Hopefully the scripts contained in this cookbook 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.

Bad News

We started to use a syntax highlighter on these pages that makes things look very pretty but broke our script extractor. The following will act as a placeholder until we get the extractor running again!

How to Get the Script Extractor

Download the script extraction code. 

# in bash
ftp ftp.eg.bucknell.edu
# log in anonymously with e-mail as password
cd pub/jgallimo
get extractCASAscript.py

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=Example:_Calibrating_a_VLA_continuum_survey


This command will automatically generate a script called "Calibrating_a_VLA_Continuum_Survey.py."
