How can I parse HTML?

Let's say I have the following string:

NSString * str = "<a href="http://www.google.com"style="">
</br>
<a href="http://www.google.com" id="" style="">Come on</a>hello world"

How can I parse out the value of the anchor tag--"Come on"?

Should I use HTMLNode.h and HTMLParser.h开发者_开发技巧? Examples would be appreciated.

If it is static, then you can use string manipulation to take out the substring out of the tag

OR

If it is dynamic and html/xml code keeps changing then you can use NSXMLParser. Keep in mind that NSXMLParser should more preferably used only when data is in XML format.

Hope this helps.
