SAS text data manipulation - 2020 MLS fixtures - any soccer fans ?

blueroad — Thu, 26 Dec 2019 04:27:00 GMT

Hello all and Happy Holidays !

I long for the good old days when a sports league posted their schedule it would be text. Usually a header with date, followed by the games on that day. USATODAY was the place I went first

Now, with the smartphones that have made everybody stupid, mlssoccer.com offers me to "synch to my calendar".

Really ? is it that important to spoon feed so that you can flash ads at me ?

I just want ASCII - date home away time. Any one else trying to get the schedule of fixtures ?

If I had a source, I'd spend the hour reading it in to SAS.

If you have already produced such a schedule and could share, I could trade a ticket to this year's Red Bulls at RBA in Harrison, NJ.

If you find a web resource that has the schedule in a not too tricky layout to capture, please send it along.

GO MLS - especially NYRB - although I am a fan of the league 1st. Break up LAFC !

Good luck with this.

I have a hard time getting the NCAA conferences to even show the sport I want for the calendar year I want much less a nice text listing of conference play.

Hello Ballardw,

I found later that evening on British betting sites schedules that can
be manipulated.

        www.scoreboard.com/mls/fixtures

I'm also trying to find any Major League Soccer fans who are fluent in
SAS to bond with.

Here's is a search I used

        college basketball betting schedule

first one I found was

        vegasinsider.com/college-basketball/schedule

which provides just a week of games that I saw. Did you know that on
Saturday the "Alice Lloyd College Eagles" are traveling to play the
"Morehead State Eagles - LOL
