I would like to know if there is a simple way to parse HTML in vb.net. I know that HTML is not sctrict subset of XML, but it would be nice if it could be treated that way.

Extract part of a regex match

I want a regular expression to extract the title from a HTML page. Currently I have this: title = re.search('<title>.*</title>', html, re.IGNORECASE).group() if title: title = title.replace('<title>', '').replace('</title>', '') Is there a regular expression to extract just the contents of <title> so I don't have to remove the tags? Use ( ) in regexp and group(1) in python to retrieve the captured string ( re.search will return None if it doesn't find the result, so don't use group() directly ): title_search = re.search('<title>(.*)</title>', html, re.IGNORECASE) if title_search: title = title

问题 I want to parse some HTML in order to find the values of some attributes/tags etc. What HTML parsers do you recommend? Any pros and cons? 回答1: NekoHTML, TagSoup, and JTidy will allow you to parse HTML and then process with XML tools, like XPath. 回答2: I have tried HTML Parser which is dead simple. 回答3: Do you need to do a full parse of the HTML? If you're just looking for specific values within the contents (a specific tag/param), then a simple regular expression might be enough, and could

问题 I would like to extract from a general HTML page, all the text (displayed or not). I would like to remove any HTML tags Any javascript Any CSS styles Is there a regular expression (one or more) that will achieve that? 回答1: You can't really parse HTML with regular expressions. It's too complex. RE's won't handle <![CDATA[ sections correctly at all. Further, some kinds of common HTML things like <text> will work in a browser as proper text, but might baffle a naive RE. You'll be happier and

问题 Basically, I want to use BeautifulSoup to grab strictly the visible text on a webpage. For instance, this webpage is my test case. And I mainly want to just get the body text (article) and maybe even a few tab names here and there. I have tried the suggestion in this SO question that returns lots of <script> tags and html comments which I don\'t want. I can\'t figure out the arguments I need for the function findAll() in order to just get the visible texts on a webpage. So, how should I find

Extracting text from HTML file using Python

问题 I\'d like to extract the text from an HTML file using Python. I want essentially the same output I would get if I copied the text from a browser and pasted it into notepad. I\'d like something more robust than using regular expressions that may fail on poorly formed HTML. I\'ve seen many people recommend Beautiful Soup, but I\'ve had a few problems using it. For one, it picked up unwanted text, such as JavaScript source. Also, it did not interpret HTML entities. For example, I would expect '
