Welcome the Sedna Presenter Daily Data Converter (SPDDC)

I hope that this project can help anyone who fit's this project's neiche. If you have any questions feel free to just say and I will do my very best to help you. This is more of a source distrobution than anything and as such, a great deal of time went into commenting the source code.

As general doccumentation, the following can be found in the source headder. :)

This program converts the text files in the specified directory with today's date, into a displayable JavaScript file for the Sedna display. If no files with today's date are found it will simply produce a default page showing the default image. The format of the file name is [YYYY-MM-DD_##.txt] where {##} is any sort of sequential file naming. However, for a single file the {##} is not required. Also the numbering is not explicit, this means that so long as they are in order, it does not matter what number and/or letters are used. The files will also be obtained from an FTP server if specified. The files with today's date will be then downloaded and stored locally. This program is designed to be executable via scheduled task. It is OS independent (Though it has only been tested on Windows XP and OSX). To begin, make sure to configure the {config.txt} file. It is documented to ease the process of setting it up. Any variables that are either not present or invalid will be set to their default. All variable values must be between square braces '[...]' and following the variable name. (e.g. VAR_NAME = [var_value]) As for HTML, there are a limited number of accepted tags. They are: "b", "u", "i", "s", "br", "br /", "center", "sup", "small", "sub", "strike", "strong", "tr", "big", "li", "dl", "dt", "dd", "em", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "blink", "caption", and "xmp". There are also a few tags that may be used along with parameters (src, height, width, border, etc...). Those are: "font", "marquee", "ol", "ul", "td", "th", and "table".

Because of my EXTREAMLY poor doccumenting skills I'm sure the first 100 updates will be to the doccumentation alone. ;)

If you have any questions just say.

Understand that this is more of a source distrobution than usable project. I love that the result can be used. However, this is more about getting the source out there for others to see and both suggest fixes for and learn from. :)
