I've written an open source program to read the World of WarCraft news, that apears on the left side of the login screen.
Requires:
- VB6 Runtimes
- RichTextBox
- Winsock
- VB6 to Compile
This also shows:
- How to write a halfass stringbuffer
- How to request a page of HTML
Thanks to:
- The guys who wrote Ethereal
- Grok, for DebugOutput (used in the early stages of parser writing, no longer present)
EXE and Source Code Included

EDIT -
You should note that this was tested when news was there to be read. If none is present on the server, you will be likely to recieve a subscript out of error RTE, where I'm working with my splits in the parsing procedure.

Neat. Runs fine under wine.
-
Backwards addchatting (Is it just me or is time running backwards in linux?) is resolved?
-
I think I'm going to try to implement this into my website using PHP. Would be kind of nice to view the "news" from anywhere that has internet without downloading a program.
Thanks, Joe.
