Extraction from HTML Page for inclusion in CSV

[insidemagic]

Hi:

I am evaluating textpipe and webpipe. I have 1300 articles written and published in html that I want to move into a Drupal site so I need to load them into mysql. I tried mark the portions of the source code for each page by things like <!-- item --> // <!-- enditem --> and <!-- content --> //<!-- endcontent -->.

I confess that I am not bright but at least I'm lazy. I want to be able to process through the webpages, pull out the text (html code) in between the ad hoc section markers and put them into a CSV file in separate columns headed by the description so all of the content for a given article would be in the column "Content" and the title for the same article would be under "Title" etc.

Is there a way to do this? I appreciate any help at all. The two products have blown me away with their stability and power. Outstanding!

BTW, I could avoid all of this if there was a way to convert my web pages into rss to input into Drupal.

Thank you in advance for any thoughts or suggestions!

Hi Tim,

Are these the only two markers?

If so, a judicous search/replace can do it. Can you email us a sample file so we can show you how?
