Email Extraction

This is very similar to link extraction. You have to extract links from a page and verify that they are email addresses. Link tags have a method - isMailLink() to check if the HREF starts with "mailto:". Using an inner class in the NodeFilter example:

    import org.htmlparser.Node;
    import org.htmlparser.NodeFilter;
    import org.htmlparser.Parser;
    import org.htmlparser.tags.LinkTag;
    import org.htmlparser.util.NodeIterator;
    import org.htmlparser.util.NodeList;
    import org.htmlparser.util.ParserException;

    public class EmailLinkDemo
    {
        public static void main (String[] args) throws ParserException
        {
            Parser parser = new Parser ("http://urlIWantToParse.com");
            NodeFilter filter = new NodeFilter ()
            {
                /**
                 * Accept nodes that are mail links.
                 * @param node The node to check.
                 */
                public boolean accept (Node node)
                {
                     return (LinkTag.class.isAssignableFrom (node.getClass ())
                        && ((LinkTag)node).isMailLink ());
                }
            };
            NodeList links = new NodeList ();
            for (NodeIterator e = parser.elements (); e.hasMoreNodes (); )
                e.nextNode ().collectInto (links, filter);
            for (int i = 0; i < links.size (); i++)
            {
                LinkTag linkTag = (LinkTag)links.elementAt (i);
                System.out.print ("\"" + linkTag.getLinkText () + "\" => ");
                System.out.println (linkTag.getLink ());
            }
        }
    }
