Because we want links, let's get links, like this:
use strict;
use HTML::TokeParser;
parse_fresh_stream(
HTML::TokeParser->new('fresh1.html') || die $!
);
sub parse_fresh_stream {
my($stream) = @_;
while(my $a_tag = $stream->get_tag('a')) {
my $text = $stream->get_trimmed_text('/a');
printf "%s\n %s\n", $text, $a_tag->[1]{'href'} || '??';
}
return;
}But this outputs:
Fresh Air Online index.cfm Listen to Current Show http://www.npr.org/ramfiles/fa/20011011.fa.ram [...] NPR Online http://www.npr.org [email protected] mailto:[email protected] Listen to Monday - July 2, 2001 http://www.npr.org/ramfiles/fa/20010702.fa.ram Listen to Editor and writer Walter Kirn http://www.npr.org/ramfiles/fa/20010702.fa.01.ram Walter Kirn http://freshair.npr.org/guestInfoFA.cfm?name=walterkirn Listen to Casting director and actress Joanna Merlin http://www.npr.org/ramfiles/fa/20010702.fa.02.ram Joanna Merlin http://freshair.npr.org/guestInfoFA.cfm?name=joannamerlin Previous show dayFA.cfm?todayDate=06%2F29%2F2001 Next show dayFA.cfm?todayDate=07%2F03%2F2001
We got what we wanted (those three "Listen to" links are in there), but it's buried in other stuff. You see, the navigation bar on the left does consist of image links, whose ALT content shows up when we call get_trimmed_text( ) or get_text( ). We also get the mailto: link from the bottom of the navigation bar, the bio links for the guests from the paragraphs describing each segment, and the "Previous Show" and "Next Show" links.
