antp.be forum

First of all, thanx for this great cataloguer!

I usually use ant with IMDB as the information source. But I also like the AllMovieGuide comments (plot synopsis, awards, etc.). Is it possible to combine both sources in the comments field? This might sound unnecessary but I think that the comments field gains with this redundancy, as each site offers different information. Other fields do not need this kind of complication, since they are objective.

thank you

It is always possible to combine two scripts in one, people made it for IMDB/OFDB for example.
Do you have few programming experience, or can't you modify the script yourself ?

The only programming experience that I have is in C and a little bit in Java (I learned both in school but I'm not studying computers, just physics). I'll take a look on the comments block in each script to see if I can combine them. If I run into doutbs I'll ask a friend of mine who knows Delphi and if he that doesn't solve it I'll ask again in the forum.

thnx

Basically you have to take the "Analyze..." functions of one script, and put them in the other script under another name, then at the bottom of the script after the call of the first "Analyze..." function, call the other one.
There are already two scripts that combine scripts (IMDB-OFDB and Allociné-DVDFR), so maybe it will help you.
It should be not really difficult if you already wrote C : Pascal is not very different in the loop/condition/blocks/functions system, except few keywords that change.
