Extract text from web page to database


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

What I'm wanting to do is provide a daily bible verse to subscribers to my web site.

Is there a way to extract specific text from a series of hyperlinked web pages into a database?

Is it possible to extract the bible text and store it into a database, or create a text file that contains SQL insert commands (probably better/easyer?) such that it retains it's correct structure?

http://www.biblegateway.com/versions/index...;vid=9#booklist

Please note that the linked bible is public domain.

So that each verse would:

- have it's own DB record (or insert)

- record it's book name (eg, Genesis), it's chapter number and it's verse number separately from the verse itself

For example, the SQL structure might look like: [book][chap][verse][verseText]

Realistically I think extracting to an SQL insert file would make more sense, but given the size of the completed file I imagine it would make more sense to perform the extraction such that each book creates it's own insert file.

Thanks!
