get_tag help - finding specific attributes? 1

[Snipe2020]

Hi - I'm very new to Perl and strugling to figure out how you can parse and extract html content from tags with specific attributes.

So far I have this:

my $parser = HTML::TokeParser->new(\$content) ||
die "Could not parse page";
while ($parser->get_tag("b")) {
print $parser->get_text(), "\n";
}

which returns the content of all <b> tags from the target file, but what I need is for it to only return the content from <b> tags which have a specific class, say <b class="total"> for example - so far everything I've tried has failed - any help would be greatly appreciated :0)

 

[sycoogtit]

my $parser = HTML::TokeParser->new(\$content);
while (my $token = $parser->get_tag('b')) {
 if ($token->[1]{class} eq 'total') {
  print $parser->get_trimmed_text . "\n";
 }
}
