[Asterisk-Users] festival text for weather report

[Robert Rozman]

Hi,

I could recomend GEO::Weather or some similar CPAN module that already
connects to proper source and parses info to well organized data structures
for weather info ..... Same could be applied to other sources (News, ...).

Regards,

Rob.

Dean,
Here is a rough starting point for you.
Put this into your /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/  directory. I used the
name getforecast. (Change the ZIP code info, line 29) and make it
executable.
<<< - FILE BEGIN ->>>
#!/bin/bash
# I grab the data from asterisk even though I don't use it
while read -e ARG && [ "$ARG" ] ; do
         array=(` echo $ARG | sed -e 's/://'`)
         export ${array[0]}=${array[1]}
done

checkresults()
{
         while read line
         do
         case ${line:0:4} in
         "200 " ) echo $line >&2
                 return;;
         "510 " ) echo $line >&2
                 return;;
         "520 " ) echo $line >&2
                 return;;
         *      ) echo $line >&2;;
         esac
         done
}
# answer the line and give some preliminary feedback
echo "ANSWER "
checkresults
echo "STREAM FILE national-weather-service \"\" "
checkresults
# Grab the forecast info page -- 80003 is MY zipcode, CHANGE TO YOUR
ZIPCODE!
tempstr=` curl -s "http://weather.toolbot.com/?where=80003&RSS" `
# Cleanup the results, get rid of html tags etc. (Could probably be
condensed)
tempstr=` echo $tempstr | sed 's:<?.*&lt;h3&gt;::g' | sed 's:=&lt.*$::'
| sed 's:&lt;br /&gt;:~:g'|\
         sed 's:&lt;[br /h3]*&gt;::g' | sed 's:nbsp;: :g' | sed
's:&amp;::g' | sed 's:mph:miles per hour:g' `
# Create 'EOF' Mark in tempstr
tempstr=`echo $tempstr "~XOX" `
# Loop through string, echoing to file, convert to wave, speak them,
etc.
until [ "$tempstr" == "XOX" ]
do
         lineout=`echo $tempstr | cut -f1 -d"~" `
         echo $lineout > /tmp/linetospeak.txt
         text2wave -f 8000 -o /tmp/forecastline.wav /tmp/linetospeak.txt
         echo "STREAM FILE /tmp/forecastline \"1\""
         checkresults
         tempstr=` echo $tempstr | cut -f2- -d"~" `
done
echo "STREAM FILE goodbye \"\""
checkresults
rm /tmp/linetospeak.txt
rm /tmp/forecastline.wav
echo "HANGUP "
checkresults
<<<- FILE END ->>>

I have the following in my extensions.conf:
exten => 2996,1,Answer
exten => 2996,2,wait(1)
exten => 2996,3,agi,getforecast
exten => 2996,4,Hangup

I'm not sure how you enter the extension.conf in asterisk at home.

NOTE: I am still LEARNING shell scripting & AGI, so the above may be
kind of hack-ish. Helpful suggestions/advice very welcome!
