Marian --

As David mentions, VFP with its fine string handling, would be a candidate for parsing HTML. The one issue is that a properly formed HTML page, when parsed, forms a tree. Representing that data structure in VFP is possible, but would take a bit of work.

On my way to other things, I ran into the following link. This is an HTML parser written in Scheme -- a dialect of LISP where recursion and linked lists are a way of life. Not sure if this will integrate with an existing app. BTW, there are a variety of free Scheme implementations available, including compiler, if you need to adapt to your own needs.
