I just saw your post:

Dim strString As String, intI As Integer, intJ As Integer, intFreeFile As Integer


strString = "String you're looking for"
intFreeFile = FreeFile
Open "htmlpage.html" for input As #intFreeFile

do until EOF(intFreeFile)

Line Input #intFreeFile, strLine

inti = instr(strLine, strString)

'this would give you the location of the string
if intI <> 0 then
'this means it's found it so you can do what you wish now
end if

loop

Basically this will open the file, read it line by line into a string and then search that string for the string you want. It will give you the location of that string so you can use mid(strLine, intI) to remove everything past that point. Hope this helps.
