I've got a bit of a problem. I'm designing something that pulls a webpage off the internet, searches through the source and grabs the data I want. The only problem I'm having is I don't know what I'm doing. What the goal is for this project is to be able to search through a single string that holds my webpage source, use patterns to look through the source, and for each instance of data I find I would like to put that data into an array, making sure I increment a counter along the way to keep track of the data amount. I don't need to deal with sorting the data or numbering it. All I want is to be able to search this one string and copy data from it and place it in an array. I just have no clue what I'm doing.
Thanks.

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).
