I'm trying to parse a .HTML file which I have converted to a .txt file inside of automator.
I previously downloaded the .HTML file from a website using automator, and am now struggling to parse the source code.
Preferably, I want to take the information of just the table. and I need to repeat this action for 1800 different .HTML files.
Here is an example of the source code:
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<div class="wrapper">
<span class="access">
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<span class="access">
Gold Account: <a class="upgrade" title="Account Details" href="http://www.hedge-professionals.com/account-details.html" >Active </a> Logged in as Edward | <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick='logout()' class="logout">Sign Out</a>
</span>

My applescript attempt: I was attempting to use delimiters to extract the table in a similar fashion:
set p to input
set ex to extractBetween(p, "<table>", "</table>") -- extract the URL
to extractBetween(SearchText, startText, endText)
set tid to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to startText
set endItems to text of text item -1 of SearchText
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to endText
set beginningToEnd to text of text item 1 of endItems
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tid
return beginningToEnd
end extractBetween
Any help would be amazing!
Thanks in advance
