Rob,

This may be a bug that was recently (July 28) fixed:

Bug #995703 Parser Crash and bug #988846 Linkbean getLinks() segmentation fault
by not testing for content type "text/XXX" in Page, but rather issuing a warning when this is
discovered by the Parser level.

What's the exception message? Is it "...does not contain text"?
If so, either download a new version or remove the test in Page.java:

          type = getContentType ();
-         if (type != null && !type.startsWith ("text"))
-             throw new ParserException (
-                 "URL "
-                 + connection.getURL ().toExternalForm ()
-                 + " does not contain text");
          charset = getCharset (type);
          try

Okay, I seem to have figured out how to make the parser do what I need, 
except for one small issue - if the files have a .xml extension it 
throws an exception saying the file "does not contain text".  If I 
append .html onto it, things work fine.

Is there a way to make the parser accept .xml as a valid file extension?

Thanks,
Rob.

Curtney,

The tag.getName () will return the matched name from your list of ids:

    for (int i = 0; i < list.size (); i++)
    {
        PublicationTag tag = (PublicationTag)list.elementAt (i);
        if (tag.getName ().equals ("TITLE"))
            ... do title processing...
        else if (tag.getName ().equals ("SUBTITLE"))
            ... do subtitle processing...

I don't think the other way would work (but I didn't check).

Yep, I tried a filter and that worked.

One more thing, is possible to set a general tag, (i.e PublicationTags) that
would hold all tags of interest, then somehow iterate through each custom
tag extracting it content? The code would look something like the following:

public class PublicationTags extends CompositeTag {

 public PublicationTags() {
  super();
 }


 public String[] getIds() {
  return new String[] {"TITLE","SUBTITLE", "ABSTRACT"};
 }

}


NodeList list = parser.extractAllNodesThatMatch (new NodeClassFilter
(PublicationTag.class));

How would I iterate through list to get the title, subtitle, and abstract
content from the above?

OR

should I be thinking something like the following instead

 String [] publicationTags = {"TITLE","SUBTITLE","ABSTRACT"};
        TagFindingVisitor visitor = new TagFindingVisitor (publicationTags);
        parser.visitAllNodesWith (visitor);

Node titleTags = visitor.getTags(0);
Node subtitleTag = visitor.getTags(1);
Node abstractTag = visitor.getTags(2);


Thanks,

_Curtney

Curtney,

If you just want to discard the markup, I might be tempted to use a 
filter again...
    NodeList nl = tag.getChildren ();
    NodeList justText = nl.extractAllNodesThatMatch (new NodeClassFilter 
(TextNode.class));
    // you are using version 1.5 right? otherwise the class would be 
StringNode I think
    System.out.println (justText);

But if you want a newline wherever there's a <p>, you need to do it your 
way and check if it breaks flow,
like <b></b> doesn't cause a newline:

    while (ni.hasMoreNodes ())
    {
        Node childNode = ni.nextNode();
        if (childNode instanceof TagNode)
        {
            if (((TagNode)childNode).breaksFlow ())
                System.out.println ();
        }
        else
            System.out.print (childNode.toPlainTextString());
    }

Thanks Derrick, that worked nicely. I realize that my <abstract> tag will
also contain one or more <p> tags. Currently, I am doing the following to
extract the content from those tags.

Is the following an efficient way of  doing this.

if (tag instanceof CompositeTag) {
                //get a list of p tags, etc, that may contain content
                NodeList nl = tag.getChildren();
                if (nl != null) {
                     NodeIterator ni = nl.elements();
                     while (ni.hasMoreNodes()) {
                          Node childNode = ni.nextNode();
                          System.out.println ("text: " +
childNode.toPlainTextString());
                     }

                }

}

Curtney,

I think you want to create a custom composite tag and register it with 
the parser since you want the contents *between* the <abstract> and the 
</abstract>. I would use a filter but your TagFindingVisitor should work 
as well:

class Abstract extends CompositeTag { public String[] getIds () { return (new String[] { "ABSTRACT" }); } }

...

        factory = new PrototypicalNodeFactory ();
        factory.registerTag (new Abstract ()); // add your custom tag
        parser.setNodeFactory (factory);
        NodeList list = parser.extractAllNodesThatMatch (new NodeClassFilter (Abstract.class));
        AbstractTag abstract = (AbstractTag)list.elementAt (0);
        TextNode text = abstract.getChildren ().elementAt (0); // might not be the first one if markup exists
        System.out.println (text.getText ());

Greetings!

