Re^4: HTML parsing OR capturing text from a string within tags

Yahoo offers something that I can use. I can send yahoo a request and yahoo will send me a xml file BUT I am getting errors because yahoo has urls with &'s in the file. I can either replace all of the & with %26 and save the file and then let the XML::Parser do the work or I can look at the Parser code and determine where it parses the file and make the change there. I am found where it parses the file in Expat.pm :: sub parse. Then it calls ParseString() but I cant find the sub ParseString.

I'm not sure why XML::Parser would complain about the & between code tags, but I've never used it myself. You might have a go at that with XML::Simple. I've seen quite a few monks say positive things about that module. As far as the & goes, there are monks that are better equipped to handle that question. My code that I pointed you to was for tearing down HTML in to parsed tokens, not dealing with XML. Revolution. Today, 3 O'Clock. Meet behind the monkey bars. If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

I think I had a bad install of the module. I was able to use DOM :) Thanks	[reply]
