in thread HTML-Parser: a newbie question: need to extract exactly line 999 out of 5000 files..

hello Morgon hello sundialsvc4 -

thanks for the kind words and for opening my eyes for the power of PERL !

that is just amazing! Well i get a headace when i see to browse 5000 files and do all the work by hand. This would take more than several weeks.

so i decide to use PERL - since it is very very powerful - i try to nail down the issues while using PERL.

See one of the example sites: http://www.kultusportal-bw.de/servlet/PB/menu/1188427/index.html?COMPLETEHREF=http://www.kultus-bw.de/did_abfrage/detail.php?id=04313488
in the grey shadowed block you see the wanted information: 17 lines that are wanted. Note - i have 5000 different HTML-files - that all are structured in the very same way!

That means i would be happy to have a template that can be runned with HTML::TokeParser::Simple and DBI.
That would be great!!

,,, and now i try to get more infos about HTML::TokeParser::Simple and DBI.... I have a manual of DBI - The book of Tim Bunce and aligator xy! At the moment i am on page 25... ;-)

@Morgon, sundialsvc4: i love to hear from you....

regards
