Psychotix 0 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hi Does anyone have special tricks to autocreate paragraphs from ezinearticles scrapes? Like a regex trick or something?Im using $findstory. If not where do you guys scrape from? One with clean text like ezine, but with paragraphs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UBotBuddy 331 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 If you look at this article at EZA http://ezinearticles.com/?Bathroom-Furniture---Mold-Problem-and-Its-Solutions&id=5835181 Scroll down until you see "Share this Article" box. In there you will see a link to EzinePublisher. Click that and you will see two large textboxes; one for Plain Text and the other for HTML. Depending on what I need I will scrape from either of those two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Psychotix 0 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I reconfigured my scraper to work. But I just want to actual article and not the author, title and other junk data. How do I clean this up? A regex statement would be appreciated. Tnx again! <head><title>A Copy of the Dash Diet - Tips on Switching to the Dash Diet Meal Plans</title></head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"> <p>A Copy of the Dash Diet - Tips on Switching to the Dash Diet Meal Plans<br>By <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Steven_McIntosh" >Steven McIntosh</a></p> BLAH BLAH BLAH <p>Article Source: <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=john_doe" target="_new">http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Steven_McIntosh</a> <br><a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?A-Copy-of-the-Dash-Diet---Tips-on-Switching-to-the-Dash-Diet-Meal-Plans&id=2381113" target="_new">http://EzineArticles.com/?A-Copy-of-the-Dash-Diet---Tips-on-Switching-to-the-Dash-Diet-Meal-Plans&id=2381113</a> <br> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UBotBuddy 331 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Here is what I do. I loaded to the article to a list. The next thing I did was that setup a loop to cycle through each line and i saved what I wanted to a new list. Then I saved the new list to a text file. I am not a Regex person. It might be possible. It's just I don't know that piece. For me, I am a UBot purest. I do not use Javascript or Regex unless I am backed into a corner. But that's me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
