Web site parsing?
Posted: December 3rd, 2011, 6:47 pm
Hi,
I have a little problem which probably could be solved with parsing. I generated 30 000 links and I would like to make a list of all links which contain a certain string of text. The thing is that I want to download certain videos but I can't because there is no way to reveal the video source links but I found out how to generate the site links which contain the direct links to the video source (flv files) but still I would have to go through all the links to find the video links I need but I remembered the awesome web parsing feature Rainmeter has to extract certain data from a website and display it but in my case I just need to compare the web site code to a defined string of text and if it matches (if the web site code contains this string) make a copy of the link to a .txt file or something like that. So Rainmeter wouldn't probably be the best choice for this kind of work, but I hoped since it is implemented in Rainmeter, somebody could help me by providing links to tools, guides, etc. which I could use to accomplish my goal.
Thanks in advance!
