Python
Works with: Python 2.6
<lang python>import urllib import re
def key1(x):
return int(x.split()[0])
a = urllib.urlopen("http://www.rosettacode.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Categories&limit=500")
entries = []
for line in a:
match = re.search('>([^<>]*)</a> \((\d+) members?\)', line) if match: entries.append(match.group(2) + ' - ' + match.group(1))
a.close()
for c, line in enumerate(sorted(entries, key=key1, reverse=True),start=1):
print "%3d. %s" % (c, line)</lang>
Ruby
<lang ruby>require 'open-uri'
entries = []
open("http://www.rosettacode.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Categories&limit=500") do |f|
for line in f match = line.match(%r{>([^<>]*)</a> \((\d+) members?\)}) entries << match[2] + ' - ' + match[1] if match end
end
entries.sort_by {|x| -x.to_i}.each_with_index do |line, c|
puts "%3d. %s" % [c+1, line]
end</lang>
