HTML and LISP
Posted: Wed Feb 03, 2010 12:09 pm
Hello everyone.
I am very new to pretty much everything is LISP, and what LISP is.
I have an assignment to do, and i've decided it would be best to do it in LISP.
What i'm supposed to do is make a desktop application in C# which gets the HTML from some page, and using regex, extract some very specific text from it.
Since HTML is XML, and XML is a list of items, LISP just popped into my mind.
First of all, i have Emacs + CL Lisp, and LispWorks (which works with CL).
1. Should i do a console application which does this? 1b. How do i make a console application in emacs?
2. Should i use LispWorks to make a fancy desktop app.
3. Should i not use CL, but use Clojure? //clojure's just fancy.
4.Can someone give me some insight on functions to use to get HTML from a specific URL, and do i still need regex for getting my specific information? If so, what support does CL for the matter?
Thank you very much.
