Hi,

many thanks to all of you for your fast replies and for all this great advice!

My HTML is indeed very "lazy", meaning that a lot of things that aren't 100 % necessary seem to have been omitted.

There are about 10,000 *.html files containing company info, each with a few sections like the one shown, plus various other stuff in them as well. I'm going to be happy if at the end, I can manage to extract (company name + telephone number + fax number + street number + street + ZIP code + city name) into a CSV file, everything separated by commas.

Now I'm going to test a bit, helped by the wonderful input from your side, many thanks!!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
