Re: Extracting HTML content between the h tags

in reply to Extracting HTML content between the h tags

Something like this (just for first ps):

my @nodes = $p->findnodes('//h2[2]/preceding-sibling::p[preceding-sibl
+ing::h2[1]]');

Thank you a lot! I did not know this syntax.
One more question if I dare :-)
In about 10 pages the last h2-tag is missing, so that I used the following workaround:

my @solution_2 = $content->findvalues( './h2[4]/preceding-sibling::*' 
+);
unless ( @solution_2 )
{
   @solution_2 = $content->findvalues( '//hr/preceding-sibling::*' );
}

I tried the same with your syntax as:

@solution_2 = $content->findvalues( '//hr/preceding-sibling::p[precedi
+ng-sibling::h2[3]]' );

but I get an uninitialized value only.
I understood the syntax so: "search the siblings but stop if the tag in brackets appears". Is this correct? If so, what am I doing false with the above attempt?
Spasibo!

According to your HTML preceding-sibling for hr will be div tag but not p tag... So this code will find all ps after last h2:

$p->findnodes('//h2[4]/following-sibling::p');

Or (more flexible):

$p->findnodes('//h2[last()]/following-sibling::p');

Thank you very much!
