Re^2: Extracting HTML content between the h tags

Thank you a lot! I did not know this syntax.
One more question if I dare :-)
In about 10 pages the last h2-tag is missing, so that I used the following workaround:

my @solution_2 = $content->findvalues( './h2[4]/preceding-sibling::*' 
+);
unless ( @solution_2 )
{
   @solution_2 = $content->findvalues( '//hr/preceding-sibling::*' );
}

I tried the same with your syntax as:

@solution_2 = $content->findvalues( '//hr/preceding-sibling::p[precedi
+ng-sibling::h2[3]]' );
[download]

but I get an uninitialized value only.
I understood the syntax so: "search the siblings but stop if the tag in brackets appears". Is this correct? If so, what am I doing false with the above attempt?
Spasibo!

According to your HTML `preceding-sibling` for `hr` will be `div` tag but not `p` tag... So this code will find all `p`s after last `h2`: `$p->findnodes('//h2[4]/following-sibling::p');` [download] Or (more flexible): `$p->findnodes('//h2[last()]/following-sibling::p');` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
