perl lwp find word and print next word :)
hi all, I'm new there, I'm just playing with perl and lwp and I just successfully created a script for log in to a web site with post. I have a response but I would like to have something like this:

I have in my response lines like:
HTML Code:
	<div class="sender">mimi020</div>
<some html code.....>
<div class="sender">jane01</div>
..and so on
so 1. search for every "sender" word
2. print
"mimi020"
"jane01"

how to do that? thank you for your help Smilie

Code:
while (<>) {  # reads STDIN, put a different handle here if you want
  if (/<div class="sender">(.*)<\/div>$/) {
    print "\"$1\"\n";   # prints with " symbols
    print "$1\n";        # prints without " symbols
  }
}

As your html scraping needs evolve, you'll definitely want to follow the advice @
perlfaq6 - How do I match XML, HTML, or other nasty, ugly things with a regex?

If Smiling Dragon's suggestion works for you, keep in mind that it can only handle a single instance of that pattern per line.

Regards and welcome to the forum,

hi, thank you for your answer but I'm not sure how to use it,

is this ok?

HTML Code:
while ($response2->content()) {  # reads STDIN, put a different handle here if you want
  if (/<div class="sender">(.*)<\/div>$/) {
    print "\"$1\"\n";   # prints with " symbols
    print "$1\n";        # prints without " symbols
  }
}
it gives me an (infinity?) errors
HTML Code:
Use of uninitialized value $_ in pattern match (m//) at p2.pl line 103, <> line 1.
so what am I doing wrong?

ok I got it:
PHP Code:
my $html = $response2->content;
  while( $html =~ m/<div class="sender">(.*)<\/div>/g) {   
 # print "\"$1\"\n"; # prints with " symbols
      print "$1\n";  # prints without " symbols
  } 
thank you anyway!
