使用Text.Regex.PCRE丢失字符来解析网页标题

我最近创建了一个网站,需要从TED网站检索谈话标题。

到目前为止,问题仅针对此演讲:Francis Collins: We need better drugs -- now

从网页来源,我得到:

<title>Francis Collins: We need better drugs -- now | Video on TED.com</title>
<span id="altHeadline" >Francis Collins: We need better drugs -- now</span>

现在,在ghci,我尝试了这个:

λ> :m +Network.HTTP Text.Regex.PCRE
λ> let uri = "http://www.ted.com/talks/francis_collins_we_need_better_drugs_now.html"
λ> body <- (simpleHTTP $ getRequest uri) >>= getResponseBody
λ> body =~ "<span id=\"altHeadline\" >(.+)</span>" :: [[String]]
[["id=\"altHeadline\" >Francis Collins: We need better drugs -- now</span>\n\t\t</h","s Collins: We need better drugs -- now</span"]]
λ> body =~ "<title>(.+)</title>" :: [[String]]
[["tle>Francis Collins: We need better drugs -- now | Video on TED.com</title>\n<l","ncis Collins: We need better drugs -- now | Video on TED.com</t"]]

无论哪种方式,解析后的标题都会遗漏左侧的某些字符,并且右侧会显示一些非预期的字符。它似乎与谈话标题中的--有关。然而,

λ> let body' = "<title>Francis Collins: We need better drugs -- now | Video on TED.com</title>"
λ> body' =~ "<title>(.+)</title>" :: [[String]]
[["<title>Francis Collins: We need better drugs -- now | Video on TED.com</title>","Francis Collins: We need better drugs -- now | Video on TED.com"]]

幸运的是,这不是Text.Regex.Posix的问题。

λ> import qualified Text.Regex.Posix as P
λ> body P.=~ "<title>(.+)</title>" :: [[String]]
[["<title>Francis Collins: We need better drugs -- now | Video on TED.com</title>","Francis Collins: We need better drugs -- now | Video on TED.com"]]

我的建议是:不要使用正则表达式来解析HTML。请改用适当的HTML解析器。下面是一个使用html-conduit解析器和xml-conduit游标库(以及http-conduit下载)的示例。

{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
import           Data.Monoid          (mconcat)
import           Network.HTTP.Conduit (simpleHttp)
import           Text.HTML.DOM        (parseLBS)
import           Text.XML.Cursor      (attributeIs, content, element,
                                       fromDocument, ($//), (&//), (>=>))

main = do
    lbs <- simpleHttp "http://www.ted.com/talks/francis_collins_we_need_better_drugs_now.html"
    let doc = parseLBS lbs
        cursor = fromDocument doc
    print $ mconcat $ cursor $// element "title" &// content
    print $ mconcat $ cursor $// element "span" >=> attributeIs "id" "altHeadline" &// content
