in reply to html parser generator with GUI?
You could try Visual Web Task and Happy Harvester - both of which allow you to extract text from HTML using a simple GUI. Happy Harvester is better if you want to parse lots of sites quickly, but requires you to enter start and end tags for each class of data you want to extract (e.g. and article title or link) Visual Web Task is entirely code-free, but doesn't have so many options for parsing multiple sites.
good luck,
