Dear Friends I am learning perl and trying to use it in my project. I want to extract data from content in html files. But, I want to ignore tables & images from html files. I used HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath for html parsing, but could not find a way to specifically ignore certain tags. I also thought of greping out the lines between opening and closing tags, but it broke some other html tags. How can I ignore such tags from html file and then get the text content of that file? Thanks in advance for your help and time. Best Regards ganesh

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
