Automagic Forum

Hey, I tried to get some information from a website (youtube) using the evaluateXpathAsString function. I want to use only the html I get via a GET request. When I try to execute the script, I get the following error:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: unterminated entity ref (position:ENTITY_REF @1:1024 in java.io.Stringreader@2e17e7bb)

I tried some other websites and got different errors, but none worked.

Should this function work with html?

Hi,

No, the XPath version only supports proper XML. You could try to use a converter/cleaner to produce an XML file from a web site. This one looks promising: https://infohound.net/tidy/

Ok, I managed to work around my issue by using AutoShare's Subject field, where the information I need can be found by simple substring searching. I prefer this solution for now, instead of trying to find a way to get a proper xml fully automated over http requests or something. Anyway, thanks for your help, maybe I will need this for other projects...

Kind regards
