I try to use it with my providers search site which uses this string:
http://212.31.123.206/iyp/iyp?iyp_aot=&iyp_ao=iyp.ax_searchwp_search1&iyp.f= wp_normal_search&iyp.d=WP&iyp.l=el_CY&iyp.v=1.1&te lfaxno=</query>
but I get a parsing error ";" expected.

You are right. I got it working now.

I am uploading the txt files for landline numbers in India. I'll add mobile numbers and some landline online lookups later on. Mobile is a problem, especially with the current number portability system implemented all over India.

BTW we have some lookup servers but it works only for particular regions. So how do I make xml file for that? in_4.xml?

EDIT: uploaded complete in.txt fies including mobile numbers. I still need an answer about the lookup

how to work it in India...where to place those files...

Buddy, this app is currently on in development, so you can only test it out.
Unzip that file and place the contents of it in /opt/callerid/.
To run it, in xterm type

Code:

callerid --deamon

. The app will then wait for a call and when call comes, it will show a banner with details.

or you could test it out with

Code:

callerid <telephon number>

in xterm.
eg: callerid +914742400000 will give the result India, Kerala, Kollam

Anyway, I hope ovekaaven will push to extras-devel a new version which starts on boot.

First of all, it is

Code:

callerid --daemon

it then waits for an incoming call.

this is a fun application, and i'd like to get it fully working on my machine

so far this is what i get:

~ $ callerid +1802xxxxxxx
I/O Warning : Failed to load external entity "/opt/callerid/s_ca.xml"
13:36:20: Caller location Montpelier, VT

using the program via the daemon outputs only montpelier, vt too, without any error message.

can someone give me some advice on what i have failed to do? by the way, if it matters, i only use wifi to access the web.
thanks for the help

You're not doing anything wrong. Thats how it is supposed to act.

No, I didn't add that separate-file-feature for the xml files since I expect the xml files to be much smaller.

I tried to explain it in my original post already:

<config>
<area code="1" id="a"/>
<area code="2" id="a">
<area code="4" id="b"/>
<directory id="a">
...
</directory>
<directory id="b">
...
</directory>
</config>

The area codes are matched same way as in the .txt files. (The area codes are only used to find the directory to use, it is not removed from the number, unless the directory entry itself removes it with a <prefix> tag.)
