Extract parts of web pages

[Egnos]

I tried to use sites that create RSS feeds from a web page but they are very inaccurate.

Nobody knows an iframe module that allows automatic page scrolling?

[sdetweil]

@Egnos its doable,

iframe auto scrolling

but requires some code… even on the CSS approach cause you would want to wait some time,
then change the css style

I am not aware of a module that does this… ( or how it would decide it NEEDS to on a page by page basis)

@sdetweil said in Extract parts of web pages:

( or how it would decide it NEEDS to on a page by page basis)

Scrolling a page would be enough (the web page you set in configuration …), when it arrives at the end it comes back up.
I speak as a non-developer, I don’t know how difficult it is …

[sdetweil]

@Egnos ok, so you assume that the page always needs to be scrolled

[Egnos]

@sdetweil Yes, in any case in order to read a web page it must be scrolled. Monitors usually can’t fit the full page …

Would it be possible to view the contents of a text file on MM view a file (such as a .js or .json)?
Let me explain: since I don’t have the skills to automatically extract information from a website. I was thinking, for now, of manually updating a file every month.
I would need a form that would print this information contained in a file in local on the MM… (in the future I could automate the writing of this file …)

Do you think it would be possible?
If so, do you know of a module that could do this?

Thanks guys!

@Egnos to get your ‘file’ content do

view the page in a browser, print to file(not pdf)
