There is a web site with newspapers archives.
I need for this web site :
2. To get the list of newspapers titles
1. To get all the newspapers content in txt
The script (it can be two scripts):
in a first pass:
- need to get meta-data for each newspapers (title, location, notes) and save it as a csv file (tabulation separated)
in a second pass:
- get all the content of each newspaper in txt combined with a csv file (tabulation séparated) with title, date, url, name of the file.
- need to be able to be relaunched (if there is a crash or new newspapers) and not download again the previous newspapers
- have a check control (in case the connection is down and there is a trouble on the target web site)
- have warnings
- not overload the target web site
If needed i can provide an existing perl script that do similar job and can be adapted. The script use several regex with while loops.
This is a test for one web site. If the project is achieved properly there is larger job with several web site.
