html (instamapper) to max

phiol

I am quite new to jitter and would need some help to figure out how to get internet html data into max.

My friend has an iphone 3g and uses (http://www.instamapper.com/) to get GPS readings in real time. Now he asked if it was possible to get the data into max.

I have read a post mentioning that [jit.uldl] is the way to go to dowload data from the net. (B.t.w, I've updated this object to the latest april 1st 2008 version)

The answer for what i need to do would seem to be here in this post below. But after trying the given patch, nothing really seems to be working right?? I get a few errors like-
"jit.str.regexp: could not compile: unmatched parentheses"

(here is the post);

and the patch;

Max Patch

Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Maybe there are other ways without using[jit.uldl] or [jit.regexp], but this is the closest I got to finding my answer. I guess ?? ;)

Thanks in advance for any help on this .

Questionable source material.

You are escaping the first parenthesis in your jit.regexp. Changing that should remove your error.

bonjour faire signe au machiniste

J'aime ton titre ;-)

Have you read the entire post ?? even the title.
the porn part is not mine !!!! I couldn't give a shit !!

What interest me is getting the html source of instamapper or (any site for that matter) into max and parse changeable data.

#1 problem. I don,t know jitter much.< but i've been reading.
#2 I don,t know html. < to track what I want to parse. < but i've been reading ( learned a few

#3 i can't get the help files to work. So, I could at least try to figure out what,s going on.

I am really desperate to get this fabulous object running.

Finally, basically I just want to get basic max data so I can 't music! I am not really concerned about jitter matrices at the moment.

Merci beaucoup pour ton temps

thanks for the tip emmanuel

But the point of using this example was just to demonstrate how to parse a variable from a website.

What I'm hoping for is,maybe someone showing a sample patch of fetching a desired data.

By the way, are there any other way than w. the Perl jit.str.regexp.

I"m sure this is extremely simple for many of you.

For me, it's been a nightmare.

I've been working really hard to figure this one out.

The best way of understanding concept/patches etc.. for me up to now, has been to take relatively complex patches apart. Then I come up w. my own stuff.

But basically, getting my hands dirty!

That's what i've been trying w. the PARSER/downloader section in the [jit.str.regexp] help file.

Again, any help on how to get a variable from a website into Max
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a million in advance

Anxiously waiting :-)

Hi emmanuel

Just a quick question I forgot to include in my last reply.

you said;

>The problem with both website is that the pages are dynamic on the
client side.

-Why is this a problem? Is it because the jit.uldl searches for code that are dynamic on the server side? I have read that Perl is used for server-side scripting. And is that why we use [jit.str.regexp]??

you said;
>It seems though that instantmapper have an API which
gives you access to the a static page:

-which is said by the authors that "You are allowed to issue at most one request every 10 seconds (30 seconds for HTTPS)."

So basically, I will dynamic data in MAX, I will have to download the page, say, every 11 sec.

THanks again
