Subject: Re: CFHTTP
Well, I am having a bear of a time with this. All I simply want to do is
grab a little weather info off their page, but can't find a way to do it. I
have looked at the previous custom tags in the gallery, but none seem to do
what I want. The major problem is that the info on their site is not
separated by any special character, so I can't set the start and end points
for the grab from the CFHTTP very easily. Anyone see an easy way to grab say
just the temp off this page?
http://www.weather.com/weather/us/zips/91350.html
I just want whatever digits which are between the phrase "Temp:" and the
degree sign. The problem is that there is a whole crapload of code in the
source between those two strings. Any help?
