VBPG HTML Extractor - Convert URL to CMS Article
Mod Version: 1.0.0, by Dylanblitz

Not sure if anyone will need this. A friend asked me to make it for him so he could convert a lot of static pages from his old site into CMS Articles. So I figured I'd release it here in case it'll help anyone else.

This will take a url and convert it into a Static Page CMS Article. Depending on the layout of the original page and your understanding of regex you might get away with minor editing. If you are pulling from a Drupal site or something like it, it can be very easy to pull just the data. On the sample site I show I had to do no editing of the body text.

I am not the greatest with regex so please don't ask me to figure out the regex expression to get your content into the page. If you can't figure it out, I have the default set to use the body tags and you'll have to edit out the extra menu/banner/etc content.

I ran into one issue, not sure what causes it. When I was working with it on my site it worked no problem. When I installed a vanilla vB with the sample CMS data it wouldn't show any of the extracted articles on the All Sections view. Once I clicked the Verify and Repair Node Table it worked fine.
