saynoto0870 v1.3 [25 Jan 2012] by Dominic
Description
https://www.saynoto0870.com provides online access to a user-maintained database of alternative geographic numbers for UK non-geographic premium numbers usually beginning 084 or 087. saynoto0870.sh is a GNU/Linux script which provides an automated look-up facility for saynoto0870.com.
Supply a number on the command line and it checks with https://www.saynoto0870.com for alternative non-premium numbers. Normally it returns first any confirmed numbers and then any non-confirmed, this can be limited to confirmed numbers only with -n switch, or to one result only with -1 switch.
If running under Cygwin with no number provided on the command line it will try to use the contents of the clipboard as the number; in this case it runs with pause automatically.
Usage
/home/z-shares/scripts/saynoto0870.sh [options] premiumnumber
Example
Switches
-h show this help and exit
-c show confirmed number(s) only
-n instead of line-by-line 3-field output, output only space-delimited number(s) with trailing space
-p pause at end and wait for user to press a key
-l show changelog and exit
-1 if more than one alternative number, return only the first
Dependencies
bash, wget, grep, sed, awk, sort, uniq, fold, basename, stty
