javax html parser help ?

I found this page to send Yahoo mail from code, it works :

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11356237/send-mail-from-yahoo-id-to-other-email-ids-using-javamail-api

but I still need code to extract a list of all links within a specified URL's page?

I'm sure it needs serious regular expression handling. Is there  class / method to return a URL[] type object list?

Thanks

some links now don't start with anchor <a
but,
I see they now have

<link

which appears to allow many options,
will the code you give, to find a list of links, , work with that?

Thanks

Please post the test data set and show us the outputs you need.  If you don't have a test data set yet, please create one so we can look at this problem in the form of the SSCCE.  I would envision that you could put up a web page with the sort of links you want to extract, and you could give us the expected output from the extraction process.  Armed with that you can probably get a tested and working code example from Experts-Exchange.

If you're interested, this article shows some of the kind of thought processes that go into answering a question like this one.

The process might be started with a code outline like this one.
http://www.laprbass.com/RAY_extract_urls.php

<?php // RAY_extract_urls.php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo '<pre>';

// EXTRACT URLS FROM A WEB PAGE, USING ANCHOR, LINK, AND BASE TAGS

// A WEB PAGE PROVIDES OUR TEST DATA
$url = 'http://tmxtech.com/';

// READ THE TEST DATA
$htm = file_get_contents($url);

// VISUALIZE THE TEST DATA
echo htmlentities($htm);

// CREATE A REGULAR EXPRESSION TO EXTRACT THE VALUES IN href= ATTRIBUTES
$rgx
= '#'          // A REGEX DELIMITER
. '('          // CAPTURE GROUP
. 'href="'     // A STARTER STRING TO LOOK FOR
. ')'          // END CAPTURE GROUP
. '(.*?)'      // A GROUP OF CHARACTERS, UNGREEDY
. '"'          // ENDING STRING TO LOOK FOR
. '#'          // END REGEX DELIMITER
. 'i'          // CASE-INSENSITIVE
;

// EXTRACT AND SHOW THE WORK PRODUCT
preg_match_all($rgx, $htm, $mat);
print_r($mat[2]);

Here is a good API that I found called jsoup, that works for extracting links

http://jsoup.org/cookbook/extracting-data/example-list-links

it works, getting links in the page, both types :   <a>  and <link>

Been a *long* time since i've seen a regular expression table :) Good to have API's

Both the anchor tag and link tag use the href attribute to identify the URL.

Can we get the test data and the expected output, please?

Ray, jsoup is perfect, thanks, but I found some compile problems, specified at end of my
other question here

Thanks

Okay, Sorry

I didn't have any test data, because diving recursively through links in html on the internet is a huge test data.

I think my other concern is the regular expression type system jsoup uses for finding tags.

I'd like to find email addresses in a page.

It works like this : it is selecting text in Document Objects.

 Elements links = doc.select("a[href]");
        Elements media = doc.select("[src]");
        Elements imports = doc.select("link[href]");

What would emails look like? nothing I try works
An email  address looks like this :

<a href="mailto:youremailaddress">Email Me</a>

so it must resemble

 Elements emails = doc.select("a[href]");

How would I add the mailto requirement?

On a page jamescomp.com, it would return   james@jamescomp.com

Thanks

Hi Ray
Sorry to tick you off. You have helped me on so much, and I am grateful.
Most of my programming is personal project / game programming, and so it's mostly obvious if it works. I am going to start again, fresh.
Thanks

No worries -- I just find that a wide swath of highly constrained and predictable test data (along with expected outcomes) makes the path to success so much shorter!  Best of luck with it, and thanks for the points, ~Ray
