I am not a programmer (but I play one on TV).
However, I love Census, but would like to increase it's functionality for me.
After line 530, I added:
entry[3] = class;
entry[4] = race;
entry[5] = "test"
I know 3 and 4 are terribly redundant, however, I can copy/paste the data into word and do a quick Search/Replace in this format, and end up with a nice CSV file in a few minutes that allows me to sort the data.
Entry 5 is something I just added -- I'm going to start using it to "datestamp" the data I retrieve, and I can then parse/sort/delete once I've put it in the CSV.
Now, my question: currently, I have to manually edit the file and put in the date in "test", i.e. "week of 12/13" -- and then run census for that week. This makes my desire to have current data easy. However -- is anyone able to actually make it so that's a variable which can be entered in the census interface? I know it can't automatically pull a timestamp fromwhat I read, but this would be just as good for me.
Anyone?
Thanks :-)
