Hi, Iam a beginer in javascript in max.
I would like to include in max some daily thoughts from html site, here's the script : 

Could you give me some clues to see those daylies sentences in js object ?

Thx Patrick.
Can you explain a little bit the " @re (.*) ? " (mean the entire @re, but I can't paste it to my post…).

As you can see, the text you want is surrounded by a html 

, which mean: let's memorize a string with "0 or more characters" followed by

If you double click in jit.textfile, you'll see the file received.

As you can see, the text you want is surrounded by a html  tag.

In regexp's syntax, blahblah can be represented by .*, which means "0 or more characters".
Then comes (.*), which mean: let's memorize  a string with "0 or more characters" followed by  

This memorized string is sent thru jit.str.regexp's third outlet.

As I see with today's message, there may be some extra work to do to replace the HTML character encoding (like today's "

") with ascii char (i.e. î). This can be done with regexp too, but there are a lot of char to convert... I suppose there are some JavaScript sources on the web to do that.

I'haven't found any js to make this, so I'm gonna use jit.regexp according to 

http://www.octadyne.com/html_entity_acsii_table.cfm

I make a try with the & u c i r c ; When I want to substitute it with the ù, a backreference error occurs…although it does work with "t" for instance………
