Re: how to extract iframes from text

in reply to how to extract iframes from text

Regex is an option, but it usally doesn't work well for nexted delimiters (which can happen with iframes).

I personally like Mojo::DOM for this kind of task:

use Mojo::DOM;

say Mojo::DOM->new($yourstring)->at('iframe');

thanks for the quick answer. Here is the line of code: `print STDERR (Mojo::DOM->new($args->{$t})->at('iframe'));` this is what i get : $VAR1 = '<p>No one\'s telling the truth anymore, and that makes the nu +mbers suspect.</p> <p>*<iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://localhost:8000/embe +d/static/clips/2012/12/17/28210/test-rush" allowfullscreen="" framebo +rder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></p> <p>\\n</p> <p>Instead of addressing the fact that some text</p> <p>\\n</p> <p><iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://localhost:8000/embe +d//static/video/2012/09/07/fnc-ff-20120907-doocytaxes" allowfullscree +n="" frameborder="0" scrolling="\\"no\\""></iframe></p> <p>\\n</p> <p>The very first example AP cites was already corrected.some text ... +.Reacting to recent <a href="/blog/2013/04/17/major-errors-undermine- +key-argument-for-austeri">research</a> that has questions.</p> <p>\\n</p> <p><iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://localhost:8000/embe +d/static/clips/2013/04/29/29939/fnc-an-20130429-hemmermooredebtgdp" a +llowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>*</p> <p>\\n Arriving at such a conclusion requires not only obscuring the i +mportance in pushing global austerity <a href="/static/images/item/gd +p-components.jpg">strong measures</a> of too little spending.</p>'; <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" scrolling="no" + src="http://localhost:8000/embed/static/clips/2012/12/17/28210/test- +rush" width="480"></iframe> [download] it seems to extract some of the non iframe stuff too.... how to get rid of the non iframe part or put just the iframe part in an array	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The output you are showing looks like it was produced by Data::Dumper, yet the line `print STDERR (Mojo::DOM->new($args->{$t})->at('iframe'));` doesn't contain any references to Data::Dumper. Could it be that you are confused, and the output is produced by some other code? Perl 6 - the future is here, just unevenly distributed	[reply] [d/l]

You are right. that was the dumper(line before). Is there a way to put it in an array?	[reply]

You are right. that was the dumper(line before). But it is printing just the first iframe not the others. Is there a way to put them all in an array?	[reply]