I am having problems parsing a custom tag, <abstract></abstract>. I have 
followed the wiki example and was still unable to parse the tag. Only the the 
tag name is returened (i.e abstract). The following is what my code looks 
like. Also, if there is a better way of wrting the following code, please 
show me. Thanks.

.
.

.
.
//extract the title content
Parser parser = new Parser (f.getPath());
Nodes nodes[] = parser.extractAllNodesThatAre (TitleTag.class);
TitleTag node = (TitleTag) nodes[0];
String title = node.getTitle();


String[] abstractTag = {"abstract"};
String summary = null;
TagFindingVisitor visitor = new TagFindingVisitor (abstractTag, true);
parser.reset();
parser.visitAllNodesWith (visitor);
Node [] abstractNodes = visitor.getTags(0);
Node summaryNode = (Node)abstractNodes[0];
summary = summaryNode.getText();
.

Rob,

I haven't had any problems parsing XML with htmlparser.
An example is provided for parsing RSS feeds which are XML:
    http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/RSSFeeds

Rob:

Your input is XML.  You should use an XML parser like xerces
http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/index.html
to parse it.

I've been using the HTMLParser to parse html pages up until now (works 
great by the way), but I was just given a small new project to parse a 
set of marked up files.  Basically info in tags.

The files contain blocks (many per file) like this:

<listing id="324" key="xyz">
    <name>random name</name>
    <lineBlock heading="header1">
       <line lineNum="1">contents of the line</line>
       <line lineNum="2">more line contents</line>
    </lineBlock>
</listing>

and so on...

I tried just re-using some of the code I was using for parsing html 
(added some custom tags to handle the specific tags I'm dealing with), 
but it didn't work at first pass.  Not sure why, nothing obvious stands out.

Can I use the parser (or would the lexer be better) to do this at all? 
Or am I trying to fit a square peg in a round hole?

Thanks,
Rob.

Thanks, that's all i needed :)

HTML parser is not really set up for synthesis, being primarily for data =

The answer you got from eastenchild is about as good as it gets, unless=20

like:

    Parser parser =3D new Parser ("http://whatever.com");
    NodeList contents =3D new NodeList ();
    for (NodeIterator iterator =3D parser.elements ();=20

        contents.add (iterator.nextNode ());
    // pull out the <SELECT> tag
    NodeFilter filter =3D new AndFilter (new TagNameFilter ("select"), =
new=20
HasAttributeFilter ("name", "myselect"));
    Node select =3D contents.extractAllNodesThatMatch (filter).elementAt =

    // create the node to be added

Bikramjit,

Yes, the htmlparser has relative to absolute URL conversion. In the 1.42 =

version this logic is in the org.htmlparser.util.LinkProcessor class,=20
while in the version 1.5 code stream it is encapsulated in the=20
org.htmlparser.lexer.Page class. I recommend the 1.5 version.

If you don't need to convert from absolute to local, there is an example =

easily adapted to your requirements by adjusting

to basically do nothing (i.e. simply return the link) and altering=20

Hi,
I am a WebSphere Portal Developer and have a situation where I need to 
retrieve external weeb applications in small portlet windows.
Everything would have been fine but once the web page is retreived into my 
portlet window and I click on a link(say a href) the relative
link breaks.The problem is definately because the links and images are set 
relative in the originating remote server.
Does the html parser project has any api and method which would help to

I shall be extremely gratefull if some one posts a code snippet(if th api

hi,I feel it is quite powerful to read a html file to get information we want,but not so simple to modify or add something we need. I'm not very experienced in using the parser.here is a relatively primitive approach.        

	try
    {
      Parser parser = new Parser("test.htm");  //contains a select node.
	  //get all select nodes
      TagNameFilter filter = new TagNameFilter("select");
      NodeList selects = parser.extractAllNodesThatMatch(filter);

	  //use a list to store the new items 
      NodeList lstOptions = new NodeList();

	  //the select node we want to modify
      TagNode node=null;
      for(int i=0;i<selects.size();i++)
      {
        node = (TagNode)selects.elementAt(i);

        if(!node.getAttribute("name").equalsIgnoreCase("myselect"))
          continue;

        //add a new option tag
        CompositeTag newNode = new CompositeTag();
        newNode.setTagName("option");

        //set the end tag
        LabelTag endTag = new LabelTag();
        endTag.setText("</option>");
        newNode.setEndTag(endTag);

        newNode.setAttribute("value", "testvalue");
        newNode.setAttribute(new Attribute("selected",null,null));

