Solved: filename url - muliple entries from same line

JAR · Posted 07-14-2013 03:42 AM

Hi,

I need help to read one url file into a varible called record.

</h1><br/><h2 class="pageTitle entryTitle">test<span class="homograph">1</span></h2>

/*output:*/

Record

</h1>

<br/>

test

1

</span>

</h2>

Ideally, I want only "test" and "1". If someone can help me to read either the whole items or non-html-tag portion it will be highly appreciated.

Regards,

Jijil

Or try this one:

data want;
 infile 'd:\temp\x.html' lrecl=20000 dsd dlm='<>';
 input @'>' x : $200. @@;
 if not missing(x);
run;

Hi:

Can you show the code that you've tried that produces the output? Also, can you provide an example of your FILENAME url program? Without a context for your snippet (which is only part of an HTML page) it is hard to provide constructive suggestions. Typically, an HTML page, such as you would read with the FILENAME method is a complete syntactically correct HTML page -- with a DOCTYPE,, an <HTML> tag, a <HEAD> container, a <BODY> container, etc. You only show a snippet from an HTML file. What program did you run to get from the snippet to the output that you show?

Dear Cynthia,

here is the code (after filename url)

data Test;

length Record $1000;

infile foo lrecl=32700;

input;

do until (_Top);

_Top=find(_infile_,'<article>');

if not _Top then input;

end;

do until (_Bottom);

input;

_Bottom=find(_infile_,' </article>');

if _Bottom then STOP;

else do;

Record=_infile_;

/*This removes all the html tag*/

*rx1=prxparse("s/<.*?>//");

*call prxchange(rx1,99,Record);

output;

end;

Drop _:;

Drop rx1;

run;

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the html sample (as it is huge, I have taken only a portion of it).

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" id="mainContent"><header><h1 class="entryType">Definition of <b>test</b> in English

</h1><br/><h2 class="pageTitle entryTitle">test<span class="homograph">1</span></h2><div class="entryPronunciation headpron">Pronunciation: <a href="http://oxforddictionaries.com/words/key-to-pronunciation"> /tɛst/</a></div>........

</article>

I believe Tom's answer will work. However, thanks in advance for any insight your can throw.

Is this what you're after?

Tom

data stuff;
length ResultText $16;
TestString = '</h1><br/><h2 class="pageTitle entryTitle">test<span class="homograph">1</span></h2>';
prxid = prxparse('S/(<[^>]*>)/|/');
TestString2 = prxchange(prxid, -1, TestString);

do i=1 to count(TestString2, "|") + 1;
ResultText=scan(TestString2, i, '|');

if ^missing(ResultText) then
output;
end;
run;
