Functions for extracting/scraping text from buffers
Bitcoin donations gratefully accepted: 1FgnGFwRES9MGzoieRDWLmLkjqMT3AsjQF This library provides functions for programmatically extracting text from buffers. The `extract-matching-strings' and `extract-matching-rectangles' macros allow you to perform simple extractions, but for more complex tasks there is `extract-text'. This macro allows complex text extraction specifications using a kind of dsl for text extraction. You can use included wrapper functions for picking out individual bits of text, or define your own and save them in `extract-text-user-wrappers' and `extract-text-user-progs'. You can specify how many times to repeat each individual extraction, how to handle errors or missing values, restrict the buffer for finding certain extractions, how to structure &/or transform the output, etc. See the docstring for `extract-text' for more details.
