This information will pull weather data from accuweather.com for Dryden Ontario (Canada)
<!-- First I set the Variable that is at the begining of where I want to start ---> <CFSET variables.start = "<!-- 5 DAY HTML START -->"> <!-- Then I set the variable to get where it all ends (I want all the information between these two places ---> <CFSET variables.end = "<!-- 5 DAY HTML END -->"> <!--- now I go ahead and cfhttp for the url I am wanting information on ---> <CFHTTP URL="http://www.accuweather.com/adcbin/intlocal_index?wxcity2=DRYDEN&wxcount ry=CA;ON&metric=0" RESOLVEUL="true" throwonerror="true"></cfhttp> <!-- All information retrieved from CFHTTP is put into the variable cfhttp.filecontent we call it variables.original_content ---> <CFSET variables.orginal_content = "#cfhttp.filecontent#"> <!--- Now I want to Find the start place of the content (this will get us a number)---> <CFSET variables.edit_content = RefindNoCase('#variables.start#', variables.orginal_content)> <!-- Next do the same for the ENDING of the content you are looking for ---> <CFSET variables.final_edit_content = RefindNoCase('#variables.end#', variables.orginal_content, variables.edit_content)> <!--- now just parse out the information in between and put it into variables.final_content ---> <CFSET variables.final_content = mid(variables.orginal_content, variables.edit_content, variables.final_edit_content-198-variables.edit_content)> <!--- Walla, you have weather for dryden ---> <CFOUTPUT> #variables.final_content# </CFOUTPUT> Hope this helps... take a look at the orginial url and it's content and it will hopefully make more sense... basically the whole html file is retrieved, and you just look for a starting point and an ending point and strip out everything outside of that.
