I am trying to parse a very crazy (IMHO) HTML website. I tried to use XML::LibXML but its so confusing on how I get out what I want. I want to remove the href at the value Level III. I have no idea how to do that. I could use a push in the right direction. Any ideas?
<TABLE width=745 BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=2 cellspacing=0> <TR> <TD colspan=4 bgcolor=green align=center cellpadding=0> <font color=green>.</font> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD width=25% rowspan=4 BGCOLOR="#DEB887" align=center> <p id="entrypor"><font color=#127d37 face=Helvetica size=3><B>Radar&nb +sp;</font></B><a href="#more-radar" onclick="moreradar()" title="Clic +k to show products and output type selction options.">[-]</a></p> </TD> <TD bgcolor="white" width=35% valign=middle align=left> &nbsp;<span id="entrylinks"><A HREF="HAS.FileAppSelect?datasetname=650 +0">NEXRAD Level II</A></span> </TD> <TD bgcolor="white" width=20% valign=middle align=left> <span id="accesslinkage"><i><A HREF="HAS.FileAppSelect?datasetname=650 +0">access</A> | <A HREF="http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/documentlibrary/ +surface-doc.html#6500" target="infowin">info</A> | inv | <A HREF="htt +p://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/documentlibrary/index.php?choice=dsi&searchs +tring=6500&submitted=1&submitted=Search" target="docwin">docs</A></I> +</span> </TD> <TD bgcolor="white" width=20% valign=middle align=right> <span id="entrypor">06/05/1991 - 06/15/2009</span> </TD> </tr> <TR> <TD bgcolor="#eaeaea" width=35% valign=middle align=left> &nbsp;<span id="entrylinks"><A HREF="HAS.FileAppSelect?datasetname=700 +0">NEXRAD Level III</A></span> </TD> <TD bgcolor="#eaeaea" width=20% valign=middle align=left> <span id="accesslinkage"><i><A HREF="HAS.FileAppSelect?datasetname=700 +0">access</A> | <A HREF="http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/documentlibrary/ +surface-doc.html#7000" target="infowin">info</A> | inv | <A HREF="htt +p://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/documentlibrary/index.php?choice=dsi&searchs +tring=7000&submitted=1&submitted=Search" target="docwin">docs</A></I> +</span> </TD> <TD bgcolor="#eaeaea" width=20% valign=middle align=right> <span id="entrypor">05/07/1992 - 06/14/2009</span> </TD> </tr> <TR> </TR> </table>
