[Bendug] Helpdesk/Desktop Technician Positions

[Paul]

OK, nerves were frayed and maybe some of us said things we didn't
mean...

But seriously, I need 6 mega-schlubs to WASH MY CAR!!!  I just drove it
thru ALASKA!!  The hood has been sealed shut with dried up bug corpses!!
I tried to run down an old person, and they stuck to my bumper!!

On to less pressing matters...

I'm trying to scrape stock prices from MSN.com (don't tell me of the
irony... I know) using a PHP script.  Here's the page:

http://shweet.bendug.org/~paul/quotes.php

Here is the script part that's screwed up:

if (!empty($_GET['submit'])) {
$lines =
file('http://moneycentral.msn.com/scripts/webquote.dll?iPage=qd&Symbol='
.$_GET['symbol']);
$match = preg_grep("/<TD>Last<\/TD>[^;]*;(.?\d+.\d+)/", $lines);
print_r($match); }

OK, here's a sample line of HTML that I'm trying to scrape:

<TR><TD ALIGN=RIGHT>&nbsp;</TD><TD>Last</TD><TD ALIGN=RIGHT
NOWRAP><B>&nbsp;23.63</B></TD><TD WIDTH=20 ROWSPAN=8>&nbsp;</TD><TD
ALIGN=RIGHT>&nbsp;</TD><TD>Open</TD><TD ALIGN=RIGHT
NOWRAP>&nbsp;23.10</TD></TR>

OK, pretty simple... I'm trying to scrape off that '23.63' using a
preg_grep function, but I've gotten the regex wrong, cuz it picks up the
'Open' price, and I only want 'Last'.  The optional '.', I tried
escaping both, and it still picks up the 'Open'.  Any ideas?

Does anyone know what to feed old people?

I apologize for taking things down a notch.  The response from Paul did
bring a smile to my face! (let me know if you need some help on your car
detailing position, I may know somebody.)

Since this is my first offense, I hope you'll go easy on me.

And believe me, the level of conversation is pretty low already.

I actually have 6 openings for people who want to wash & vacuum my car.
I will accept resumes via spyware-infected e-mail, only.


Love & Kisses,
Kaine Kornegay

Please don't take offense at this if I have it all wrong, but I hope you
haven't joined this list simply to "head hunt" here.  If that is the
case I will most likely ban your domain name and communicate the
situation to the other list admins I know in Oregon and Washington.  I
have nothing against your recruitment activities, but they are off-topic
for this list and bring the level of conversation down several notches.
