Time for action – setting up the Text card

Start off in the test stack you made, so we can get the function working there before adding it to the WebScraper stack.

1. Duplicate the button you made when extracting links. Change the function call getLinks to say getText - otherwise the script can remain the same.

2. Edit the script of the test stack, and add this function:

   function getText pPageSource
      put replaceText(pPageSource,"(?:<(?P<tag>script|style)[\s\S]*?</(?P=tag)>)|(?:<!--[\s\S]*?-->)|(?:<[\s\S]*?>)","") into pPageSource
      replace lf with "" in pPageSource
      replace tab with " " in pPageSource
      return pPageSource
   end getText

3. Try clicking on the button you just made. You should see your second field fill with just the text parts of the web page.

4. Copy the function, and go back to the WebScraper stack script. Paste the function there.

5. Go to the Text card of the stack, and from the MobGUI window drag a Multiline Text control onto the card. Set its name to PageText...
