I'm sure you've had the experience. You watch an auction, intend to bid, but get stuck putting out a fire and completely forget about the auction. Well, if you use Outlook as your mail client, here's some help. http://www.klemid.de/ebayrem.aspx This programmer has developed a very nice script that will scan your open Internet Explorer Windows and grab the auction and parse the Auction End, Title, and link, and and create an Outlook appointment with the exact ending time of the auction (adjusted for your time zone). If you use Mozilla Firefox or are a Mac user, sorry. This script will only work for folks using Windows, Outlook and Internet Explorer. However, I love it. The current script doesn't work with eBay's format. But I've got the fix. Change... strPatternForTime = "\s\(Ends\s(.*?)\s(.*?)\s(.*?)\s*\)" to... strPatternForTime = "end time\s(.*?)\s(.*?)\s(.*?)\s*\)" Also, be sure to include the following references.
