Re: [Htmlparser-user] StringBean: Removing unwanted links

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

Riaz,

You will probably need to use a filter to pick out the content you want.
Run the FilterBuilder tool (bin/filterbuilder) and create a filter that 
gets the content you want.
It has a little help and a tutorial to get you going.
Then use the filter code generated by the tool and pass it to a 
FilterBean, which has a convenience method, called getText() I think, 
that will apply a StringBean to the results of the filter.
