I should be able to do the same with the w3 tool that yt-dlp uses to fetch YouTube videos. I've looked for a practical use case to write a small program with that tool and you've just given me one 😊

#sh #shell #bash #csh #ksh #zsh #programming #fedimeteo #weather #w3m #sed #tr #pipe

w3m is a great little terminal web browser, as it's easy to compile on nearly any OS and has some great features.

For my scripts, I usually try to auto-detect the presence of lynx, links, w3m, and chawan, but for my shell alias, I just picked w3m, which I have installed everywhere. 😄

I even enjoy fedimeteo from the command line! ;)

alias fedimeteo='w3m -dump "https://us.fedimeteo.com/{{city}}__texas/" |tr "\n" ^ |sed "s/━━*/\n/g" |head -1 |tr ^ "\n" |sed -n "/^Weather for {{City}}/,/^#{{City}}/p"'

rld@Intrepid:~$ fedimeteo |head
