robust regex needet - .NET Framework

Bernard Hinault

Hi there

first of - i have to explain something; I have to grab some data out of
a phpBB in order to do some field reseach. I need the data out of a
forum that is runned by a user community. I need the data to analyze the
discussions.

to give an example - let us take this forum here. How can
i grab all the data out of this forum - and get it local and then after
wards put it in a local database
of a phpBB-forum
is this possible"?!"? to give an example - let us take this forum - am
i able to grabb and harvest data out of
ordinary phpBB board (/eg phpBB.com). How can i do that.

What i have in mind - Nothing harmeful - nothing bad - nothing serious
and dangerous. But the issue is. i have to get the data - so what?
I need to to take out forum messages and other data (foum topics, users)
into database. Purpose: create forum copy for text analysis. Does anyone
have approximate solution?

It is needed to get data through HTTP for further analysis - in need to
get the data through HTTP and put it into CSV - in order to get a dump
that can fill a local database of a phpBB-board.

I need the data in a allmost full and complete formate. So i need all
the data like

username .-
forum
thread
topic
text of the posting and so on and so on.

how to do that?

i need some kind of a grabbing tool - can i do it with that kind of
tool. How do i sove the storing-issue into the local mysql-database.

Well you see that is a tricky work - and i am pretty sure taht i am
getting help here. So for any and all help i am very very thankful many
many thanks in advance
.- need to have a regex to parse the things

cheers
