String Extraction

I'm trying to extract a string out of a line in a file. For example, in the line of a text file I have

<TITLE>string to extract here</TITLE>

In which case I need to extract the string. The string will be different lengths in different files. Anyone know how to go about this?

I have done this using the Split function. If posible find a way to dilimit, "<Title>", the return is a string array.

Try this:

Function ExtractString(sSearch As String, sBracket1 As String, sBracket2 As String) As String
    Dim iBracket1 As Long, iBracket2 As Long
    
    iBracket1 = InStr(1, UCase(sSearch), sBracket1)
    iBracket2 = InStr(iBracket1, UCase(sSearch), sBracket2)
    ExtractString = Mid(sSearch, iBracket1 + Len(sBracket1), iBracket2 - Len(sBracket2))
End Function

Usage:

MsgBox ExtractString(Text1, "<TITLE>", "</TITLE>")

Thanks. Thats worked. But it seems to work only on short HTML tags. For example, when I try something like this:

myNewFile.writeline ExtractString(strFileRead, "<TD WIDTH=""60"" ALIGN=""RIGHT""><B><U>", "</U></B></TD>")

It prints the string I'm looking for and the trailing HTML tags. Am I doing something wrong here?
