Programming Exercise #2

I guess we should just load those word combinations generated, with some dictionairy script (it's around here somewhere).

PHP Code:

 echo("Requesting Definition of" SPC word @ ":");
 temp.req = requesturl(temp.link);
 this.catchevent(temp.req,"onReceiveData","onDefine");
}
function onDefine(obj) {
 temp.toks = obj.fulldata.tokenize("\n");
 for(b: temp.toks) {
  if (b == "<LI>") continue;
  if (b.starts("<LI>") > 0) {
   temp.ntoks = b.tokenize(";");
   temp.npos = temp.ntoks[2].pos("(");
   temp.defin = temp.ntoks[2].substring(0,temp.npos);
   if (temp.defin.length() > 1) echo(" - " @ temp.defin);
   temp.msg++;
  }
 }
 if (temp.msg == 0) echo("No Definitions Found!");
} 


Perhaps change that into returning 'temp.msg > 0'. Could need some better dictionary maybe.

thats definitely not the most efficient way at all. just getting it done and doing it efficiently are two different things. this is often your faults
