[snip] Let's say I want to extract some news-items from the www.CNN.com web page (If you visit CNN's page, you can see the 'MORE NEWS' block at the right side). I know how to extract the news-items (or any other data in the page) using regular expressions, but I wonder if there are other ways. The code I'm writing will be maintained by other people in the future, and perhaps regular expressions won't be easy for them to update when the site changes its format. Can somebody please give me a short overview of the different ways of extracting data from HTML? I hope my question is clear enough now. [/snip] This was clear (and just as broad) before, but the answer is going to be very broad.
