Wrote this for this thread yesterday: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=2649418

Function:

PHP Code


<?php 
public static string[] grabProxy(string source)
  {
    // Credits: Soft2050
    var proxies = new List<string>();
    foreach (Match m in Regex.Matches(source, @"<td><span>([\s\S]*?)(\d+)</td>"))
    {
    string port = m.Groups[2].Value;
    string ip = m.Groups[1].Value;
    ip = Regex.Replace(ip, @"(<(div|span) style=""display:none"">\d+.*?>|<.*?>)", "").Trim();
    proxies.Add(string.Concat(ip, ":", port));
    }
    return proxies.ToArray();
  } 


Usage:

PHP Code


<?php 
static void Main(string[] args)
  {

    WebClient wc = new WebClient();

    string[] proxyList = grabProxy(wc.DownloadString("http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/"));

    Array.ForEach(proxyList, s => Console.WriteLine(s));

    Console.ReadKey();

  } 


Edit: I just made a little function that will let you grab proxies upto (x) Pages specified by you:

PHP Code


<?php 
public static string[] grabHMAProxies(int uptoPages)
  {
    // Credits: Soft2050
    WebClient wc = new WebClient();
    var proxies = new List<string>();
    for (int i = 1; i <= uptoPages; i++)
    {
    proxies.AddRange(grabProxy(wc.DownloadString(string.Format("http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/{0}", i))));
    }
    return proxies.ToArray();
  }

Ever thought of making your function get all the proxies from all the pages by the way ? Instead of just the selected page?

Just keep scanning pages from http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/1 till it contains no more Regex matches (proxies).

Hehe, i did that already before your reply. You might have not seen the last function i guess 😉



Although in that you have to specify end page 🙂

Wow, this seems really cool. It would be helpful if you could add comments explaining what the code does for beginner coders like myself. 👍

Ok, i am not so good at explaining but i tried what i could do:

PHP Code


<?php 
public static string[] grabProxy(string source)
{
    // Credits: Soft2050
    var proxies = new List<string>(); // creates a new list of string to return later
    foreach (Match m in Regex.Matches(source, @"<td><span>([\s\S]*?)(\d+)</td>"))
    {
    string port = m.Groups[2].Value;
    string ip = m.Groups[1].Value;
    ip = Regex.Replace(ip, @"(<(div|span) style=""display:none"">\d+.*?>|<.*?>)", "").Trim(); // replace extra html tags and hma's hidden divs from source
    proxies.Add(string.Concat(ip, ":", port)); // add the ip address in a combined form of ip:port
    }
    return proxies.ToArray(); // convert list of string to array and return it back
} 


PHP Code


<?php 
public static string[] grabHMAProxies(int uptoPages)
{
    // Credits: Soft2050
    WebClient wc = new WebClient(); // initialize a webclient to download source later, you could use your method of webrequest by replacing the DownloadString method in the below code
    var proxies = new List<string>(); // creates a new list of string to return later
    for (int i = 1; i <= uptoPages; i++) // loop until it added proxies from pages from 1 to uptoPages
    {
    proxies.AddRange(grabProxy(wc.DownloadString(string.Format("http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/{0}", i)))); // AddRange - Adds a array to Array which is being returned by grabProxy function
    }
    return proxies.ToArray(); // convert list of string to array and return it back
} 


Hope it helps

Posted the same thing few weeks ago, I guess the thread just got lost in old threads :\
