DF_Scraper is online!

A couple of days ago, my friend Wan at DF Chinese Translation group asked me a favor: to help them retrieve some specific information regarding animals.

Their request is easy, every animal entry on dwarf fortress wiki has the line "Some dwarf perfer [animal] because [their quality]", all I need to do is to look into each animal page, find the sentence, and paste it to a csv file ... right?

Yeah, the catch is there are over 880 animal entries, that's dwarf fortress for you.

I am not the kind of guy who will spend a couple hours to write an automation script just to solve a one-time task that can be done by hand in 5 minutes, but considering the circumstances, I will make an exception. Plus, 880+ entries doesn't seems to be an reasonable amount to do by hand.

So, time to put the web scraping skill to test!
