Greetings Cocoa-Dev!
To follow-up to my occasional posts over the last year or so, I thought
I should let folks know that the software on which I've been working is
now finally available.
Metafy LLC is pleased to announce:
Anthracite Web Mining Desktop v1.0
the ultimate collection of web mining power tools combined in an
easy-to-use graphical environment that lets you quickly and seamlessly
extract data from Internet sources, modify it to suit your needs, and
export it to templates or databases as part of your daily workflow.
Anthracite supports a variety of Sources (including https URLs via
CURL, MySQL queries, the Google API, AppleScripts, ...) and about a
dozen different processor types, such as HTML Table/Cell extraction,
"Text Near", Summarization, Regular Expressions, STDIN/STDOUT UNIX
Commands, and more, and lets you output processed data to files, MySQL
or scriptable apps like Mail.
A time-limited trial version is available for download today at
http://www.metafy.com, or you can skip that and proceed directly to
checkout at Kagi
You can also try out our freeby (albeit beta) app, Arugula, which is a
really simple little program to explore regular expression matches on
HTML pages. More apps to come, too!
I realize that these apps may not be the kind of thing that software
developers in particular are exactly crying for (in fact, I have a
feeling that some Perl programmers will really dislike how easy this
makes it for average folks to work some of that text munging magic they
do), but I certainly hope that if you or your users do have an
application for these tools, you'll let me know how they work for you
(and of course if for any reason they don't).
Thanks to everyone who has been incredibly helpful during testing and
for the continually useful knowledge that folks have shared on this
list.
Joe
