I need to extract a text inside a code like :

<p><strong>Name: </strong>Dylan</p>
<p><strong>First name: </strong>Bob</p>
<p><strong>Age: </strong>26</p>

To get each value (Dylan, Bob and 26), I try to define kinds based on a part of each text value.

For example, for the firts name kind, I need to define inside the kind editor that I want the Inner Text with "First name:" inside.

How can I do that ? Is it possible to select a property in the kind editor by given only a part of its value ?

Thanks for your help

I found in the Helium blog, this article : The often overlooked JavaScript Gatherer (http://heliumscraper.com/wordpress/?p=115)
There is a example that extract links pointing to webpages in one particular domain (http://www.example.com). For that, a JavaScript gatherer that gets the domain of the URL of the links is created.
This solution sound quite complicated for a non developer user

In this example, it would have been much more "friendly user" to allowed the user to edit the kind of the url links collected on the page and just write that the value of the selected url have to contain the "www.example.com" text inside (sommething like : WHERE value LIKE '%www.example.com%')
