Hey Now...

So I've been messing with Geektool and I'm not trying to do anything fancy, just single text lines. So far i've got time, day/date/month/year, standard weather, and feels like temp. Each one is in it's own separate shell.

The weather data is extracted from accuweather.com. Since I live in Florida, I'd really love to add another shell that just displays the humidity, I just don't know how to parse that out of the script.

Help Please!

You didn't mention where in Florida so I just used Miami as a place holder. Just replace the URL in the following line of code with the current weather page for your city from accuweather...

Code:
curl -s -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0" https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/miami-fl/33128/current-weather/347936 | grep Humidity | awk -F'[/>]' '{print "Humidity: "$3;exit}' | sed 's/[<]//g'

Thanks! Worked like a charm! After opening day of the Baseball season I'm gonna see if I can't tweak that for RealFeel. 18 more days!
