[SOLVED][Request] Script that displays next NHL hockey games

Hi all! I am just wondering if someone would be able to write a script for me that displays the next game of the Montreal Canadiens (opponent, day date and time) and print the output in conky.

Example:

Away games--> Next game: @ CAR Thu. 08/04/2010 19h30
Home games --> Next game: VS TOR Sat. 10/04/2010 19h00

Thanks a lot! smile

but if he parses the output from that page, he won't know if a game is at home or away.

I've seen young people waste their time reading books about sensitive vampires. It's kinda sad. But you say it's not the end of the world... Well, maybe it is!

Re: [SOLVED][Request] Script that displays next NHL hockey games

Just quickly threw this together using the link froli provided:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import urllib
import re

TEAM = "MTL"

def striphtml(data):
    # Strip comments or HTML tags or excess spaces
    data = re.sub(r"(?:<!--.*?-->)|(?:<[^>]*?>)|(?:[\t\r\f\v]*)", "", data)
    # Condence newlines
    return re.sub(r"\n{2,}", "\n", data)

def format(groups):
    # Prints the data with proper formatting
    for date, visiting, home, time in groups[-1::-1]:
        date = re.sub(r" ", " ", date)
        print "%s @ %s: %s %s" % (visiting, home, date, time)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    page = striphtml(urllib.urlopen("http://www.nhl.com/ice/schedulebyweek.htm?team=%s" % TEAM).read())
    format(re.findall(r"(\w{3} .*?)\n(.*?)\n(.*?)\n(.*?)\n", page))

Which will output the following:

MONTREAL @ CAROLINA: Thu Apr 8, 2010 7:30 PM ET
TORONTO @ MONTREAL: Sat Apr 10, 2010 7:00 PM ET

Let me know if there's something you want me to change (and go Sharks! =P).

Re: [SOLVED][Request] Script that displays next NHL hockey games

Also, Is it possible to display the next game only, instead of two?

Re: [SOLVED][Request] Script that displays next NHL hockey games

This should do it.  The line to shorten the team names requires Python 2.6, so if you're running 2.5 I'll change it around.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import urllib
import re

TEAM  = "mtl"
LIMIT = 1

# Teams whose abbriviated names
# are not the first 3 letters
teams = {
        "CALGARY" : "CGY",
        "COLUMBUS": "CBJ",
        "FLORIDA" : "FLA",
        "LOS ANGELES": "LAK",
        "MONTREAL": "MTL",
        "NASHVILLE": "NSH",
        "NEW JERSEY": "NJD",
        "NY ISLANDERS": "NYI",
        "NY RANGERS": "NYR",
        "PHOENIX": "PHX",
        "SAN JOSE": "SJS",
        "ST LOUIS": "STL",
        "TAMPA BAY": "TBL",
        "WASHINGTON": "WSH",
        }

def striphtml(data):
    # Strip comments or HTML tags or excess spaces
    data = re.sub(r"(?:<!--.*?-->)|(?:<[^>]*?>)|(?:[\t\r\f\v]*)", "", data)
    # Condence newlines
    return re.sub(r"\n{2,}", "\n", data)

def format(groups):
    # Prints the data with proper formatting
    for date, visiting, home, time in groups[-1::-1]:
        date = re.sub(r" ", " ", date)
        visiting, home = visiting.upper(), home.upper()
        visiting = visiting[:3] if not visiting in teams else teams[visiting]
        home = home[:3] if not home in teams else teams[home]
        print "%s @ %s: %s %s" % (visiting, home, date, time)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    page = striphtml(urllib.urlopen("http://www.nhl.com/ice/schedulebyweek.htm?team=%s" % TEAM).read())
    format(re.findall(r"(\w{3} .*?)\n(.*?)\n(.*?)\n(.*?)\n", page)[:LIMIT])
