Parsing Rule Reference Guide

This section describes all the parsing rules you can use with Data Parser.

GetImage

The GetImage rule downloads a file (not just image files) from a URL to a local file.

The Source and Result attributes are required, but ignored.

Parameters:

Url (taggable): The URL for the file to download.

LocalFilename (taggable): The path and name to save the file as.

Example:

The following rule downloads the file home_main_polycom.jpg from

www.polycom.com and saves it as C:\polycom_banner.jpg.

<ParsingRule Type="GetImage" Source="" Result=""> <Url>http://www.polycom.com/images/home_main_polycom.jpg</Url> <LocalFilename>C:\polycom_banner.jpg</LocalFilename> </ParsingRule>

GetTag

The GetTag rule extracts text from between a pair of strings.

Parameters:

StartTag (taggable): The starting delimiter of the text to extract.

EndTag (taggable): The ending delimiter of the text to extract.

Index (optional): Which occurrence of the text to extract.

Examples:

The following rule extracts whatever text lies between the first occurrence of "here" and "there".

<ParsingRule Type="GetTag" Source="Source" Result="Replaced"> <StartTag>here</StartTag>

<EndTag>there</EndTag>

</ParsingRule>
