How do you grab the text off a web page then save it as a text file....!

I know:


Webbrowser1.Document.documentElement.innerHTML


gets the HTML....
I want just the text on the screen.

also..how do I trigger the Save command in a webbrowser?
THANKS!

I didn't have time to test but this should work:

First Page:

<html>
<Head></Head>
<Body>
<form Action="myStuff.asp" method="POST">
Blurbs:
<input type="text" name="Blurbs"><br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit!">
</form>
</Body>
</html>


Second Page: Name it "mystuff.asp"

<%Response.Buffer=true%>
<html>
<Head></Head>
<Body
<%Dim filesys, Mystuff
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting,FileSystemObject")
Set Mystuff = filesys.OpenTextFile("c:\inetpub\wwwroot\HereItIs.txt",8,true)
Mystuff.WriteLine Request.Form("Blurbs")
Mystuff.Close%>
<H2>Go to "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\HereItIs.txt" and see Mystuff!</H2>
</Body>
</html>

To save the source:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim strHTML As String
strHTML = Webbrowser1.Document.documentElement.innerHTML
Open "C:\Source.txt" For Output As #1
Print #1, strHTML
Close #1
End Sub


And to trigger the Save dialog box:

WebBrowser1.ExecWB OLECMDID_SAVEAS,OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER

I know how to do that one...I dont need the source.
I need the actual text on the page. (I dont want to have to pull it out of the source)

Is there a way to save the page displayed as a text file (not the html)???
Thanks

Thanks Matthew Gates...

To trigger the save as Dialog is good enough....
(It would be great if I could tell it to save it as a certain name and file type)
I'll have to settle for Almost full automation....

So close.....

Thanks
