What is HTML Form Parser 1.0b3?

HTML Form Parser is a utility to parse the output of HTML forms. You would get the output mailed to you, for example, and the extension will parse all the nasty little ASCII codes for non-alpha characters into characters.

I use it in combination with Eudora. If I get just one message, I copy it from Eudora and run the Parser on it.  If there are several, I save them to one text file, then open it in BBEdit and run the Parser on the file.

With the new versions, you could use Frontier or AppleScript to automatically parse any message whose subject is "Form Posted from Mozilla", or have your web server itself call a cgi script that did the parsing.

There are three versions of the parser.

• The BBEdit Extension allows you to run the parser from the Extensions     menu in BBEdit.  It will operate on the selection in the frontmost    window (if there is a window with a selection), on the entire window's text (if    there    is no selection), or on the    clipboard (if there is no    window), and put the results in a new, untitled window.
• The XFCN allows you to parse text from within any platform that understands the XCMD/XFCN architecture.  As of right now, this includes at least HyperCard, 4th Dimension, UserLand Frontier, MicroPhone Pro, and a host of others.
• The Scripting Addition version allows you to parse text from within an AppleScript.  This version actually just uses the XFCN version with the XCMD Adapter Scripting Addition, which I got from the MacOS SDK CD.
