Is the script below missing a - put "</title>" into endTag?
If so then I can get past that part to then try and grasp the next part of it.
I am trying to understand it and can't figure it out yet.....

You've got a couple options (at least):

1) Use regex, see matchText and match on something like "<text>(.*)</text>"
2) Use offset(), as you imagined, something like:


put "<title>" into startTag
put offset(startTag, theHTML) into startOffset
if (startOffset > 0) then
put offset(endTag, theHTML, startOffset + length(startTag) - 1) into endOffset
if (endOffset > 0) then
put char startOffset to (startOffset + endOffset - 1) of theHTML into theTitle
end if
end if

I was wondering if the itemDelimiter can be more than one character? I mean instead of "," or ":" can it be "<!--display paragraphs-->" ?
If the answer is NO then can someone help me understand how to sift through the html below to just extract the title text and the 2 paragraph texts? I know I can offset("<title>") field "HTML" but then what can I do to extract the text after that?
It may be obvious but for the life of me I can't 'see' it.
