Game info found on google?

OK so if I created a folder with multiple text files within this folder and use the name of the game for filename: ie I make a folder with name Nintendo GameCube and inside the folder I create text files with name Super Mario Sunshine (USA).txt and so on, that your script won't make an array of game titles from the text file names to be used by $list?

(Reason why I'm doing this way is to test before pointing to my real directories)

The script won't modify the directory it is looking at. I did take a look today though and it appears the way the release date is coming from the gamedb is throwing off the script. It will run better inside of ISE at least until I have a few minutes to rewrite it (I am at work presently).

Cool thanks buddy.....I think this script will be very useful for pulling custom info besides what's found in the current database.xmls ie number of players or description etc....so I thank you for sharing

what are the game info *.ini* files that are hosted on the Emumovies FTP??

K i found the issue.....the line that has the foreach entry:

Period before ForEach should be a pipe character:

$list.ForEach......should be $list|ForEach

Once i made this change...I was able to scrape the data successfully

Glad to hear. Sorry I've been wrapped up in developing a c# application.

[Iggy]

No worries Bro.....hope all goes well with your C# app!

Strange it doesn't work for me even with sjignacz fix.

I get this and no output file:

Even if I delete the conflicting Date line, I get no output.

EDIT: Managed to make it work, but I had to remove the regex part for removing brackets. In any case I had them removed on my dummy files filenames.
