Character Transcript Generator · 8:43am Aug 1st, 2017
I'm not a coder by any means, but I dabble in Python sometimes. A while ago, I decided that it would be helpful if there was a way to browse the FiM Wiki transcript page by character--to research character voice, for example. I've been using it for a few months now, and I'm posting it here in the hopes that someone else might one day benefit from it.
It's a very simple tool that scrapes HTML from the wiki and converts it to plain text, then prompts you for a search term. I'm far too lazy to learn how to make proper GUIs, so it's all command-line at the moment.
It should be compatible with all modern Windows systems, but I doubt it'll work on Unix.
Again, I'm not a coder. I'm sure there are plenty of bad practices going on behind the scenes. I've included the source code (Python 2.7) in case anyone with actual experience wants to make use of it. Feel free to alter and expand upon it in any way.
