Description:

I have a harvester that goes out and grabs some urls after logging into a remote site. then I have a bash script that looks at a config file and determines what to grab from the html via regex.

It uses an xml config file to deternmine what to grab and what regex statement to use.

Two of those xml files are no longer working (because
two of the many websites I grab info from made a change to their website and the regex statement in my parser doesn't work anymore.

so I just need those two xml files fixed.

If should be an hour of work if you are quick and proficient. (more work to follow if it works out)</SPAN>

Platform:
regex
xml
html parsing
http protocol

optional:
php
bash
wget
