You could replace the checksum you have on the page with sed easily enough, because it's the only string of its nature on the page. Another option would be to put a span around it, with an id: <span id="md5sum">foofoofoofoo</span> Then use a DOM library to change the value of that element on the page. If I were doing this I'd probably use Python. -Erik On Sat, Jul 14, 2012 at 5:00 PM, Brian Wood <woodbrian77 at gmail.com> wrote: > I'm wondering how to automate something further.
