How can I parse the text from a specific HTML tag?

[RGBreality]

Hey, folks!

In working on my document search project, instead of displaying the file name of what the Search object found in its index search, I want to display the actual topic of that HTML page (which is more reader-friendly).

Each of these topics are in a <Div> header, such as:

<div class="Chapter_Title"><a name="510321">Setting user preferences</a></div>


They are not always "Chapter Title" markers, but are always within a Div HTML marker.

How would I parse this specific text out of the HTML file?

Thank you very much, as always!

If you have MMF2-Pro, you can use the Regular Expression object.

I have no idea how it works within MMF, but the regular expression you want is probably something like:

<div class="[^"]*"><a name="[^"]*">(.*?)</a></div>

Or if you have Standard (some guys seems to often forget people had NOT all the Developer version of MMF2.....)

Pass the text to be parsed to a .net Script input, in this case, as .net Script Input can call a .net Assembly intended to use Regular Expressions via .net Framework, and, callback by MMF2 with a .net Script Function action.
