How to extract the text between the HTML tags

[arunachandu]

HI,

I was trying to extract the text that is placed in between the HTML tags.

<title>

eGrabber - Prospects lists lead generation software | business lead generation program | address | list

| email processing

</title>

The code i wrote is:

$title=_StringBetween($html,'<title>','</title>')

MsgBox(0,"title",$title)

I tried using reg expresions also

$title= StringRegExp($html, '<title>(.*?)</title>',3)

But nothing worked out.

Can someone help me in extracting the text between the tags?

Thanks

Hey i was able to extract the string in between the tags.

modified little bit.

$title=_StringBetween($html,'<title>','</title>')

$page_title=$title[0]

MsgBox(0,"title",$page_title)

But the issue now is it is extracting the line numbers also.

For ex:

5 <title>

5 eGrabber - Prospects lists lead generation software | business lead generation program | address | list

5 | email processing

5 </title>

The result it was displaying is:

5 eGrabber - Prospects lists lead generation software | business lead generation program | address | list

5 | email processing

How do i remove the line numbers from the text?

Thanks

Good to see you figured it out.

Look up StringTrimLeft in the help file.

Hi,

I tried triming the line numbers using the function.

Following is the code.

$title=_StringBetween($html,'<title>','</title>')

$page_title=$title[0]

$Final_Title=StringTrimLeft($page_title, 6)

$Final_Title_1 =StringTrimRight($Final_Title,10)

MsgBox(0,"title",$Final_Title_1)

But here i have guessed and hardcoded the range.

I would like to know is there any function which will automatically checks the range and trim it.

Thanks

I would think you would only need StringTrimLeft($page_title, 2), no StringTrimRight. But you shouldn't need StringTrimLeft either. What is $html, and where/how do you get it? I've added an example. No line numbers show up.

#Include <String.au3>
#Include <INET.au3>

$html = _StringBetween(_INetGetSource('http://somdcomputerguy.com'), '<title>', '</title>')
MsgBox(0, "title", $html[0])

This works for me.

#Include <String.au3>

$html = "<title>eGrabber - Prospects lists lead generation software | business lead generation program | address | list| email processing</title>"
$title=_StringBetween($html, '<title>', '</title>')
MsgBox(0, "title", $title[0])

hi 

the below code works, but when I change <title> and put <h3 class = ...> it doesn't work

#Include <String.au3>
#Include <INET.au3>

$html = _StringBetween(_INetGetSource('http://somdcomputerguy.com'), '<title>', '</title>')
MsgBox(0, "title", $html[0])
