I've updated my weather door. Now it deletes the file it creates in the bbbs/
home direcory, and it displays more information.
You can enter the city name (single word), or a two-word name in quotes or
separated with _, like New_York, or you can enter the zip code instead of any
of those.
// start getweather.bz
// by janis kracht
int main() {
char cs,ga,cc,sp,cg,x;
cs="";
int l;
bbbs("cls");
printf("\e[1;1H\e[1;33mTo get the weather for names containing spaces,");
printf("\e[2;1H\e[1;33menter the name in quotes or use an underscore");
printf("\e[3;1H\e[1;33mfor example, both \"new york\" and new_york work.");
printf("\e[4;1H\e[1;33m Or enter your Zip Code if you prefer.");
printf("\n\n");
cs=input("Enter City: ",50,0);
cc=sprintf("\"%s\"",cs);
system(sprintf("/usr/bin/curl wttr.in/%s -O",cc),1,0);
system(sprintf("/usr/bin/head -n 17 %s",cc),1,0); printf("\e[40;1H\e[1;33mPress
a key to continue"); getch();
rename(cc, "fubba.fil");
remove("/home/bbbs/fubba.fil");
bbbs("cls");
}
// end getweather.bz
The "more information" it displays is a 120char wide display of that days'
weather: morning, noon, evening and night.
I'm thinking of making that a choice where the short choice would be what it
was displaying when I first worked on this, such as:
Weather for Zipcode: 14881
\ / Partly cloudy
_ /"".-. 3 - 15 °F
\_( ). -> 10 mph
/(___(__) 9 mi
0.0 in
and the alternate would be the "long choice", showing graphics for all the time
periods mentioned above.
Anyway, that's where the door is at so far :)
Take care,
Janis
