htmlparser error in simple.js

[masanzsa]

Tried to execute a simple sample, after following the advice on the issue posted by staminna and I am stuck here:

$ node simple.js --url=http://www.extractwidget.com/nodejs/test/testcastorama.html       
htmlparser
/home/globallink/simple.js:12
    var url = URL.parse(args.url);
                        ^

ReferenceError: args is not defined
    at Object.<anonymous> (/home/globallink/simple.js:12:25)
    at Module._compile (module.js:570:32)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:579:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:487:32)
    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:446:12)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:438:3)
    at Module.runMain (module.js:604:10)
    at run (bootstrap_node.js:393:7)
    at startup (bootstrap_node.js:150:9)
    at bootstrap_node.js:508:3

so far my html parser is module is installed correctly among other needed dependencies.

changed the header of simple.js to this:

    var request = require('request'),
        dom = require('node-dom').dom,
        fs = require('fs'),
        parse = require ('parse'),
        args = require('args'),
        URL = require('url');

Then installed parse module form npm.
Now the error I am getting is this:

htmlparser
url.js:88
    throw new TypeError('Parameter "url" must be a string, not ' + typeof url);
    ^

TypeError: Parameter "url" must be a string, not undefined

there are typos and missing header declarations in the 3 examples simple.js, medium.js and complete.js

will try to post corrected versions as soon as I can

Thanks, I think the other modules have changed a bit
