[Gambas-user] An utility component for Gambas

[Julio Sanchez]

Benoît:

>content = Scan(text, "*<div>*</div>*")
Yes, function as a "simple" between. But would not work with nestings

Example:
  Dim arrayStr As String[]
  Dim text As String

  text = "Hola <div> Bonito <div> gato </div> negro </div>"

  ArrayStr = Scan(text, "*<div>*</div>*")

  Print arrayStr[1]

Return:
"Bonito <div> gato "


If you respect the nesting would return:
"Bonito <div> gato </div> negro "


Regards
Julio
