Good day! I’m using Delphi XE and Indy TIdHTTP. Using Get method I get remote directory listing and I need to parse it = get list of files with their sizes and timestamps and distinguish files and subdirectories. Please, is there a good routine to do that? Thank you in advance! Vojtech

Here is the sample:

<head>
  <title>127.0.0.1 - /</title>
</head>
<body>
  <H1>127.0.0.1 - /</H1><hr>
<pre>

</pre>
<hr>
</body>

    Given the code sample, I guess the fastest way to parse it would be like this:

    • Identify the <pre>...</pre> block containing all the listing lines. Should be easy.
    • Put everything between the <pre> and </pre> into a TStringList. Each line is a file or folder, and the format is very simple.
    • Extract the links from each line, extract the date, time and size if you need it. Best done with a regex (you’ve got Delphi XE so you’ve got built-in Regex).
