Re: [Htmlparser-user] Help on extracting clean body content from web page

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hello,

I'm trying to pull the body content from an HTML String using your parsing
utilities.  The problem I'm having is not how to GET the HTML.  I have the
HTML stored in a String.
I am using Web Services, and the content that I need is provided to me via
third-party code as a String object.  Therefore, I need your parser to take
HTML as a String object, parse it for the body tag, and return the innerHTML
of the body tag as a String.

Below is the content that I retrieve in a String object:

<html><head></head>
<body>Hello World</body>
</html>

String myHTML = myWebServices.getHTMLContent();  //this returns the above
HTML in a String object
....
...
.. //this is the missing piece, which is how to load the HTML into the
parser and return the innerHTML of the BODY tag.
...
....
String bodyContent = //This is the "Hello World" text that I'm looking for
so that I can use it without the HTML.

The FAQ does not appear to address this question.

Thanks in advance for your help in clearing up these issues.
