[Htmlparser-user] Searching HTML for areas not in tags

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi
I've got a load of HTML templates that I want to access via HTMLParser to
alter the text in them. The text at the start of the template is of the
form:

!ADMIN LOG
  !AD_PARAM TEXT = A message here
!END_ADMIN

<table>
.
.
.

I'm trying to replace the text "A message here" with something else. I'm
trying to put together a tag to extract this, but the problem is that
since there is no <> tag at the start of the HTML, HTMLParser can't
identify the text I want. I've tried using "" as the mID for the tag - but
no luck. If I use Firefox's DOM explorer to view the page, it will
"magically" generate the <HTML> and <BODY> tags such that the page makes
sense. Is there any way for me to do something similar in HTMLParser? Or
perhaps check for specific text (e.g. !ADMIN - this text doesn't appear
anywhere else in my HTML)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
