Screenplay Parser

This is a screenplay parser that extracts dialogues between characters. However it extracts the dialogues if the second character has a paranthetical. The scripts are crawled from http://www.imsdb.com/ .

Getting Started

1. Create a new environment

2. Clone the repository

3. Install the dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run scrapy : Go to brickset-scraper folder and run this in your terminal:

    scrapy runspider scraper.py --output=data/names_links.json
   

   This will generate data/names_links.json.

5. python json_parser.py data/names_links.json. This will read names_links.json and will create all_name_script.txt. This new txt file has a movie name and a link to its script for each movie in the json file. Note that each script takes 1-2 seconds.

6. python html_list_parser.py . This will read all_name_script.txt and will generate all_dialogues.txt. This file has all the relevant dialogues from the movie scripts.
