a new terminal window and run another cmd in it lemme know im lookin for that now.
