Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Multiline html tag parse shell script Post 303040300 by SorcRR on Saturday 26th of October 2019 06:14:13 AM

RudiC, i'm not dropping it, because i need to get other texts out of the html, but for the example sakes, yes that would make it more optimized.
I have 5 more texts that i'm matching and making the output into a csv file.
The html from which i'm parsing is built up very poorly.

Actual code snippet:
Code:
<p class="margin-bottom-0">
											Diameter: 2<br>
Width [cm]: 4<br>Accessories: no<br>Material: metal<br>										</p>

so as you can see it has a lot of spaces, and new lines at the end and beginning.
Your solution doesn't deal with those so i came up with this:

Code:
text=$(printf "%s" "$siteSource" | sed -n '/<p class="margin-bottom-0">/,/<\/p/ {
            /<p class="margin-bottom-0">.*\/div>/b
            s/ *<[^>]*> *//g
            /^$/d
            p
            }' | awk '{$1=$1};1' | tr ',' ';' | tr -d "\n\r" )

Since i need this all in one line or else the csv file will broke (just realized this) had to get rid of the new lines tr -d "\n\r"
I' removing the extra whitespaces at the beginning and end awk '{$1=$1};1'
Also for csv proofing i'm replacing the commas with semicolon because csv will interpret commas as end of column tr ',' ';'
So this makes me wonder if that one sed could do all these by on it's own.
But i'm happy now because this works now.

Thanks!

Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::EncodeGuess(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation	       Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::EncodeGuess(3pm)

NAME
Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::EncodeGuess - Text::CSV::Encoded coder class using Encode::Guess SYNOPSIS
use Text::CSV::Encoded coder_class => 'Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::EncodeGuess'; use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel; my $csv = Text::CSV::Encoded->new(); $csv->encoding( ['ucs2', 'ascii'] ); # guessing ucs2 or ascii? $csv->encoding_to_combine('shiftjis'); my $excel = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook->Parse( $file ); my $sheet = $excel->{Worksheet}->[0]; for my $row ( $sheet->{MinRow} .. $sheet->{MaxRow} ) { my @fields; for my $col ( $sheet->{MinCol} .. $sheet->{MaxCol} ) { my $cell = $sheet->{Cells}[$row][$col]; push @fields, $cell->{Val}; } $csv->combine( @fields ) or die; print $csv->string, " "; } DESCRIPTION
This module is inherited from Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::Encode. USE
Except for 2 attributes, same as Text::CSV::Encoded::Coder::Encode. encoding_in $csv = $csv->encoding_in( $encoding_list_ref ); The accessor to an encoding for pre-parsing CSV strings. If no encoding is given, returns current $encoding, otherwise the object itself. $encoding_list_ref = $csv->encoding_in() When you pass a list reference, it might guess the encoding from the given list. $csv->encoding_in( ['shiftjis', 'euc-jp', 'iso-20022-jp'] ); If it cannot guess the encoding, the first encoding of the list is used. encoding $csv = $csv->encoding( $encoding_list_ref ); $encoding_list_ref = $csv->encoding(); You can pass a list reference to this attribute only: * For list data consumed by combine(). * For list reference returned by getline(). In other word, in "combine" and "print", it might guess an encoding for the passing list data. If it cannot guess the encoding, the first encoding of the list is used. SEE ALSO
