The posted preliminary program is a hassle to sort through. For those who enjoy giant spreadsheets - in which each row represents a paper - here's a script to help you out. (You'll need Node.js, version 8.x or above, installed and ready on your computer machine.)
# begin by finding a terminal window to type commands
cd ~/somewhere # or wherever you want to put things
# put the script on your computer machine
git clone https://github.com/mooniker/paa-conf-explorer.git
cd paa-conf-explorer
# put all the script's dependencies on your computer machine
npm install
# run the script with your computer machine
npm start # or `node server.js`Wait hopefully for a CSV file to appear before you. It should have a header row populated with the following fields:
sessionTitle,sessionHref,author,itemNumber,sessionDatetime,sessionLocation,sessionAbstract,personGroups,paperTime,paperNumber,paperTitle,paperHref,paperAuthors,paperAbstract, andmisc.
