Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Automated Metadata Tool
« on: March 19, 2011, 11:46 PM »
That site doesn't appear to have any sort of search API so it would be manual page scraping.  Of course, I could be missing something...

Currently you need an account to search due to server maintenance, other than that I don't know, sorry.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Automated Metadata Tool
« on: March 19, 2011, 10:27 PM »
I'm not sure on how complicated this request would be (and it's kinda selfish) so feel free to deny it if isn't in the scope of this area.

I'd like a tool to update metadata on music, the genre of bands/albums to be specific, for music based on the information from http://metal-archives.com/.

IE. Select a folder with the program and it searches the website and changes the genre to what it is listed as. In the case of multiple genres simply ignore anything after the first / and put Metal as the suffix. So, Power/Folk Metal would just be 'Power Metal'. In the case of multiple results for a band a drop down selection of the results. Asking for confirmation before saving the changes would probably be best.

If there is already something that can edit metadata with the information from that site delete/close this request.

Edit:
Forgot to include idea in the title.

I feel dumb, I didn't even notice the l there.

Got it downloaded, it sorts the text in the same order as the source.

The text between the ][ brackets is what's showing up in the match box.

Edit:
Sort wasn't working at first, it is now. It's quite usable as is, the only issue is this http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/3051/image1vr.jpg

It should be in the same order as on top.

I have this pretty much done.  Would you mind providing a list of valid URLs and your expected sorting of them for testing purposes?  If they're sensitive links, feel free to PM the list.

Sent, I was off by the time you posted this or I would have responded sooner.

Doesn't sound too bad at all - if no-one picks this up by March 28th, I'll do this one.

How I would do this: a bit of Java that reads a file and applies a regex to find the sort criteria in each line.

Say something like the following: ^.*?=thread\](.*?)\[.*?$

Sort on \1

Rewrite

This would actually be very easy to make configurable, possibly quite handy for other uses.

Feel free to add extra functionality as you want, all I want is the url sorting :P. Thanks for offering so quickly.

I maintain the master list and help with maintaining the master list of threads on some sites, alphabetizing them is probably the most troublesome thing to do, on with my request:

What I'm looking for is a text editor like notepad, or an external program to alphabetize text files based on the name that is contained in the brackets of a url tag in BBCode.
Thread Title
*url=http://www.examplesite.com/showthread.php?t=thread]Thread Title 2[/url*

If I posted this incorrectly please tell me, and how I can fix it. Many thanks to anyone that decides to pick up this request.
