Venerable Monks,
I'm trying to extract some info from a HTML-page. The information looks like <div>important_info_here</div> and there are many div-tags that I'm interested in. I want to store all info in an array. I have done something like:
...
$content = get_content($url);
@results = ($content =~ /<div>(.+)<\/div>/s);
foreach(@results)
{
print;
}
but I only get one match. What have I forgotten? I have searched through the monastery to no avail.
Update: Thanks for the replies! I followed tachyon's advice and did it this way:
@divs = $content =~ m/<\s*div[^>]*>(.+?)<\s*\/div>/sig;
I agree it would be better to use a real HTML parser, if I needed to extract more info.
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.)
