Original code by Ruthgul, but I thought it sucked, so I fixed it. <3

Script

<aliases>
  <alias name="ships" match="ships" enabled="y" group="script-ships" send_to="12" sequence="100">
  <send>http = require "socket.http"
page, retcode, header = http.request("http://iota.materiamagica.com/online/sysinfo.txt")
if (retcode == 200) then
  wstart = string.find(page, "Merdraco", 0, true)
  wend = string.find(page, "#END", 0, true)
  where = string.sub(page, wstart, wend - 1)
  Note(where)
else
  Note("Sorry, couldn't read sysinfo page")
end</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>

Usage

Type 'ships' and it'll display the late updated location of all the ships from sysinfo.txt.
