Similar to Page Scrape but from a Variable?

[Bot-Factory 602]

Hello.

 

I have the html code of a website in a variable.

Now I want to extract a specific information out of this variable.

 

The easiest would be, if I could use something similar to $Page scrape.

Where I just enter:

text on left side

text on right side.

 

But instead of doing that from tha actual page I'm on, I need to do that from the text within a variable.

 

Within the html code ther is:

<meta name="csrf-token" content="22546d0ed677b61e4073515e847773b52a363f1a882e45afa75eb87ad29c375cb9eab5024cafbc6ae1783d7d42fc73a54174ecb7bf4b82edadc8fe358a71f6ee">

 

And I need to extract only the token from the html text in the variable.

 

 

What is the easiest way to extract parts of a text from another text? I looked at the text and search functions within ubot, but wasn't able to find anything that is similar to the $Page scrape command.

 

Thanks in advance for your help

You should use regular expression, here is an example:

(?<=content=").*?(?=")

set(#sourceString, "<meta name=\"csrf-token\" content=\"22546d0ed677b61e4073515e847773b52a363f1a882e45afa75eb87ad29c375cb9eab5024cafbc6ae1783d7d42fc73a54174ecb7bf4b82edadc8fe358a71f6ee\">", "Global")
set(#extractedStr, $list item($find regular expression(#sourceString, "(?<=<meta name=\"csrf-token\" content=\")[a-zA-Z0-9]*(?=\">)"), 0), "Global")

 

 

The extracted string is in the variable #extractedStr .

 

 

If  #sourceString is a web page you could extract the extracted string from "$document text" instead.

A couple other ways would be to do the $substring of the variable using $find index to find your start point and $text length minus $find index to cut off the first portion.  Then do another $substring from 0 to $find index of the last character in the string you need.

 

Another solution would be to load the variable as html and run $page scrape that way.

Awesome! Those are some nice ideas! I'm learning something new with ubot every day!
