Well thanks for your question, Rick, it got me on a path on google,
where I found what I was looking for, done for me.
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/ablavier/TidyCOM/
A com object, that uses tidy. So, if it works in witango, ask me in a
couple days, you can use <@url to get a string of html, and pass it
through tidycom, to get xml output, parse with witango dom, and get
your values. Should be simple and reliable.

Hey John,

Trying to build a search engine spider. I want to grab the
html file using the <@URL> tag, then omit everything but the
title, keywords, and description and throw it into the database.

I just want to know if this is possible to do this solely with
WiTango. Basically, I'm in a battle with Microsoft Content
Management Server. See, MCMS doesn't have search capability because
Microsoft closed the database. So, I am grabbing the MCMS postings
using an XML control (CMS Rapid) and the posting comes out in HTML.
I want to take the HTML, parse the data I need out of it, throw it
in a database, and query it.
Mondo Search is $10,800.00 first year, and $1800.00 the second &
third year. There's no control to use Coveo with MCMS. So, I want
to build a custom search interface with WiTango.
Thanks!
Rick

Hey Bill,
Thanks for the link!
But, I'd still love to do this completely in WiTango.

I'm a broken record on this, but here goes:
http://www.swish-e.org has a very nice perl spider which will do
this for you (well, you'll have to write a perl calback function
to INSERT INTO (link, title, keywords, description).
But the nice thing about this is that it's already integrated
with an HMTL parser, to pull this out for you.

I know I can do this with other platforms, but would like to do
it with WiTango.
