Hi,
Someone knows a fast html parser to use in Pascal code?
I need something like this:
HTML:
<select name="sel_x">
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
</select>
I need a function/object to give me only the values:
1
2
Something like:
S := GetHTMLValues('sel_x');
It's not that difficult to write yourself.
You're right. But I'm searching the faster HTML parser to use in huge
HTML files... thousands of files.
I disagree: it's damn difficult if one isn't working with tightly
constrained input, and the original question says HTML without
specifying it's a subset.
There's a couple of places where I parse HTML files that I've created
myself, i.e. I know exactly what's in them, using- basically- a simple
recursive-descent parser with some rather flexible ideas about comments
(i.e. in the above example, name="sel_x" could be lost as a comment).
However if I'm doing a brute-force job over a large number of files I
usually use Lynx as a preprocessor, which allows me to use standard
text-processing utilities to pull named rows out of tabulated reports.
