Re: [Htmlparser-developer] testStringBeanListener() consistently failing

[Derrick O. <Der...@ro...>]

Somik,

It's easily reproducible:

java  -jar  ./release/htmlparser1_3/lib/htmlparser.jar   
http://www.amazon.com

yields:

Begin Tag : br; begins at : 0; ends at : 3
WARNING: HTMLTagParser : Encountered > inside inverted commas in line
<td><a href="/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/1055940/ref=gw_mafb_/"><img 
src="http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/merchants/logos/marshall-fields-logo-20.gif" 
width=87 height=20 border=0 alt="Marshall Field's"></a></td>, location 205

                           ^
Automatically corrected.
ERROR: HTMLReader.readElement() : Error occurred while trying to 
decipher the tag using scanners
at Line 686 : null

...and then it really starts to have problems. It seems the "xxxxxx's" 
pattern causes grief as it reads the > in what it thinks is a single 
quoted string and 'fixes' it.
