Hi--
My pseudocode is the following
new_dictionary = []
for name in file:
#1) log into university account
#2) go to website with data
#3) type in search box: name
#4) click search
#5) if name is exact match with name of one of the hits:
line.find("Code Number")
#6) remove the number directly after "Code Number: " and stop at the
next space
new_dictionary[name] = Code Number
With the exception of step 6, I'm not quite sure how to do this in Python.
Is it very complicated to write a script that logs onto a website that
requires a user name and password that I have, and then repeatedly enters
names and gets their associated id's that we want? I used to work at a
cancer lab where we decided we couldn't do this kind of thing to search
PubMed, and that a human would be more accurate even though our criteria
was simply (is there survival data?). I don't think that this has to be
the case here, but would greatly appreciate any guidance.
Thanks so much.
