use of print((char)inByte); and web page parsing
May 5th, 2006, 11:46pm  
In the HTTPClient example, the following line prints out the bytes coming in as char

print((char)inByte);

I would like to put all the incoming bytes into an array of char so that I can parse them and look for specific strings from the html page. I'm looking for help with the following questions

1) how do you convert bytes to char?
2) is there an example on parsing data out of web pages?
3) am i going about this all wrong?

any advice welcome, thanks! Smiley

If you want to load a webpage and look through the contents, then you probably want something like:

Code:
String[] lines=loadStrings("http://foo.com/bar.html");
String page=join(lines,"\n");
