Looking for a table with directors (1 Viewer)

[Catalina]

Would anyone have a table with the names of film directors I could have?
Just the name is fine, no additional info needed.

It would save me a lot of time by not having to create it myself.

Thanks

IMDB has plain text files available for download here. They are GNU zip files so it would need to be extracted and parsed after download. Probably not too difficult to parse, but I've never had need so haven't actually tried it. I can't do it from work but if I get time later at home I can play around with it.

I did parse that file last night. It's a long list though. It seems to be every person on the face of the planet who has ever directed anything at all in the known history of the universe. Even after scanning through and deleting quite a few records that appeared to have just nonsense names in them, the table still has almost 300,000 rows, so not sure if you will find it all that usable. Post back if you want it and I'll zip it and throw it up here.

No problem. I'll do it tonight when I get home.

File is too big to attach here. Sent you a PM with a download link.
