As computer programming professionals we are often looking
for code samples that illustrate how to use that new API or that library that
we have not yet had experience with. As
such it got me wondering about whether or not such tasks could be automated in
some way, which led to the publication of the following article on CodeGuru: Creating
Your Own Search Engine for C/C++ Code Samples
In the article I discuss how to make use of the Bing API to
retrieve keyword results that pertain to the programming topic of
interest. After making use of the Bing
API, the example script downloads the Web page associated with each result link and uses regular
expression based pattern matching to attempt to extract the snippets of C\C++
code contained in the Web page. I wonder
how hard this would be to do for Perl :)
