CGI Question -- can this be done?
Greetings All,
I know nothing about server-side scripting However, I was wondering if a very simple html document can be parsed to strip-out 1 or 2 standerd tags, then re-written to my web site.
Here's the low-down. I want to access the road conditions data provided by Cal-Trans. This is provided as a simple html file, but rather than opening the data in a new window or IFrame, I want to formate the information to be placed on my site as I see fit.
Is this hard to do, or can it even be done?
Best Regards,
Yosho

You can read the file and strip out tags, yes.
Did you want to provide a similar file and we can work on it together?
Basically what you do it read the file into the script, use ereg_replace (or variant) or str_replace to remove specific bits, then print the result to a different file.
It depends entirely upon on the output of the file you're reading.
