1. "i would be happy to have a template that can be runned with"
   Sorry, this is NOT a free-coding service. But some of those who responded to your prior post might be "happy" to take on that job for $$$
2. "a simple example... is this all right ?"
   Around here, we favor the practice "Try it and see; then bring a question (if any) with specifics of what you tried and how it failed."
3. This new thread appears to be a followup to Re^4: HTML-Parser: a newbie question: need to extract exactly line 999 out of 5000 files.. ". At a minimum, you could make life easier for those who would help (for free) by referencing that... and indeed, the entire previous thread. And some would argue that this should be merely a new node in that thread.

If you want to parse the original html of course you have to use a different xpath.

Which path to use is easy enough to determine with XPather (which is NOT a perl-module but a firefox-plugin): Right-click on what you want - select "Show in XPather".

I won't write the whole script for you but if you want you can hire me...

Good evening morgon and ww. and also hello dear Perl-Monks! great to hear from you!


as parsing this one here: http://www.kultusportal-bw.de/servlet/PB/menu/1188427/index.html?COMPLETEHREF=http://www.kultus-bw.de/did_abfrage/detail.php?id=04313488

i now make use of use some HTML::TableExtract magic: And here i make usage of some circumscances that have to do with the color... conclusion: The Parser-job can be considered to be done yet! Now i have to work on the saving in the database!


see the code that does all the fuzz

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict; use warnings;
use HTML::TableExtract;
use YAML;

my $te = HTML::TableExtract->new( attribs => {
    border => 0,
    bgcolor => '#EFEFEF',
    leftmargin => 15,
    topmargin => 5,
});

$te->parse_file('kultus-bw.html');
my ($table) = $te->tables;

for my $row ( $table->rows ) {
    cleanup(@$row);
    print "@$row\n";
}

sub cleanup {
    for ( @_ ) {
        s/\s+//;
        s/[\xa0 ]+\z//;
        s/\s+/ /g;
    }
}

See the HTML::TableExtract that does the magic!

Also, the documentation for HTML::TableExtract is available. It does what it says it does: Extracts specific tables from HTML source code. And it does that really well.

BTW: i want (need to do this with another table/site:
