Is anyone know how often Fanboy updates blocking list for Iron or when will next update come out?

I noticed that the other day. THey started going backwards earlier this week.
Copy the code below into a Notepad document and save it to your desktop as opera to iron.js. Doubleclick to run it. It will get the latest Opera list, and convert it to adblock.ini, and alert you when it is finished. The Opera list(s) are up to date.
YOU MAY HAVE TO ADJUST THE 'f=fso.CreateTextFile(file="C:/Program Files/SRWare Iron/adblock.ini", true)' path to your Iron install folder.

Code: Select all

http = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
f=fso.CreateTextFile(file="C:/Program Files/SRWare Iron/adblock.ini", true)
W=new Array("https://fanboy-adblock-list.googlecode.com/hg/opera/urlfilter.ini",
"https://fanboy-adblock-list.googlecode.com/hg/opera/urlfilter-stats.ini",
"https://fanboy-adblock-list.googlecode.com/hg/opera/urlfilter-rus.ini")
i=0,txt="\t"+W[0]
while(i<W.length)
{
if(i) txt+="\nAND\t"+W[i]
http.open("GET", website=W[i++], false) 
http.setRequestHeader("Accept","text/html")
http.send()
f.Write(http.responseText.replace(/\*/g,"").replace(/#/g,"# "))
}
WScript.Echo(txt+"\n\n\t\tis replaced and added to\n\n\t\t"+file)
f.Close()
Note:This is not my script, it came from this forum sometime back. I forgot who created it.

Would anyone know how the above code should be modified (aside from the local file's location) to work in Linux?

I thought the Iron/Chrome adblock file was not maintained after January 2011, nice to see it's been taken up again. Is it just not updated as often as the Opera adblock or has maintenance of the Iron file again been stopped?

The Iron version of it had not been updated since March 28th, but the Opera version has.
I do not know how to make the script I posted above work for Linux. You'll need to find someone that knows how to script for Linux for that. It 'grabs' the Opera urlfilter(s), and converts then to ablock.ini for Iron.
