Look forward to any and all ideas.

I'd use perl -ne"$. == 999 and print" > all999lines.txt to put all the lines in one file.

Then something like:

#! perl -slw use strict; use Data::Dump qw[pp]; while( <> ) { my %record = m[ <strong>([^<]+?):</strong>.+? >\s*([^<]+?)\s*</(?:a|td)> ]xg; pp \%record; }

Output:

c:\test>junk72 { "E-Mail" => "Keine Angabe", Fax => "0000736111/680040", Internet => "www.mysite.es", adresse_two => "no_value", aresss => "Friedrichstr. 70,&nbsp;73430&nbsp;Madrid", country => "contryname", employees => 259, name => "myname one", officer => "no_value", offices => 8, telefone => "0000736111/680040", "the office" => "mysite_two", type => "type_one (04313488)", worker => "no_value", }

Once you have the record in a hash, pushing into the db shouldn't be a problem.


Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
