I'm moving a Forum from flat HTML pages into a Filemaker database, and then maybe into something quicker
I have 800-odd Forum postings that I have to transfer over into a database, and it's killing me to do it by hand The required text is always bookended the same way, so a search for text (the posting) bounded by text strings (the HTML) would get the data I need to extract the following: * filename * name * date * subject * body A sample page old page is at: http://www.bolide.co.uk/bbs/messages/246.html The new, 90% complete, Forum is at http://www.bolide.co.uk/actions?forum.taf I've tried a search & replace on the files using BBEdit, but the samll differences in text wrapping and content mean I can't get it to work. I've tried (and failed) to AppleScript a batch import into Filemaker, but even if I did that I'd have problems parsing & extracting the text I'm not a good enough programmer to whisk something up to parse a folder full of HTML files - any suggestions? Many thanks! ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text/US ASCII email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe witango-talk in the message body
