Your specification is incomplete.
It is simple, not incomplete.
Actually it was ambiguous :) Se below to see what I mean (and probably
what the post that said it was incomplete meant)
What if it says:
<p>Data that I <b>need</b></p>
Do you want <b> in your response? Or stripped? Or that part of it not
included?
I don't care.
...
And why is <p> interesting to you, but not <title>? those are both "text".
You'll need to explain it by more than just one example. What
if it's in a table? What if it's the caption for an image?
...
Basically, right now I just need the HTML to Text output, like I explained.
"HTML to Text" would seem to mean you do *not* want any HTML in your
text, and also *any* text, including the title text. Also it could mean
makein <b>'s into *'
s and <i>'s in to /'s and <u> into _'s and links and images into
refernced footnotes, lists into * or i. or 1. formatted lists or tabels
into formatted text, etc etc...
To make it "complete" I think this is what you mean (and its not
ambiguouse in any way ;p)
"I want to grab strings between the p tags in this exact block of HTML"
to which I would reply:
my @strings = $html =~ m{<p>(.*)</p>}g;
which I am able to do because I don't have to guess how you interpret
"HTML to text", especially when "HTML to text" can be a very very very
complicated thing with many many degrees of what that means exactly to a
given person an situation (non of which we can know unless you tell us
(IE by not being incomplete or ambiguouse)
HTH :)
