I was wondering if there was a html parser for squeak. I want to
capture data from website and then convert these to xml and export
into an excel program I have.

Is this possible in squeak?

Yes. Browse HtmlParser class.

A good way to dig out such information is the Message Finder (world-menu-
>windows->find message names). Or select the string "html" or "parser" and
press CTRL+SHIFT+W.

Yes it is, we are using Soup (http://www.squeaksource.com/Soup.html ) to
parse html files. It's pretty good, though not perfect. There are also 2-3
other html parsers for Squeak. We're using this one because it's designed
to be able to parse not standard compilant html files (which are very
common) The tools for xml building are in the Squeak image, look for
XMLNode and it's subclasses (XMLDocument, XMLNodeWithElements, XMLString,
etc).

I was trying to follow the guide here
http://softwareengineering.vazexqi.com/2007/05/26/installing-packages-in-squeak
to
install the beautiful soup package. However I cannot locate the Squeakmap
Package Loader.

I know the menu and interface has been updated since this tutorial(and it
looks good) but I am looking in the "old desktop menu" but can't locate it.

Thanks

Sayth.

This package (and all packages on squeaksource.com can be installed with
the Monticello Browser or with Installer. If you're using Squeak 4.1 or
4.2 alpha, then you can open Monticello Browser from the Tools menu of the
Docking Bar (on the top of the screen). If you're using an earlier
version of Squeak, then open the desktop menu, select Open... then select
Monticello Browser (btw the SqueakMap Package Loader can also be found in
this menu).

If the Monticello Browser is open, then add the repository of Soup and
load the latest version. If you never used the Monticello Browser, then
you'll find this link useful (the images are a bit outdated, but this part
seems to be ok): http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/43#Opening%20a%20Repository

If you want to use Installer to install this package, then evaluate the
following in a workspace:

Installer squeaksource
       project: 'Soup';
       install: 'Soup'
