How to read onclick properties on row of a table using HTML::Table::Extractor

Hi Monks, My perl code is something like this and it is also working fine:

use HTML::TableExtract;
 $te = HTML::TableExtract->new( headers => [qw(Date Price Comments)] )
+;
 $te->parse($html_string);

 # Examine all matching tables
 foreach $ts ($te->tables) {
   print "Table (", join(',', $ts->coords), "):\n";
   foreach $row ($ts->rows) {
      print join(',', @$row), "\n";
   }
 }
[download]

My table is something like this:

<table>
<tr><td>Date</td><td>Price</td><td>Comments</th></tr>
<tr onclcick="dkfjskdjfskfd"><td>21/9</td><td>2324</td><td>abc</td></t
+r>
<tr onclcick="dkfjskdjfskfd1"><td>21/9</td><td>2324</td><td>abasdasc</
+td></tr>
<tr onclcick="dkfjskdjfskfdsdfsdf2"><td>21/9</td><td>2324</td><td>absa
+dsadsc</td></tr>
</table>
[download]

Now the data are coming fine, but I want to read the onclick properties also for each row. so output should be something like this :

dkfjskdjfskfd, 21/9, 2324, abc
dkfjskdjfskfd1, 21/9, 2324, abasdasc
dkfjskdjfskfdsdfsdf2, 21/9, 2324, absadsadsc

Please advise to include the row properties through HTML::Table::Extract

Please advise to include the row properties through HTML::Table::Extract There is no such module In any case, I would ditch the module, use the DOM There is probably an example in the distribution (in the test directory)	[reply]

If you use Dumper as recommended in Basic debugging checklist you can see that no attributes are saved Read more... (2 kB) Checking the module on cpan, particularly the buglist I see Bug #27372 for HTML-TableExtract: Access to row/cell attributes So there you go, if you want this feature, you'll have to patch the module Also, please mark your updates , thank you.

Re: How to read onclick properties on row of a table using HTML::Table::Extractor ( DOM approach using xsh) by Anonymous Monk on Aug 28, 2012 at 09:37 UTC
xsh is kinda hard to learn but this does it :) `$ xsh -q < table.xsh /body/table ,Date,Price,Comments dkfjskdjfskfd,21/9,2324,abc dkfjskdjfskfd1,21/9,2324,abasdasc dkfjskdjfskfdsdfsdf2,21/9,2324,absadsadsc $ cat table.xsh open "table.html"; for //table { echo; pwd; echo; for ./tr { my $first = @onclcick; $first \|\|=""; echo xsh:join(",", $first, ./td ); }; echo; }; echo;` [download] Naturally it doesn't handle rowspan/colspan or tbodys	[reply] [d/l]
