I need to extract the indicted (bold & underlined) numbers from lines coming
off web pages.
Of course I don't know ahead of time the location or length of the number.
What I do know
is the tag "Friends", and "Reviews", etc. In fact, it would be good to end up
with
Value Variable
108 Friends
151 Reviews
5 Review Updates
NA First <-- assuming here that "First" did not show up
on an line
etc.
Of particular trouble is line [7] which requires extracting 3 numbers 2022
(Useful), 1591 (Funny) and 1756 (Cool).
============== Extraction problem lines ===========
[1] "\t\t\t<li id=\"friendCount\"><a
