There is a URL with a string of text that I want to conduct a word count on.

The text is between <DIV class="description>Here are the words with <b>additional</b> tag formatting that I'd like removed.</DIV>


I use the formula,


=smfstrExtr(RCHGetWebData("www.someurl.com/place"),"class="description">","</div")



But nothing is returned. I'm not sure why, but I think the problem is with the quotation marks around the word description.


Then once the text is extracted, or concomitantly, I could perform word count, using,


=IF(LEN(TRIM(T2))=0,0,LEN(TRIM(T2))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(T2," ",""))+1)


Where the T2 cell holds the text. But I'd really like it all to be in one formula, if possible.


Any thoughts?


Thanks,

Here's your formula corrected:

=smfStrExtr(RCHGetWebData($D$4),"class=""description"">","</DIV")

A simpler version:

=smfGetTagContent($D$4,"div",-1,"class=""description"">")

But for a word count, you'd need to repeat that function three times in
your formula to make it a single function.

That "simpler" version works like a charm, but the other internal tags are still there. how do I clean that up and perform the count?

Thanks,

If you have the beta version of the add-in from the "Works in Progress" web
page, you can try a new undocumented function I added on 2014-04-07:

=smfStripHTML(smfGetTagContent($D$4,"div",-1,"class=""description"">"))

Otherwise, you need to parse them out yourself. Not a trivial task.
