235

Get your NHL results directly to your terminal.

For decades, 235 has been part of a morning routine for countless Finnish hockey fans. This project has been inspired by the work done by YLE Tekstitv team in providing hockey fans NHL results each night and morning.

Download binaries from GitHub

Usage:

These examples use 235 as the command name. If you have just installed it without aliasing or creating symbolic link as shown in install section, you need to call it with nhl-235.

Default

235

$ 235
Washington      - Buffalo          so 4-3
Backström      16 Staal          12
Dowd           24 Cozens         30
Vrana          33 Sheahan        33
Carlson        65

Pittsburgh      - NY Rangers       1-0
Crosby         14
        

With default options, green score means the game has ended and white that it's still on-going. Teal is regular goal and purple means overtime or shootout winner. The number after scorer's name is the minute of the goal.

--nocolors

235 --nocolors

$ 235
Washington      - Buffalo          so 4-3
Backström      16 Staal          12
Dowd           24 Cozens         30
Vrana          33 Sheahan        33
Carlson        65

Pittsburgh      - NY Rangers       1-0
Crosby         14
            

Running 235 with --nocolors disables printing the color codes to the terminal and everything is default-colored for the terminal.

This also happens if printing into anything else than standard output, for example piping into a file or another program.

--highlight

You can highlight your favorite players by creating a .235.config file in your home directory. Each line in the file must be a single last name to be highlighted.

Example .235.config:

Vrana
Crosby

Once run with --highlight option, those players will be shown in yellow.

235 --highlight

$ 235
Washington      - Buffalo          so 4-3
Backström      16 Staal          12
Dowd           24 Cozens         30
Vrana          33 Sheahan        33
Carlson        65

Pittsburgh      - NY Rangers       1-0
Crosby         14
                    

This makes it easier for you to see if your favorite players scored.

If --nocolors is enabled, --highlight does nothing.
