updating just one field on a big database

Hi,

say I got a database filled up with 4 or 5 hundreds movies; say I want to load from the internet just the plot movie field (so retrieving it from filmup I suppose..) to have this field in italian language; how can I do this without doing by hand one by one (490 movies!) and without any kind of confirmation or choice dialog prompted to me?

thanx a lot,

massimiliano

Some scripts have a batch mode option (or similar) that allow to bypass all confirmation dialogs, but if Filmup script does not offer that you have to modify the script to skip the dialog. Do you have the URL of Filmup movie page in the URL field of each movie? Else the script would have to do a search, which can lead to more than one result...

Sorry I do not really have time for that.
Do you have some programming knowledge?
