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

saynoto0870.sh [options] premiumnumber

Example

saynoto0870.sh -1 0870123456

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

My Programs

Here is a selection of some (other) programs I have written, most of which run under GNU/Linux from the command line (CLI), are freely available and can be obtained by clicking on the links. Dependencies are shown and while in most cases written and tested on an x86-based Linux server, they should run on a Raspberry Pi, and many can run under Windows using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) or Cygwin. Email me if you have problems or questions, or if you think I could help with a programming requirement.
