GeoExtract Search-Expression Library

Under Construction

Here is a collection of the settings used to make GeoExtract extract various bits of information from the Internet. Feel free to contribute your own settings to help build this library, so other users can benefit from your work.

See also GeoExtractAsLogTailer for a clever use of GeoExtract.

Caution!
When copying and pasting from this page, bear in mind that line breaks in the search expressions are probably not actually present--they are likely only there due to the need to wrap the text to fit in the table cell. _Also watch out for spaces which are filled in by the wiki engine before and after the cell content. (You need to delete them to make the expression work!)_
