I am wondering which sample scripts may be able to do the following:

I have search result in google, in this search result I would like to be
able to extract certain text that are identified with a unique start and end
character/s into a text file, from each of the search result in google,
would anyone know which sample script could do this, or give me pointers
will be very much appreciated.

The part on "Google API". Via the Google API you can request the snippet
Google shows, and do the extracting thing. Note that the snippet can
contain <b>...</b>.

http://johnbokma.com/perl/google-calculator.html shows how to get the page
without using the API but I do recommend using the API.
