Hello Robert,
Wow! Thank you! This is VERY helpful! I'm going to start writing and trying
this next week.
Cool how you found the COM object, but I'm also going to try your REGEX idea
as well.
Kind Regards,
Rick Sanders

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.
---------------------------[snip]------------------------------
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.
