hi SteinerKD,

First of all a lecture. :-)

Read the advice you were given in the previous thread. If you don't post code that monks can run you can end up in hot water and you'll be scolded. You might know what you mean but you can't expect anyone else to know unless you tell them. A link to the previous thread might have been helpful. puts his mortar and gown back in the cupboard

Now, what we need is some idea of what the HTML you'll be parsing looks like. Either a link to a page, or better, a stripped down example omitting stuff we don't need to know about (style sheets, scripts, formating attributes, etc.). In fact, having a bare bones skeleton of the HTML you are working with will help identify the best way to parse it. This is certainly the case during development/testing and it is the first thing I do. There might even be a Perl module near you that could help. :-) Give an example of the output you need.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
