Hi I've done a cute script to download the videos from TBS, along with the text and put them in the current folder.

Hey mentat, with no other intention than to educate, if you have some time, go over explaining this code in detail, I think everyone, programmers and non-programmers would appreciate your personal insight.

Users of Ubuntu and Linux are lucky.

We don't have that luxury!

Good stuff. Might I ask why you put it all in a begin block though? You're not using that block at all.

Interesting title, though, you're not actually 'stealing' it.

After downloading, though, when opening in Ubuntu's default text app, Text Editor, I get this:

However, if I Open With > Emacs22 (Client), it comes out as normal Japanese... in... an ugly editor Any way I can just view it normally with Text Editor?

What is your locale? en_US.UTF-8?

I've tried with Firefox, and changed it to every Japanese encoding, but nothing works

Tobberoth, I would assume it is, but I honestly don't know how to check that.

mentat_kgs, I tried your code, but it still showed up as the symbols I pasted above.

Awfully frustrating problem. I despise the Emacsen interface. I *could* go through and cut all the text from emacsen to Gedit and replace the file, but that just takes away from the beautiful simplicity of the script.

Anybody have any more ideas?


Edit: Actually, I have, indeed, got it working in Firefox. I just had to set Auto-detect to Japanese. I don't know why this working... I ran through, literally, all 3 Japanese settings yesterday. :: sigh :: Well, at least it's working, and with rikaichan for quick lookups, to boot

If you use gedit, you can open it manually and select the encoding ISO-2022-JP, it should show it.

A script someone showed me:

for i in *.txt; do f=$(basename $i); iconv -f ISO-2022-JP -t UTF-8 $i > $f.utf8;done

can convert all those text files into Unicode, so it should display fine thereafter. Back up beforehand.

Edit: On that note, I just frigging  wish Japan would adopt Unicode, the stubborn so-and-sos. >.<

Ok, I just fixed the text issue. The script was not tested on windows, but it should work fine now.

YAY! Totally works fine now Thanks so much NOW it is incredible awesome

Thanks so much, mentat. The script is indeed beyond awesome now. :3

It is not. I made ruby check the OS so it will only download using wget on linuxes.

Not faster, but it resumes downloads and checks if the file was already downloaded.
