I have a somewhat easy regex question, but I am very weak with regex so I am having a hard time trying to juggle the things I have to get done and researching what the heck I am doing wrong. I was hoping I could get some help.
lets say I bring a chunk of a web page into a script. The HTML basically looks like :
<HR>
1 is good<BR>
useless data<BR>
useless data<BR>
useless data<BR>
useless data<BR>
<HR>
2 is not good <BR>
useless data<BR>
useless data<BR>
useless data<BR>
useless data<BR>
<HR>
3 is good<BR>
useless data<BR>
useless data<BR>
useless data<BR>
useless data<BR>
<HR>
4 is not good <BR>
useless data<BR>
useless data<BR>
useless data<BR>
useless data<BR>
<HR>
What I need to do is grab anything between the horizontal breaks where it says "is good" and load all occurences of that data into some sort of data structure.
I can accomplish this task in a really
ugly manner, but I figured it was about time to see the right way to do it.
Once again, I thank all of you for your time and patience.
