AutoHotkey Community

Alright, I've been looking for a site that will give me this option for AGES, and have yet to find anything. So, I figured I'd try and hack my own dirty way of getting the job done. I'm brand new to AutoHotKey, too, so bear with me.

What I'd like to accomplish is this:

Input a list of ORIGINATION airport codes
Input a list of DESTINATION airport codes
Input a block of dates between which I can initiate my travel
Input a block of dates between which I can return from my travel

From there, I'd like to be able to search for the best fare I can get from my options.

Now, I could search all of them individually on a million different "discount airfare" sites, like yahoo, travelocity, expedia, etc. and I could also hit up the airlines' sites directly (SouthWest and JetBlue usually aren't included in the discounter sites).

Anyone out there attempted anything like this? Would this be easier to accomplish in Perl? A rediculous shell script with numerous Lynx dumps?

Any help is greatly appreciated :]

Hmm, after posting that I decided to dig through the Yahoo Travel URLs generated when performing a flight search ... perhaps a series of browser dumps | greps | awks will get me where I want to be ...

It sounds like an interesting project. If you wind up using AutoHotkey for it and run into any specific problems, please let us know. There are some other posts on the forum that discuss how to navigate and fill out web forms automatically.

wget and/or cURL

I'm actually having a decent amount of success just dropping huge urls and parsing the output. I'll see if I can utilize AHK to help me a bit :]

I'll play some more through this weekend - and I just *might* find me a good flight for Thanksgiving!
