Before the lab you should re-read the relevant lecture slides and their accompanying examples.
Create a new directory for this lab called lab08, change to this directory, and fetch the provided code for this week by running these commands:
$ mkdir lab08
$ cd lab08
$ 2041 fetch lab08
Or, if youre not working on CSE, you can download the provided code as a zip file or a tar file.
Write a Shell script courses.sh which given a course prefix, e.g. COMP, prints all the course code and name for all UNSW shell_courses with that prefix offered this year on the Kensington Campus. For example:
$ ./courses.sh VISN
VISN1101 Seeing the World: Perspectives from Vision Science VISN1111 Geometrical and Physical Optics
VISN1221 Visual Optics
VISN2111 Ocular Anatomy and Physiology
VISN2211 Organisation and Function of the Visual System
VISN3111 Development and Aging of the Visual System
VISN4016 Vision Science Honours
./courses.sh COMP|tail
COMP9511 Human Computer Interaction
COMP9517 Computer Vision

COMP9801 Extended Design and Analysis of Algorithms COMP9814 Extended Artificial Intelligence
COMP9844 Extended Neural Networks and Deep Learning

Your program must be POSIX compatible Shell. You can assume anything that works with the version of /bin/dash on CSE systems is POSIX compatible.
You are not permitted to use other languages such as Perl, Python, C,
You are permitted to use programs such as egrep, sed, sort, uniq.
Hints:
The information you need for course code prefix COMP can be found in this web page:
http://www.timetable.unsw.edu.au/current/COMPKENS.html. You can assume this is the case for all prefixes.
The command curl will download a URL and print it to standard output.
| $ curl location silent http://www.timetable.unsw.edu.au/current/COMPKENS.html|head<title>Class Search by Teaching Period</title><link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=../layout/2020/myunsw.css> <head><meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1> <table width=100% cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><form name=googleForm method=GET action=http://www.google.com/u/theuniversityofnewsouthwales target=_blank><tr><td width=30% style=height:120px; border-bottom:10px solid #FFCC00; background-color:#fff;><a href=http://www.unsw.edu.au target=_blank><img border=0 src=/images-timetable/banner2020.jpg alt=TheUniversity of New South Wales width=836 height=179 style=float:left; margin-left:20px; margin-top:25px;></a></td><td width=70% style=height:120px; border-bottom:10px solid #FFCC00; background-color:#fff; vertical-align:bottom; align=right>$ |
In a script it is best run as curl silent so it doesnt print extra information on standard error.
The location is required so curl will follow a HTTP redirect from the URL.
The wget -q -O- could also be used.
You may find uniqs -w option useful when removing duplicate courses.
When you think your program is working, you can use autotest to run some simple automated tests:
$ 2041 autotest shell_courses
When you are finished working on this exercise, you must submit your work by running give:
$ give cs2041 lab08_shell_courses courses.sh
before Tuesday 28 July 18 00 to obtain the marks for this lab exercise.
Write a Perl script courses.pl which given a course prefix, e.g. COMP, prints all the course code and name for all UNSW courses with that prefix offered this year on the Kensington Campus. For example:
./courses.pl VISN
VISN1101 Seeing the World: Perspectives from Vision Science VISN1111 Geometrical and Physical Optics
VISN1221 Visual Optics
VISN2111 Ocular Anatomy and Physiology
VISN2211 Organisation and Function of the Visual System
VISN3111 Development and Aging of the Visual System

Your answer must be Perl only.
You may not run external programs, e.g. via system or backquotes.
Hints:
The information you need for course code prefix COMP can be found in this web page: http://www.timetable.unsw.edu.au/current/COMPKENS.html. You can assume this is the case for all prefixes.
The Perl module LWP::Simple provides a very simple way to get a web page, e.g:
You will need to remove duplicate entries for some courses.
When you think your program is working, you can use autotest to run some simple automated tests:
$ 2041 autotest perl_courses
When you are finished working on this exercise, you must submit your work by running give:
$ give cs2041 lab08_perl_courses courses.pl
before Tuesday 28 July 18 00 to obtain the marks for this lab exercise.
Write a Perl script timetable.pl which given course codes prints an ASCII timetable of their lecture times for this year in the format shown in the example below.

You can assume that a courses lecture times will be found in a web page equivalent to: http://timetable.unsw.edu.au/current/MATH1131.html.
Hint: if you find it difficult to use a regex to extract the line containing the lecture description, split the page into line match a previous line, then skip a certain number of lines.
You assume there are no lectures on weekends, and no lectures before 09 00 or after 21 00 Your answer must be Perl only.
You may not run external programs, e.g. via system or backquotes.
If a course is running in multiple terms print all the terms.
If th lti l t i t ll th t f l
If there are multiple streams print all the streams, for example:
$ ./timetable.pl COMP1511
Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri
09:00 L
10:00 L
11:00 L
12:00 L
13:00

16:00 L
17:00 L
18:00

$ ./timetable.pl MATH1131

16:00 L L L 17:00 L

Note the correct output in all the above examples will change when next terms lectures are added to the timetable.
When you think your program is working, you can use autotest to run some simple automated tests:
$ 2041 autotest timetable
When you are finished working on this exercise, you must submit your work by running give:
$ give cs2041 lab08_timetable timetable.pl
before Tuesday 28 July 18 00 to obtain the marks for this lab exercise.
When you are finished each exercises make sure you submit your work by running give.
You can run give multiple times. Only your last submission will be marked.
Dont submit any exercises you havent attempted.
If you are working at home, you may find it more convenient to upload your work via gives web interface.
Remember you have until Tuesday 28 July 18 00 to submit your work.
You cannot obtain marks by e-mailing your code to tutors or lecturers.
You check the files you have submitted here.
Automarking will be run by the lecturer several days after the submission deadline, using test cases different to those autotest runs for you. (Hint: do your own testing as well as running autotest.)
After automarking is run by the lecturer you can view your results here. The resulting mark will also be available via gives web interface.
