parsing html data

[leroy07]

I have a webpage, and I want to connect (using LWP::Simple or LWP::Useragent) and get whatever strings between each occurence of a certain tag.

What have you tried so far? Post it, and we'll have a look at it...

I think we need a new abbreviation: WHYTSF?

I haven't written any code because I don't know where to start, I know how to get whatevers between the first occurence of a tag, but I don't know how to do it for ALL the tags.

See if one of these tutorials helps:

perlrequick - Perl regular expressions quick start
perlretut - Perl regular expressions tutorial

can be found here:

I know how to do regular expressions but if I do m/<title>(.*?)<\/title>/ (example) that will only get the first one, i need to get them all.

add the global matching modifier.

[url=http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/my.html][black][b]my[/b][/black][/url] [blue]@titles[/blue] = [red]m{[/red][purple]<title>(.*?)</title>[/purple][red]}[/red][red]g[/red][red];[/red]

It's the "g" at the end that is your baby.

I know how to do regular expressions

Evidently not well enough. Go back and read the tutorials.

I didn't mean to come across as rude or condescending to leroy07. If it reads that way I apologize to him. But it does look as though he can benefit from reading the tutorials.
