As for code illustrations, try: http://www.wetware.com/drieux/src/unix/perl/OK.UglyCode.txt an illustration of the full on wackaDoodle code, where I was working on an 'all singing, all dancing' - cgi and command line tool. you would want to look at the sub parseTreeBack { .... my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new; # empty tree $tree->parse($res->content); my @title = $tree->look_down("_tag", "title"); my $page = ''; foreach my $t (@title) { foreach my $item_r ( $t->content_refs_list ) { next if ref $$item_r; $page .= "$$item_r \n"; } $page .= "\n"; } .... } that basic structure is how I get the 'content' of the 'title' out of the html.... I repeat that basic trick set to parse out the rows and tables for other stuff - since I need to parse out of : " <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN"> <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>List Grovellor Says</TITLE> </HEAD><BODY><H1 ALIGN="center">List Grovellor Says</H1><hr><TABLE WIDTH="60%" ALIGN="center"><TR VALIGN="TOP"><TH ALIGN="center" COLSPAN="2" > = Frodo found in hobbits =</TH></TR> <TR VALIGN="TOP"><TD>Frodo Baggins< /TD> <TD>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</TD></TR></TABLE><br><hr align="center" width="50%"><br></BODY></HTML> " the fact that I found "Frodo" on the hobbits mailing lists, and that he has the email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] - which is to say I found the TreeBuilder simpler to use than trying to work out the HTML::Parser and HTML::FormatText stuff directly, it provides some 'class extensions' - and the specific trick above is bootlegged from the POD. But it works. ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
