Parse HTML Result for Specific Value and Parse It

The Parse HTML Result for the Value of a Specific Tag or Attribute Value and Parse It filter combines the following filters:

• Parse HTML Result for the Value of an Attribute
• Parse Property Value as Argument String

This filter is designed to find a specific attribute in a web page, and then further parse that attribute. If the attribute is a URL, and not only a name-value pair, there is a function for handling that information.

In this example, the filter finds the "href" attribute for the seventh anchor tag, which is a URL. The filter takes the "cmd" parameter and stores that value in the cmdlistusers_KEY.

Complete the following fields:

Filter in

The name of the property to consider as the last response for the step. If the property is not in the pull-down menu, you can enter it. The property must exist.

Tag

The name of the HTML tag. For an anchor tag, enter "a".

Tag Count

The occurrence of the tag from the top of response. For the seventh anchor tag, enter "7".

Attribute

The name of the attribute to filter. For the href attribute, enter "href".

IsURL

Select the check box if the attribute value is a URL.

Argument to Parse
