I want to parse a web page in Groovy and extract all of the href links and the associated text with it.

If the page contained these links:

<a href='http://www.google.com'>Google</a><br /> <a href='http://www.apple.com'>Apple</a>

the output would be:

Google, http://www.google.com<br /> Apple, http://www.apple.com

  1. Assuming well-formed XHTML, slurp the xml, collect up all the tags, find the ‘a’ tags, and print out the href and text.

    input = '''<html><body> <a href = 'http://www.hjsoft.com/'>John</a> <a href = 'http://www.google.com/'>Google</a> <a href = 'http://www.stackoverflow.com/'>StackOverflow</a> </body></html>'''  doc = new XmlSlurper().parseText(input) doc.depthFirst().collect { it }.findAll { it.name() == 'a' }.each {     println '${it.text()}, ${it.@href.text()}' }
