Kanye REST - SpriggsySpriggs - 12-08-2022
Below is some code to grab a random Kanye "Ye" West quote:
Code: (Select All)
Option Explicit
$NoPrefix
$Console:Only
$Unstable:Http
Dim As Long connection: connection = OpenClient("HTTP:https://api.kanye.rest/")
If connection <> 0 And StatusCode(connection) = 200 Then
Dim As String buf, outbuf
While Not EOF(connection)
Get connection, , buf
outbuf = outbuf + buf
Wend
outbuf = Mid$(outbuf, 11)
outbuf = Mid$(outbuf, 1, Len(outbuf) - 2)
Print outbuf
Print: Print "-Kanye West"

Note: This needs the latest GitHub build to run. It won't work in version 3.4.1, just FYI.

you can get the quotes from https://github.com/ajzbc/kanye.rest/blob/master/quotes.json
RE: Kanye REST - SpriggsySpriggs - 12-08-2022
Yeah, I'm just trying to show how easy it is to use the new features in QB64pe
RE: Kanye REST - Jack - 12-08-2022
in the early Mac computer there was a program available that would at random times pop-up Bullwinkle the moose an say something silly/funny

Requires the file "quotes.json". If it's in the same format it doesn't matter who the speaker was, does it?
Code: (Select All)
$CONSOLE:ONLY
dim as long ff, ll, l, ts
ts = (val(mid$(time$, 4, 2)) mod 2) * 60 + val(right$(time$, 2))
afile$ = "quotes.json"
ff = freefile
open afile$ for input as ff
do until eof(ff)
line input #ff, aline$
if aline$ = "[" then
ll = 0
elseif aline$ = "]" then
exit do
else
ll = ll + 1
end if
loop
close ff
redim sf$(1 to ll)
ff = freefile
open afile$ for input as ff
do until eof(ff)
line input #ff, aline$
if aline$ = "[" then
l = 0
elseif aline$ = "]" then
exit do
else
l = l + 1
aline$ = _trim$(aline$)
if l = ll then
sf$(l) = mid$(aline$, 2, len(aline$) - 2)
else
sf$(l) = mid$(aline$, 2, len(aline$) - 3)
end if
end if
loop
close ff
print sf$(ts)
print "- Kanye West"
