Yes, I agree, it would have been nice :)

Although, I would suggest that instead of making your script really bogged
down with  removing data, to just use head and tail to isolate what you
need. Or, since these words are only likely to appear once in the app page,
and not anywhere else, you could just search for the words gold, platinum,
silver, bronze, garbage, etc. using grep.

Always remember, that everything will turn out exactly, EXACTLY, as God has
planned it, and not the minutest detail, will be omitted. EVERYTHING that
ever happens in this world happens for a reason DECIDED BY GOD. Look for
God in everything that happens to you or your friends or anyone you meet.