        TextNode txtNode = new TextNode("testvalue");  //testvalue or something

		//use a list to store the single text node
        NodeList lstChild = new NodeList();
        lstChild.add(txtNode);

		//now the option node created with a option tag
        newNode.setChildren(lstChild);

		//add to the list 
		//on above we add one option tag,you can add more.
		//All of the should be added to the list
        lstOptions.add(newNode);
      }
	  
	  //set as the select node's childs
      node.setChildren(lstOptions);

      //the following code show the result
      Node theRoot=null;
      Node root = node.getParent();
      while (root != null)
      {
        theRoot = root;
        root = root.getParent();
      }
	  
	  //we can also save it to a htm file
      System.out.println(theRoot.toHtml());
      
      
     
    }catch(Exception ex)
    {
      System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
    }


The test.htm file is quite simple.It's like this.  

<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
  <table width="200" border="1">
    <tr>
      <td>
	  <select name="myselect">
        <option value="Mary" selected>Mary</option>
        <option value="Jack">Jack</option>        
      </select>
	  </td>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>
</body>


I hope this would be helpful.

Regards.

qt,


IMO, the better approach to extracting text is using a visitor.
Here's how you can solve you problem:

1. use the class RegexMatchingVisitor that I have attached with this
mail. 

2. Then the following program demonstrates how you can extract the
number you want to.
Note that for thisproblem I have created a regex matchign visitor
(which is my custom visitor), 
but depending on the exact nature ofthe problem you can create
appropriate visitors. 

-------------------------- Class for testing RegexMatchingVisitor
-----------------------

import test.util.*;

/**
 * @author Amol
 *
 * TODO To change the template for this generated type comment go to
 * Window - Preferences - Java - Code Style - Code Templates
 */
public class ExtractStringNode {

	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
		Parser parser = new Parser();
		String filename = "deleteme.html";
		
		if (args.length > 0 && args[0] != null) {
			filename = args[0];
		}

                               // HTMLParserUtils is just a simple
class that reads a file and returns the string contents. 
                               //           in your case you would be
reading from a URL, so this statement may be irrelevant.
                               //            Nevertheless, I have
attached HTMLParserUtils java file also.
		parser.setInputHTML(HTMLParserUtils.fileToString(filename));

		
                               // create a RegexMatchingVisitor for the
pattern ddd-ddd-ddd-ddd where d is a digit.
		RegexMatchingVisitor regexMatchingVisitor = new
RegexMatchingVisitor("[0-9]{3}[-][0-9]{3}[-][0-9]{3}[-][0-9]{3}",
true);
		parser.visitAllNodesWith(regexMatchingVisitor);

                               // iterate over all the matching
ddd-ddd-ddd-ddd strings in the text nodes.
		for (int i=0,
iSize=regexMatchingVisitor.getExtractedTextList().size(); i<iSize; i++)
{
			System.out.println(regexMatchingVisitor.getExtractedTextList().get(i));
		}
	}
}

-------------------------- End Class for testing RegexMatchingVisitor
-----------------------


The class RegexMatchingVisitor is adapted from the
TextExtractingVisitor class that is provided with the HTMLparser
distribution.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
~ amol

whats missing in this code can seem to find the
StringNodes

package test;

import org.htmlparser.Node;

import org.htmlparser.Parser;
import org.htmlparser.StringNodeFactory;
import org.htmlparser.Text;
import org.htmlparser.tags.CompositeTag;
import org.htmlparser.tags.TableTag;



public class Htmlget {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		try{
			Parser parser  = new Parser();
		
			Node nodes [] =
parser.extractAllNodesThatAre(TableTag.class);
			//			   Get the first table found
			TableTag table = (TableTag)nodes[0];
			//Text[] test = table.digupStringNode("Name");
			//			   Find the position of Name.
			StringNode[] stringNodes = 
table.digupStringNode("Name");
			StringNode name = stringNodes[0];
			//			   We assume that the first node that matched
is the one we want. We
			//			   navigate to its parent, the column tag <td>
			CompositeTag td = name.getParent();
			
			//			   From the parent, we shall find out the
position of "Name"
			int posOfName = td.findPositionOf(name);

			//			   Its easy now to navigate to John Doe, as we
know it is 3 positions away
			Node expectedName = td.childAt(posOfName + 3);

		}catch(Exception e){
			System.out.println(e.toString());
		}


		
	}
}
