Grab Specific Text from a website

11 views (last 30 days)
I have about 6000 url's that are links to a wiki that has text on it that i need, is there a way to grab the data from the website because i have tried urlread and i cant seem to get the data out of the html string once ive done that.
That is a link to one of the url's i have, they are all the same. the text i'm trying to get is level 'ATK/DEF' etc

Did you try strfind? Like
contents = urlread(urlSearchAddress);
searchString = 'ATK/DEF';
location = strfind(contents, searchString);
