NightWind's Card Searcher

About the HS overflow bug - for my card searcher, to check if a card is available in HS, I search for the card name on the HS wiki page. I make sure not to search for it in the reservations section - just the card list section. From there, I can see if it's available and if so how many are.

If the format of the HS page changes, such as the text of the headings, I have to change mine as well. But this time it was different.

For the special cards, and in particular Ultros' card, when I search for the text "Ultros" on the wiki page, it would point me to Ultros' name in the HS staff section, whereas the intention was to search in the card list. So off my card searcher went to pick Ultros' name from the staff section and the first quantity it sees (Gloopzilla) and print all the text between that.

Thus we have the overflow bug where we get a giantically long column filled with the entire HS page. This also messed up the formating of the results, leading to either 6 columned tables where around 70% of the cells are blank or even weirder, recursively nested tables (depth of around 20) because of unexpected td tags.

So yeah, now I limit it to search between the h2 Card List and h2 Reservations sections or something like that. I'll just have to check HS everynow and then to see if the formatting has changed and if so, if I need to update my code.

This doesn't usually happen much as it's rare we get a card with the card name that is also the same as a member of HS. But anyways, it's fixed now. Um, I guess if you're curious, I can regenerate that bug in a test site. It would be one of the more interesting bugs I've fixed. ^_^
