Hi,
To output the extracted text to an ASCII file, formatting each paragraph as a separate line, the text must first be divided into paragraphs. This can be achieved in MATLAB by utilizing the "split" function, which divides a string into a cell array of strings using designated delimiters.
Here is the modified code to write each paragraph to a text file:
url = "https://www.staradvertiser.com/2021/08/22/editorial/on-politics/on-politics-gov-david-iges-handling-of-covid-19-hobbled-by-indecision-inadequate-staffers/";
code = webread(url);
str = extractHTMLText(code)
str_split = split(str, '\n'); % Split the string into paragraphs
fileID = fopen('output.txt','w'); % Open a file named 'output.txt'. Change it as per your requirement.
for i = 1:numel(str_split)
fprintf(fileID,'%s\n',str_split{i}); % Write each paragraph on a new line
end
fclose(fileID); % Don't forget to close the file after you're done
I hope this helps!
