Hopefully the scripts contained in this documentation are (a) useful and (b) work. They were however developed with CASA still a work in progress, and so scripts may break as commands, arguments, and keywords change. We developed this script extractor to allow us to easily extract scripts from these pages and run them. Feel free to try it!
How to Get the Script Extractor
Download the script extraction code. It's linked right here: File:ExtractCASAscript.py.txt. Right-click and save the file as extractCASAscript.py. Copy the file to your data directory, and make sure you set the script to be executable.
How to Use the Script Extractor
Make your newly acquired python script executable.
# in bash
chmod u+x extractCASAscript.py
To run it, issue the python script name and give the URL as the argument. For example:
# in bash
extractCASAscript.py http://casaguides.nrao.edu/index.php?title=Calibrating_a_VLA_5_GHz_continuum_survey
This command will automatically generate a script called "CalibratingaVLA5GHzcontinuumsurvey.py"
