I have looked at the HTML::parser examples and gotten a lot of help from them but my problem goes a little deeper than it can help.
I am very new to perl and love it but need some help.
I have an HTML file that I must parse to get information from. It looks something like this:
<a name="a"></a>
<h2>A</h2>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="1
+00%">
<tr>
<td>
<table id="a" border="1" bordercolor="#333366" ce
+llpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="33%" class="clsTableBody" valign
+="top" id="firstCol"><a href="pdf\c76b834e-36e1-497b-b13e-eba2348dc04
+4.pdf" target="_blank">Abbott, Evelyn</a><br/><span>110136892</span><
+br/><a href="pdf\8a956f66-1c60-48fc-905c-b49d617aa6c5.pdf" target="_b
+lank">Agnew, Thomas</a><br/><span>110377660</span><br/></td>
<td width="34%" class="clsTableBodyClear" v
+align="top" id="secondCol"><a href="pdf\37d3e78b-1adb-458b-9e89-0df78

+span><br/><a href="pdf\6c0a5bb4-143d-4305-957b-796c8193d07a.pdf" targ
+et="_blank">Allison, Gary Owen</a><br/><span>116815754</span><br/></t
+d>
<td width="33%" class="clsTableBody" valign
+="top" id="thirdCol"><a href="pdf\ae8d51e0-005b-44be-84cb-3c9b5733575

+an><br/><a href="pdf\e646f948-f78d-4463-a01d-0261aebf70dc.pdf" target

+td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
(Tried to post the actual html code but it is being rendered)
I need to get the href values from this and then right after the href values is a 9 digit number that belongs to this record that I need also.
IF anyone can point me in a direction to get these two values i would be very grateful. Thanks

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
