    robust regex needet

    Hi there



    first of - i have to explain something; I have to grab some data out of
    a phpBB in order to do some field reseach. I need the data out of a
    forum that is runned by a user community. I need the data to analyze the
    discussions.

    to give an example - let us take this forum here. How can
    i grab all the data out of this forum - and get it local and then after
    wards put it in a local database
    of a phpBB-forum


    is this possible"?!"? to give an example - let us take this forum - am
    i able to grabb and harvest data out of
    ordinary phpBB board (/eg phpBB.com). How can i do that.

    What i have in mind - Nothing harmeful - nothing bad - nothing serious
    and dangerous. But the issue is. i have to get the data - so what?


    I need to to take out forum messages and other data (foum topics, users)
    into database. Purpose: create forum copy for text analysis. Does anyone
    have approximate solution?

    It is needed to get data through HTTP for further analysis - in need to
    get the data through HTTP and put it into CSV - in order to get a dump
    that can fill a local database of a phpBB-board.

    I need the data in a allmost full and complete formate. So i need all
    the data like

    username .-
    forum
    thread
    topic
    text of the posting and so on and so on.

    how to do that?

    i need some kind of a grabbing tool - can i do it with that kind of
    tool. How do i sove the storing-issue into the local mysql-database.

    Well you see that is a tricky work - and i am pretty sure taht i am
    getting help here. So for any and all help i am very very thankful many
    many thanks in advance
