Owl Lua API
The Owl Lua API is a platform for building parsers in Owl. It consists of instantiable classes and static objects. Each response is processed through HTML Tidy so that all HTML returned is valid XHTML.
regexp Class
The regexp class exposes a POSIX implementation of regular expressions. The class's API is modeled after Qt 4.x's QRegExp implementation.
regexp.new()
Initializes a new instance of the regexp class.
sgml Class
The sgml class parses Html markup and builds an SGML DOM. Note: Parsing of even well formed documents can be slow for very large files.
utils Class
The utils class contains static methods to make common routines in parsers more accessible.
utils.md5()
Returns an ASCII md5 encoding of the given string.
Syntax <syntaxhighlight lang="lua">encodedString utils.md5(rawstring)</syntaxhighlight>
Parameters
- rawstring (string) - The string to be encoded.
Return Value
- encodedString (string) - The ASCII'd md5 string
