Re: [Htmlparser-user] extract specific link

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

A link is not text. Is the word "next" in a Text node within the link 
children? Then you need a HasChildFilter (with the recursive option if 
it's not a direct child).
You also need an AndFilter because you have two conditions.

NodeFilter linkFilter = new TagNameFilter ("A");
NodeFilter nextFilter = new StringFilter ("next");
NodeFilter andFilter = new AndFilter (linkfilter, new HasChildFilter 
(nextFilter, true));
NodeList next = links.extractAllNodesThatMatch (andFilter);

This gives you the link node(s).  If you actually want the text itself, use:
  new AndFilter (nextfilter, new HasParentFilter (linkFilter, true));
