Initial script to parse Kayak feed for finding flights under a certain price from a certain airport on a certain airline

gistfile1

require 'feedzirra'

feed = Feedzirra::Feed.fetch_and_parse("http://www.kayak.com/h/rss/buzz?code=#{ARGV[0]}")

feed.entries.each do |entry|
  if /^.+\sfound\stoday/.match(entry.title) && /^.+\son\s#{ARGV[1]}\sfound/.match(entry.title)
    from = entry.title.scan(/^([A-Z]{3})/).first.last
    to = entry.title.scan(/^[A-Z]{3} to ([A-Z]{3})/).first.last
    cost = entry.title.scan(/^.+ \$(\d+)/).first.last.to_i
    if cost<ARGV[2].to_i
      puts "#{from} to #{to} for #{cost}"
    end
  end
end

This was my initial proof of concept script. I working on converting this to a full fledged rails app

oh and the arguments are

From Airport Code
Airline ("Delta","US Airways")
price

Good to see you're still coding!
