Re: Extract Web page contents

To get the data between BODY, is more easy to do in this way:

my ($html_body) = ( $html_data =~ /<body.*?>(.*?)<\/body>/gsi );

But the use of HTML::TokeParser::Simple can be very helpful for more complex things! ;-P

I used to work with a guy who deliberately put stuff like that in hit HTML to mess with people who didn't do HTML parsing correctly :) Cheers, Ovid New address of my CGI Course. Silence is Evil (feel free to copy and distribute widely - note copyright text)	[reply]

ehehehe! I don't have shame to be economic! ;-P I just think that to just get the body we don't need a fat parser! But for complex things the parser is a bless, and the prevoius node show in a simple way how to use it! Graciliano M. P. "The creativity is the expression of the liberty".	[reply]
