# wiki.bash-hackers.org
Extraction of wiki.bash-hackers.org from the Wayback Machine
This is targeting pages that have been captured by the Wayback Machine that specifically have '?do=edit' on the end of their URL. This gives us the markdown source.
This is targeting pages that have been captured by the Wayback Machine that specifically have `'?do=edit'` on the end of their URL. This gives us the markdown source.
See the incomplete script "archive_crawler" to see my working.
- TODO: Second crawl
- TODO: Filter out all the non-markdown garbage. It looks like everything up to `<div class="editBox" role="application">`, and everything after `</div><!-- /content --></div>` is a good first cull.
- TODO: Markdown linting
- TODO: Parse the already downloaded files for any missing links

## Extracting the markdown
So the pages that have `'?do-edit'` on the end of their URL appear to have a reliable and predictable structure:
```bash
[ LINES ABOVE REMOVED FOR BREVITY ]
<div class="toolbar group">
<div id="draft__status" class="draft__status"></div>
<div id="tool__bar" class="tool__bar"></div>
</div>
<form id="dw__editform" method="post" action="" accept-charset="utf-8" class=" form-inline"><div class="no">
<input type="hidden" name="sectok" value=""/><input type="hidden" name="id" value="wishes"/>[REST OF LINE REMOVED FOR BREVITY]
[ TARGET MARKDOWN CODE EXISTS HERE]
</textarea>
<div id="wiki__editbar" class="editBar">
<div id="size__ctl">
</div>
[ LINES BELOW REMOVED FOR BREVITY ]
```
So basically, we remove everything from the first line to the line that contains `name="sectok"`, and then we remove everything after `</textarea>`, and what's left should be the markdown that we want.
