How can i extract the text from HTML tag?
Example :
<h3><b><a name="F5">Family SUV / Wagon</a></b></h3>
<h4>Mitsubishi Outlander or similar</h4>
<ul>
<li>4 door SUV</li>
<li><b>Auto</b>, Power Steering, MP3/CD player</li>
<li>Air Conditioning</li>
<li>
I want to extract to be an XML file like
<name>Mitsubishi Outlander or similar</name>
<desc>Family Suv</desc>
can someone help me with the filter?

Use an EasyPattern search/replace with Extract option turned on.
Replace variable sections with:
[ capture(1+ chars) as 'car' ]

Hi asoydah
I made for You filter in TextPipe.
Download it here:
http://plikojad.pl/bbg79d7lxszl (cars.rar > unzip to cars.fll and open it)
Result:
Code: Select all
<cars>
<name>Mitsubishi Outlander or similar</name>
<desc>Family SUV / Wagon</desc>
<option>4 door SUV</option>
<option><b>Auto</b>, Power Steering, MP3/CD player</option>
<option>Air Conditioning</option>
</cars>

No it works! Oh gosh...
You must click twice! (first on the link and next on the file cars.rar)
But ok don't worry try now click this directly link:
