twitter single person reader

By eqrunner on Oct 10, 2009

a crued twitter reader.
command !twitter will post a specified twitter user's status

on !twitter command it sets some variables to be referenced later and executes the sockopen twitter

change sockwrite -n $sockname GET /statuses/user_timeline/14189511.rss to the twitter rss feed you would like it to read from. (go to the http://www.twitter.com/user page you want to use and click on "rss feed" on the bottom of the right column to get the rss address)

in sockread, change
if (eqrunner isin %twitter_temp) {
to the user you are looking at.

what is happen, is it sends the rss feed to %twitter_temp, then looks in %twitter_temp and finds each eqrunner tag, then writes the line; removing the tags. and adding it to a twitter_desc.txt file. Line by line.
On sockclose reads the txt file and echos the first post ($read(twitter_Desc.txt, 1)) You can change that or add more lines to echo more.

let me know if there is a better way to accomplish this

for user submitted !twitter for anyone, check out my other script http://www.hawkee.com/snippet/7033/
