Hi,

I adjusted the sample to a (tested) version to fetch all the main topics from this forum

Code:
require('socket.http')
socket.http.TIMEOUT = 5

-- Get data from website
local data = socket.http.request('http://forum.logicmachine.net')

-- Check if data is received
if not data then
   log('No data found')
   return
end

-- Find your data
for i in string.gmatch(data, '<body>.-</body>') do 
   if i ~= nil then
      for j in string.gmatch(i, '<a href="forumdisplay.-</a>') do 
         if j ~= nil then
            searched_data = j:match([[">(.-)</a>]])
            if searched_data ~= nil then
               log(searched_data)
            end
         end
      end
   end
end

BR,

Erwin
