Ive been looking for a way to parse html effectively. Ive used HTML::Parser before but it doesnt parse out all the html. Ive been trying to get HTML::Strip to work. Heres what ive got so far.
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use HTML::Strip; my $hs = HTML::Strip->new(); my @file; open(FILE,"</home/baelnorn/yahoo.txt"); @file = <FILE>; close(FILE); print $hs->parse(@file);
This code just prints white space although yahoo.txt does have yahoo's source in it and @file contains that source. I tried using $file but it only got the first line. I then tried this code.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; use LWP::Simple; use HTML::Strip; my $content = get("http://www.yahoo.com"); my $hs = HTML::Strip->new(); print $hs->parse($content);
but it only gets about 3/4 of the text out of yahoo. There is nothing about a size limit to the parsing on his CPAN docs, does anyone know how i should go about fixing this?

Thanks
