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

[blueroad]

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.

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
