On the end you append whatever arguments you wish to get the appropriate output. If you need them, I'll dig them out.

You maybe interested in knowing that Anarchi's released a set of (well written and structured) PHP scripts to deal with this - http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=214865

Thats the info on that btw, used it yesterday ;).

And since i'm posting, might as well ask a question :p. I'd like to find a way to retrieve the "buddies" on lfsworld. Anyone know if this is possible, and how?

Hmmmmm, without logging in as your self through a script and parsing the page using regexp, I cant see of a way of doing it atm.

Well, had a look to do it that way (a short look :p), but can 't seem to get the info i need (using the page source in the browser). Its all java modules which get included, not sure how to get the info in those modules.

I hate AJAX-style interfaces for parsing too :(

I'll have a think during lunch to see what I can come up with.

No idea's yet on how to do this? Atm. i'm having to input the buddies manually; works ok but not very user friendly if you have alot of buddies.

imo there is no way around this... you will always have to make/enter a list of your buddies in any program/app...

I had thought of doing some clever capturing stuff - if you've ever used the Spy+ stuff that comes with MS Visual Studio, you'll know what I mean.

The problem was that I couldnt then think of a way to capture the details correctly - plus the user would have to open their LFS Buddies and use the "capture feature" to get the information - which would be too complicated for a lot of people I think :(
