Need to be a application (that already exists). It seems a copy of the Fast HTML Parser unit I spoke of has made its way into the FPC source code tree.

You're right, but I change my code to use fasthtmlparser and worked
(at least for now). Thank you.

I agree. If I change something, I'll send a patch.

There is the unit fasthtmlparser included with fpc in the packages/chm
folder.
It is pretty basic and just has callbacks for tags and text. I don't
think it's smart enough to tell you of the
name="sel_x" part of your tag. Maybe it can be improved.

I know the tokens to search, but the HTML could be very different each other.
I can't use a external tool. Need to be a application (that already exists).

You're right. But I'm searching the faster HTML parser to use in huge
HTML files... thousands of files.
I disagree: it's damn difficult if one isn't working with tightly
constrained input, and the original question says HTML without
specifying it's a subset.
There's a couple of places where I parse HTML files that I've created
myself, i.e. I know exactly what's in them, using- basically- a simple
recursive-descent parser with some rather flexible ideas about comments
(i.e. in the above example, name="sel_x" could be lost as a comment).
However if I'm doing a brute-force job over a large number of files I
usually use Lynx as a preprocessor, which allows me to use standard
text-processing utilities to pull named rows out of tabulated reports.

You're right. But I'm searching the faster HTML parser to use in huge
HTML files... thousands of files.
