Wildcards in variables? #174987 15/04/07 01:59 PM

Stefan_Leroux S	Hey Guys, I'm looking for a bit of help with setting variables. I'm trying to make a script to check my status on a web page. The web page displays in this format <div class="divclass">info goes in here</div><div class="divclass2">more info goes in here</div> I have already created a script to obtain the html from the page, but I need some way to set the information into variables. I need to know if its possible to set a variable starting after the <div class="divclass"> and ending at the </div>, or even to set the entire variable and $remove the div classes. I've used this method before, but because of this web-page the class doesnt start at the beginning of the line, so I cant just set the entire line as the variable and $remove, because theres too many variables in the line. Thanks

I picked it up myself from another script a long time ago.) alias nohtml { var %x, %i = $regsub($1-,/(^[^<]>\|<[^>]>\|<[^>]*$)/g,$null,%x), %x = $remove(%x, ) \| return %x } This command will remove the HTML tags. So therefore turning "<div class="something">Hello There</div>" info "Hello There". $nohtml(<html><span>Text Here.</span></html>) = Text Here. =p

Stefan_Leroux S	Well, not quite what I need at this point. That will still leave me with lots of bunk and not just the litlle bit i need. I wish the site was a cleaner layout, but well, its not mines . But HTML remover is perfect for other stuff, so cheers anyway mate.

Code: var %in = <div class="divclass">info goes in here</div><div class="divclass2">more info goes in here</div> noop $regex(div,%in,/<div class="divclass">(.*?)</div>/i) var %var1 = $regml(div,1) (regex untested) -genius_at_work
