Hi. Basically im very new to perl and im trying to modify this script. Here's part of it
# get all important files from MLB.com, 3/31/08 through yesterday #$start = timelocal(0,0,0,31,2,108); $start = timelocal(0,0,0,31,2,108); ($mon, $mday, $year) = extractDate($start); print "starting at $mon/$mday/$year\n"; #($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(tim +e); #$now = timelocal(0,0,0,$mday - 1,$mon,$year); $now = timelocal(0,0,0,18,3,108); ($mon, $mday, $year) = extractDate($now); print "ending at $mon/$mday/$year\n"; verifyDir($outputdir); for ($t = $start; $t < $now; $t += 60*60*24) { ($mon, $mday, $year) = extractDate($t); print "processing $mon/$mday/$year\n";
Basically what its doing now is starting at 3/31/08 and downloading all information until 4/19/08 (Yesterday). What im wanting to do tho is have the script download only yesterdays games and put this script into my scheduled tasks so that at night it downloads all the previous days games only. I was wondering what exactly I have to change to do this. I can post the whole script if needed. Thanks
