Parse html

[s0mus]

I need some ideas on how to accomplish this: (if you have code examples that
would be better)

I need to allow useres to upload a html file that contains information as well
as some mild formatting tags, then have coldfusion extract the data and import
that into a MySQL database.

I can find lots of information on doing this with XML or plain TXT but I don't
have that option.

Thanks

Does this help?

<cfscript>
function getTextFromTag(tag, text) {
startTag = "<" & tag & ">";
endTag = "</" & tag & ">";
tagStart = findNoCase(startTag, text) + len(startTag);
tagEnd = findNoCase(endTag, text);

return mid(text, tagStart, tagEnd - tagStart);
}
</cfscript>
