[BUY] Need to identify some regex for data recognition (pay hourly)

[whoami 26]

Hello guys..

I am using aymen HTTP Post plugin to GET data from an URL, I need to parse data into variables. I dont really have regex expertise but I might learn from this.

I need to scrape 2 pages, and example of the data to get is:

<li>
<strong>Created:</strong>
January 19, 2012
</li>
<li>
<strong>Type:</strong>
Networking Group
</li>
<li>
<strong>Members:</strong>
2
</li>
</ul>

There are like 12 fields of data in total.

Please post how many time it might take you, I pay via Paypal first if you are not new member.

I highly recommend you look into xpath for that kind of stuff. For a lot of HTML / XML scraping that works a lot better than regex.

If it is just that simple then hang on a minute and I'll give you a template to use.

There are many ways to do this. But all of them start with xpath parser first to isolate the unordered list. I used regex here but I am sure there are other ways to do it like adding them into a list or using xpath again.

comment("example using standard ul")
set(#html, "<ul>
<li>
<strong>Created:</strong>
January 19, 2012
</li>
<li>
<strong>Type:</strong>
Networking Group
</li>
<li>
<strong>Members:</strong>
2
</li>
</ul>", "Global")
set(#target_data, $trim($plugin function("HTTP post.dll", "$xpath parser", #html, "//ul/li", "InnerText")), "Global")
set(#created, $find regular expression(#target_data, "(?<=Created\\:\\n).*"), "Global")
comment("Now just replace \"Created\" with \"Type\" or anything else")
set(#type, $find regular expression(#target_data, "(?<=Type\\:\\n).*"), "Global")
set(#members, $find regular expression(#target_data, "(?<=Members\\:\\n).*"), "Global")
