mouser:
ewe is being modest as always.. it's not "possibly related", it's actually a plugin that ewemoa made that is exactly what you want.

ewemoa:
The version of Webgrab mentioned in the aforementioned topic is dated.  Below is a link to one that seems to work for some cases:

  http://ewemoa.dcmembers.com/tmp/Webgrab.zip

Usage:

  webgrab <url> {<regular-expression>} "<template-string>"

Example:
         
  webgrab http://www.weather.com/weather/local/08080 {<div class="ccTemp">(\d+)} "Temperature in your town is %1 degrees"

--- End quote ---

If there is interest, perhaps this version can be modified appropriately or a separate implementation can be attempted.

mouser:
I think webgrab would have to be modified to optionally display the result in html mode, as it currently tries to display results in memo mode.

<mouser> what you need is an option to allow it to output to html mode
<mouser> you could simply autodetect by looking for one of some common text
<mouser> like
<mouser> <p> <a href or <div or <ul
<mouser> if any of those are found, use the showhtml
<mouser> instead of showmemo

mouser:
also this would be a perfect case where pcommand would be useful -- so that one doesnt have to change the search text with restartsearch in order to trigger it.

ewemoa:
mouser found plenty of things to improve in the latest available version so I'm working on addressing some of those things.

Hope to have some news on this before long.
