Get a Fake Name Generator identity

nick761 · **Posted:** Tue Dec 29, 2009 8:06 pm

This code snippet downloads an identity from Fake Name Generator and even parses it all for you so that you can immediately use the data. It only takes a few seconds to implement and works really well. You can remove unnecessary fields if you don't want to use them.

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

; Fetch the fake name generator page
UrlDownloadToFile, http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/, fng.htm
FileRead, fng, fng.htm
FileDelete, fng.htm
 
; Parse out the vCard URL that has all the important info
regex := "(?<=/fireform.php\?identity=).*?(?="">)"
RegExMatch(fng, regex, info)
 
; Separate the data into separate strings
StringReplace, info, info, --, /, All  ; Workaround to allow AHK to use more than one character as a delimiter in a parse loop
Loop, Parse, info, /
{
    if A_Index = 1
        firstName = %A_LoopField%
    if A_Index = 2
        lastName = %A_LoopField%
    if A_Index = 3
        salutation = %A_LoopField%
    if A_Index = 4
        street = %A_LoopField%
    if A_Index = 5
        zipCode = %A_LoopField%
    if A_Index = 6
        state = %A_LoopField%
    if A_Index = 7
        city = %A_LoopField%
    if A_Index = 8
        phone = %A_LoopField%
    if A_Index = 9
        birthDay = %A_LoopField%
    if A_Index = 10
        birthMonth = %A_LoopField%
    if A_Index = 11
        birthYear = %A_LoopField%
    if A_Index = 12
        age = %A_LoopField%
    if A_Index = 13
        email = %A_LoopField%
}

Here's an example of how it could be tested:

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

email := UrlDecode(email)
StringReplace, city, city, +,%A_Space%, All
StringReplace, street, street, +,%A_Space%, All
 
MsgBox, Name: %salutation% %firstName% %lastName%`nAddress: %street%`nCity: %city%, %state% %zipCode%`nPhone: %phone%`nBirth date: %birthDay%/%birthMonth%/%birthYear%`nAge: %age%`nEmail: %email%
return

FakeNameGenerator changed something on their site that prevented this from working. I finally got around to fixing it.
