# papergirl
# This script will scrape the arxiv new posts page for all the new papers of the day,
# cross check these against lists of authors and key words that you are interested in
# and only return those specific papers. It will then email this curated list straight
# to your inbox.
# Note that this script requires the following environment variables to be set

PAPERGIRL_PASSWORD # the app specific password
PAPERGIRL_FROM     # the email address it should be sent from
PAPERGIRL_TO       # the email address it should be sent to

# The author and topic lists should also exist even if blank.

# To run:
papergirl (--topics [location of topics file] --authors [location of authors file])


# synchro
# This script creates a file called "splash.filenames" that lists in the correct
# filenames you need for a synchronised movie with splash. It is designed to be 
# used when you have several simulation folders and for whatever reason the files
# have gotten out of synch. It requires the log files and a file that lists the
# folders you are interested in, separated as a new line.

# To run:
synchro --folders_file [file that lists the folders of interest] (--prefix [file name prefix, e.g. disc] --end [stop movie when they are all finshed or when the first is finished])
