Find and remove(replace) text in a document


Recommended Posts

I have a script that is set to get a certain part of a web page, and paste it to file. This works great, one problem is that it includes all the HTML tagging! I would like to find a way to get my script to look for all instances of "<" and continue deleting until it reaches ">" and do that throughout the document. Can anyone help me out? I am using FileReadLine from an HTML file downloaded with InetGet to get the original information.

Check your help file for _StringBetween() or StringRegExp(). Either one will pull out everything between those tags. You might also consider how you got the HTML in the first place. You might get just the text you wanted in the first place using the _IE* functions, like _IEBodyGetText(), _IEFormElementGetValue(), etc.

DoubleMcLovin,

No doubt a RegExp guru will turn up soon, but this works: :mellow:

#Include <String.au3>

$sText = "fred1<rubbish here to be got rid of>fred2<more rubbish here to be got rid of>fred3"

While 1

    $sTag = _StringBetween($sText, "<", ">")
    If @error Then ExitLoop

    ConsoleWrite("Tag: " & $sTag[0] & @CRLF)

    $sText = StringReplace($sText, "<" & $sTag[0] & ">", "")

    ConsoleWrite("Txt: " & $sText & @CRLF)

WEnd

ConsoleWrite($sText & @CRLF)
