WebParser

Reads information from webpages.

Url
Url to the file to be downloaded and parsed. The Url can also be another WebParser-measure, in which case the already downloaded and parsed information can be reused (e.g. when displaying different StringIndex on the same page). To do this just give the name of the measure in the Url, like this: Url=[MeasureSlashDot]

RegExp
The regular expression used in parsing. The plugin uses Perl Compatible Regular Expressions, so check the Perl docs for syntax and more info.

FinishAction
Action that is executed when the page has been downloaded and the parsing is done.

StringIndex
Defines which string from the regexp this measure returns.

UpdateRate
The rate how often the webpage is downloaded. This is relative to the config's main update rate.

Debug
Set this to 1 and the log file will contain some useful debug information.

Download
If set to 1, the Url is downloaded to a temporary folder and the name to the file is returned as string value. The measure can be bound to a IMAGE meter to download images from web and show them. If the RegExp is defined the parsed string is interpreted as a link to the downloaded image.
