Re: [MLUG] text extract from web (not vanilla extract btw... ;)

[George Robb <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Thanks All !!!

The -dump option was exactly what I was looking for! ;)   lynx and w3m  
both fit my needs :)

localhost:~ forgeman$ w3m -dump http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/my_systems_info/en/details?ServiceTag=12345#skipMH 
 | grep Ship

results in:

Ship Date:   10/26/1998

Thanks again!

George
