I am using java to fetch the title text from web page.
I have fetched image from web page using Tag name as follows:
int i=1;
InputStream in=new URL("www.yahoo.com").openStream();
org.w3c.dom.Document doc= new Tidy().parseDOM(in, null);
NodeList img=doc.getElementsByTagName("img");
ArrayList<String> list=new ArrayList<String>();
list.add(img.item(i).getAttributes().getNamedItem("src").getNodeValue());
It is working,But I want to fetch title tag from web page(www.yahoo.com) using same code
as above.I have mentioned getElementsByTagName("title"); but it is not working.
Please help me,how to do that using jtidy parser as above.
Watch that the NodeList index starts at 0 (i see your "int i = 1;") http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/org/w3c/dom/NodeList.html.
Also, you can "getNodeValue()" of an Attribute (ie "src"), but not of an Element http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/org/w3c/dom/Node.html. In this case you can use "getTextContent()", because I dont believe the "title" tag has child Elements. So:
String titleText = doc.getElementsByTagName("title").item(0).getTextContent();
Or:
String titleText = doc.getElementsByTagName("title").item(0).getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
You can fetch the title of an HTML page easily using an XPath:
/html/head/title/text()
You can achieve this easily with Dom4J, and I think in JTidy as well.
Wee can't tell unless you post the code you are actually tyring to use to get the title, but this clearly won't work:
list.add(img.item(i).getAttributes().getNamedItem("src").getNodeValue());
because the title
element doesn't have a src
attribute.
Try this,
InputStream response = null;
try {
String url = "http://example.com/"; // specify the URL
response = new URL(url).openStream();
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(response);
String responseBody = scanner.useDelimiter("\\A").next();
System.out.println(responseBody.substring(responseBody.indexOf("<title>") + 7, responseBody.indexOf("</title>"))); // it fetches the text inside the title tag
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
response.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
