ya sorry don't always have time to hold your hand but you understood eventually didnt you
how are you pulling only the 20 or so files he wants and not the other ones on the page, that was why i parsed the html couldn't think of a good way to only look at that section

theres a couple windows haters at my work too.. pretty ironic imo for a c# shop

you still didn't describe which wouldn't work. he offered two solutions, one that reads the html (using an xml parser) and one that greps. as far as i can tell they should both work fine.

He was just being ignorant again. Apparently he thought I was grabbing every file on the page? Like, I know he is new and all to development, but still it takes 2 seconds to google keywords from my responses to figure this out.

I still have no idea what problems he saw.

ya total web scrub never touched it besides a super basic html course had never heard of xpath before thanks still don't entirely understand the syntax you used but i think i get it conceptually at least i'll look into it some more over the summer i guess

sorry i read your back to back posts as
"wtf are you talking about 2 year old"
"o i see what you're saying now but i'm not gonna apologize for the insults and just keep right on the net rager track"
my misunderstanding i apologize

anyway that's still really cool i never thought about skipping to sections of an html page like it was xml i had no idea the two were interchangable cool tutorial looks like a cool site i'll have to read it over this summer

they aren't "interchangeable"

bad word i guess i shoulda said something more like you can use xpath on either of them
