Search Internet (done for now)

[abc0502]

Hi,
I made a search tool that search specific websites "dostips, filehippo, softpedia, the piret bay"
it work just fine but i wanted to modify it to add more websites and search two or three of them in the same time but the trick is to get the result of both in one html file
so is it possible to output the search result to my own html page?
here is my code:

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal
cls
:loop
color 0b
mode 80,25
title Search Tool

Just an idea:

Use Wget to get the google html etc amd set the filenames using a switch

wget -switchesHere "http://www.google.com.eg/search?q=site:softpedia.com+%cho2%"
wget -switchesHere "http://www.google.com.eg/search?q=site:filehippo.com+%cho2%"

and copy the resulting html files together and then display them in firefox etc.

copy softpedia.htm + filehippo.htm total.htm

start "" total.htm

I have firefox and opera but my default web browser is opera. when i try this:

Code: Select all

if %cho%==1 start "firefox" "http://www.google.com.eg/search?q=site:softpedia.com+%cho2%"

it does not use firefox to open this page and opera would do that

If you read the documentation for the START command you will notice that it interprets the first set of quotes as the TITLE of the window.

So you need to do this.

Code: Select all

start "" "firefox" "http://www.google.com"

or

start firefox.exe http://www.google.com

start default browser.

Code: Select all

start http:
start http://www.google.com
start explorer http://www.google.com
