Mlb Live Scores

[jake2456]

I came across some mlb live info and im working on a skin. I tested with a game tonight and it was working.

My issue im looking at right now is that the url will change every day. It happens to change by date. So what im looking for is if there is a way to make a variable like Day= that will get the current day number to replace the number in the url with #Day# so it keeps up with the url changing every day?

[jake2456]

I found my answer with a bit of trial and error. section variables in the url werent working unless i added & between [ and Measure.

So far looks like this will be working.

[jake2456]

Seems to be an issue with the innings info im working on. the link im parsing from gets updated continually during a game. and new line is added. right now i have it parsing info for 9 innings but during a game in progress not all innings code is there as the code gets updated when it enters that inning. which in turn returns a webparse error and no info gets collected unless the game is in the bottom of the 9th or over. Can this be made to work somehow or is this beyond something webparsing and regexp can do?

Please post some code, because it would be much easier to help.

That's just the parent WebParser measure and is not enough. Please post the whole code, including the included files, if there is any.

If your testing in rainregexp youll need to parse from this URL: http://gd2.mlb.com/components/game/mlb/year_2016/month_05/day_04/gid_2016_05_04_chnmlb_pitmlb_1/boxscore.xml

For the beginning I worked just with the Measure.inc file and found the followings:
1. First of all you should disable the [MeasureBoxScore] measure (will enable it a bit later, at point 3.), adding a Disabled=1 option.
2. Remove its URL option (yes, I know it's absolutely needed, but will add it after the [MeasureScores] is resolved - also see the point 3.).
3. Add the following FinishAction option to the [MeasureScores] measure: FinishAction=[!SetOption MeasureBoxScore URL "http://gd2.mlb.com/components/game/mlb/year_[&MeasureYear]/month_[&MeasureMonth]/day_[&MeasureDay]/[&MeasureTeam1]boxscore.xml"][!EnableMeasure "MeasureBoxScore"][!CommandMeasure "MeasureBoxScore" "Update"].
4. Now the [MeasureBoxScore] measure still won't work every time, because what you've described summary. Replace its RegExp option with this:

Code: Select all

RegExp=(?siU).*away_fname="(.*)".*home_fname="(.*)".*away_team_runs="(.*)".*home_team_runs="(.*)".*away_team_hits="(.*)".*home_team_hits="(.*)".*away_team_errors="(.*)".*home_team_errors="(.*)">(?(?=.*away=).*"(.*)".*home="(.*)".*inning="(.*)"/>)(?(?=.*away=).*"(.*)".*home="(.*)".*inning="(.*)"/>)(?(?=.*away=).*"(.*)".*home="(.*)".*inning="(.*)"/>)(?(?=.*away=).*"(.*)".*home="(.*)".*inning="(.*)"/>)(?(?=.*away=).*"(.*)".*home="(.*)".*inning="(.*)"/>)(?(?=.*away=).*"(.*)".*home="(.*)".*inning="(.*)"/>)(?(?=.*away=).*"(.*)".*home="(.*)".*inning="(.*)"/>)(?(?=.*away=).*"(.*)".*home="(.*)".*inning="(.*)"/>)(?(?=.*away=).*"(.*)".*home="(.*)".*inning="(.*)"/>)

I used here the Lookahead assertion. This will ensure you that even if there are less away="(.*)".*home="(.*)".*inning="(.*)"/> elements, the measure(s) will return results or empty strings.
Please let me know if this helped.

[jake2456]

I stumbled upon lookahead assertitions a few minutes ago and was just looking into that.

I think I followed your instructions for the other stuff, but for some reason the scores.ini is showing up blank except for R H E.
It just started doing this before i made the changes. If I replace [&MeasureTeam1]boxscore.xml with gid_2016_05_04_chnmlb_pitmlb_1/boxscore.xml it works. The whole point of [MeasureScores] is to search for a specific team an get the link info for the boxscore.xml. in this case its recieving (gid_2016_05_04_chnmlb_pitmlb_1/) and should be then named as [MeasureTeam1]. Its Parsing the right info but for some reason having this [&MeasureTeam1]boxscore.xml instead of this gid_2016_05_04_chnmlb_pitmlb_1/boxscore.xml isnt working.

[jake2456]

I guess the error was in the new boxscore regexp had to make the lookaheads as (?(?=.*away=).*"(.*)")(?(?=.*home=).*"(.*)")(?(?=.*inning=).*"(.*)") instead of what you posted. As of right now with that change everything is working correctly. Thank you for your help.
