Regular Expression Desperation. I'll PayPal $10 to whoever get's it working properly.
For someone who knows what their doing this shouldn't be too hard; unfortunately for me, this my first time using regular expressions, and I don't have the luxury, or patience to learn them right now.

I'll send $10 USD to anyone who gets it working the way I want. (I'll be sending it through Pay Pal, so you may need to have a premier account, I'm not sure.)

I have written out a detailed explanation of the problem, with examples of what I need it to do.

Please test it using the url http://www.yahoo.com. It has 3 JavaScript code blocks separated by text, so this will be a good test page for multiple uses of JavaScript.

The other page is http://www.brainhosting.com. They have one JavaScript code block at the top, so this will be a good test page for just one.

The first person to post the working code is the winner. If it doesn't work, I'll move on until I get one that does work. (So please test it yourself before you post it)

Disclaimer: You agree to not try and hold any property rights to the regular expression, and that it shall be 100% royalty free. (I've learnt the hard way to cover my butt)

Please visit http://www.arcanenexus.com for a more detailed explination.

Thanks to all who help, and congrats to the first to get it working.

Hi


Try something like this....

untested but it should work!

PHP Code:
<?

    function strip_html($str) {
        $tab = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
        $tab = array_flip($tab);
        return strtr($str, $tab);
    }

    function text_mode($str) {
        return strip_html(preg_replace(array("'<(SCRIPT|STYLE)[^>]*?>.*?</(SCRIPT|STYLE)[^>]*?>'si", "'(\\r|\\n)'", "'<BR[^>]*?>'i", "'<P[^>]*?>'i", "'<\\/?\\w+[^>]*>'e"), array("", "", "\\r\\n", "\\r\\n\\r\\n", ""), $str));
    }

$page = file_get_contents('http://www.yahoo.com/');
$page = text_mode($page);


echo $page;


?>





F!

preg_replace needs to be set to ignore newlines. The '/s' modifier does it.

Code:
<?php

$domain = 'http://www.yahoo.com/';

$open = fopen($domain, "r");

$readone = fread($open, 200000);
$readtwo = stristr($readone, '<body');
$readthree = preg_replace( "/<script[^>]+>.*?<\/script>/is", "", $readtwo);  //<-- extra modifier here
//$readthree = eregi_replace("<script(.*)<\/script>/u", "", $readtwo);

$read = strip_tags($readthree);

fclose($open);

$filtered = eregi_replace(" a ", " ", $read);
$$filtered = eregi_replace(" about ", " ", $filtered);
$$filtered = eregi_replace(" after ", " ", $$filtered);
$$filtered = str_replace('"', ' ', $$filtered);

echo trim($$filtered);

?>

Thanks kurious, it did everything I needed it to do. I've tested it on 5 five sites and were formatted perfectly. (well, still a few bugs to work out, the source of the formatted pages have a LOT of white space)

Send me your Pay Pal details. (sales@arcanenexus.com) and I'll send you all money as I said I would.

Thanks again.

That's not necessary. It's the season of good will

If you feel the need to pay, you can buy something for rycamor He's helped me out a lot and has an Amazon wishlist at http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/r...id=HBFZZHYLLOGH
