take a look at this site. http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/calendar/
I would like to take this file, have the computer scan the dates, compare it to the current date, if within a week, start sending reminders verbally up until the date has past, then it can forget about it.
I don't care about times, just dates. Is it possible to scan the file and pull the information, date, and read the status/info text?
also, since there is so many entries can it be searchable by keyword, such as launch, comet, asteroid?
I don't think anyone here does what they do for the $3 store credit. That's nothing compared to the amount of work some have put into helping another user.
There is no need to shut down your request threads. Just keep keep in mind what you know now for future posts. Generally it is best to choose "General Discussion" as the category for the thread. That avoids the problem of having to award a specific user with credit for solving the problem. Nor will you get the nag emails telling you to do so.
@dbeard "Sorry for bothering everyone" - You aren't bothering anyone, your questions are good ones, topics are good...we're just trying to offer our two cents to you as regulars so that you get the most out of your posts and pick up on some of the community educate, that's all.
I agree with others, if it's outside of what ARC can do it should be select as a "general discussion". And also creating several threads in secession that are related to the same topic, that's a forum fopaux...and ultimately it mismatches and jumbles up the advice that members try to provide.
But you certainly aren't bothering anyone. You're part of the community.
