stripping characters...

 [1/3] from: uvaghela::egain::com at: 5-Jun-2001 22:31


I am new to Rebol and I need help with parsing. I parse a web page down to a numeric value say 2.5. At times, this value is in italics and has a tag <i> therefore it appears as <i>2.5 How can I check for the existence and if present, remove the tag?

parse/all read http://your-url-here [ some [ ; to repeat parsing ... to <i> here: ; mark the current position (for i 1 3 1 [remove here]) ; execute rebol code ... :here ; return back into parse context marking from where should we start ... ] to end ] I just hope it will work, it is quite some time I used such "complicated" parse statements :-)) PS: and if you want to use just one line: write %my-site.html replace/all read http://my-site.html "<i>" "" REBOL rulezzz!!! Cheers, -pekr-

Petr, Thanks for the response. I took the shotgun approach and stripped all <i>'s at the beginning. UV
