xhtml -> database

cross-posted to: mailing.databas e.myodbc,comp.t ext.xml

I have an xhtml file whose data I'd like to import to MySQL.
Unfortunately, mysqlimport will only work with text files. Mixed in
with text are some links, URL's, which I'd like to import to the
database. For the most part, a copy/paste into a plain-text file would
do the trick, but the links get lost in the process.

how do I grab the links?

Here's a snippet of the xhtml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYP E html PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><m eta
http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><title
/><meta name="generator " content="StarOf fice/OpenOffice.org XSLT

type="text/css">
@page { }
table { border-collapse:collap se; border-spacing:0;
empty-cells:show }
td, th { vertical-align:top; }
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { clear:both }
ol, ul { padding:0; }
* { margin:0; }
*.ta1 { }
*.ce1 { font-family:'Nimbus Roman No9 L'; font-size:10pt;
font-style:normal; text-shadow:none; font-weight:normal; }
*.Default { font-family:'Bitstre am Vera Sans'; }
*.Heading { font-family:'Bitstre am Vera Sans';
text-align:center ! important; font-size:16pt; font-style:italic;
font-weight:bold; }
*.Heading1 { font-family:'Bitstre am Vera Sans';
text-align:center ! important; font-size:16pt; font-style:italic;
font-weight:bold; }
*.Result { font-family:'Bitstre am Vera Sans';
font-style:italic; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:unde rline; }
*.Result2 { font-family:'Bitstre am Vera Sans';
font-style:italic; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:unde rline; }
*.co1 { width:0.8925in; }
*.ro1 { height:0.4146in ; }
*.ro2 { height:0.2173in ; }
*.ro3 { height:0.611in; }
*.ro4 { height:0.8083in ; }
*.ro5 { height:0.1681in ; }
....

thanks,

If you are looking for URLs *ANYWHERE* in the doc, irrespective of where
they are and what they are pointing at, I suggest you think of the XML
as just a text, and use a regular expression extractor thing. Unix geeks
have sed, grep etc., or you can code it in .NET or Java or Perl pretty
easily.

I think I'll give it a go with Saxon, hopefully this weekend. For this
particular example, yes, the URL's are "anywhere" but that might not be
the case down the road.

I've tested some of the new Nokia 6600 functionality. It ships with WAP2 and XHTML Support (it says).

I find this really annoying as it goes against the whole idea of media-independent XHTML Strict along with stylesheets. On the good side, WML...

I read this in http://annevankesteren.nl/2004/12/xhtml-notes "A common misconception is that XHTML 1.1 is the latest version of the XHTML series.
