    Resolved [RESOLVED] extract a "value" from html tag or a textbox

    Hi,

    Please help me do something.

    The full story is very very long, but the bottom line is:

    I'm reading html tags from a webpage using Webbrowser and HtmlElementCollection class. Then I invoke specific members (link, buttons etc.) depending on their attributes.

    I got stuck at one point. The webpage has many similar images in one place. They can be distinguished only but a version number. I need to get this number somehow to be able to invoke the correct link/image.

    this is the example of the html code (it looks like that - I only removed personal imformation from it) - lets say I got it already saved in a textbox:
    Code:
    <TR>
    <TD>My text for label</TD>
    <TD>my text for description</TD>
    <TD>27 February 2011 12:12</TD>
    <TD>my username</TD>
    <TD>197</TD>
    <TD>&nbsp;</TD>
    <TD><NOBR><A id=snapshot_revert_cms-company-3 onclick="document.forms['website']['website:act'].value='website:snapshot_revert_cms-company-3';document.forms['website']['sandbox'].value='cms-company-3';document.forms['website']['version'].value='197';document.forms['website'].submit();return false;" href="#"><IMG style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; VERTICAL-ALIGN: -4px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" title=Revert alt=Revert src="/servertype/images/icons/revert.gif"></A>&nbsp;&nbsp;<A id=snapshot_deploy_cms-company-3 onclick="document.forms['website']['website:act'].value='website:snapshot_deploy_cms-company-3';document.forms['website']['store'].value='cms-company-3';document.forms['website']['version'].value='197';document.forms['website'].submit();return false;" href="#"><IMG style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; VERTICAL-ALIGN: -4px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" title=Deploy alt=Deploy src="/servertype/images/icons/deploy.gif"></A>&nbsp;&nbsp;<A id=snapshot_compare_to_previous_cms-company-3 onclick="document.forms['website']['website:act'].value='website:snapshot_compare_to_previous_cms-company-3';document.forms['website']['sandbox'].value='cms-company-3';document.forms['website']['version'].value='197';document.forms['website'].submit();return false;" href="#"><IMG style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; VERTICAL-ALIGN: -4px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" title="Compare to Previous Snapshot" alt="Compare to Previous Snapshot" src="/servertype/images/icons/comparetoprevious.png"></A>&nbsp;&nbsp;<A id=snapshot_compare_to_any_cms-company-3 onclick="document.forms['website']['website:act'].value='website:snapshot_compare_to_any_cms-company-3';document.forms['website']['sandbox'].value='cms-company-3';document.forms['website']['version'].value='197';document.forms['website'].submit();return false;" href="#"><IMG style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; VERTICAL-ALIGN: -4px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" title="Compare to Any Snapshot" alt="Compare to Any Snapshot" src="/servertype/images/icons/comparetoany.png"></A></NOBR></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></DIV></TD></TR>
    Now - I'm after the number 197 which appears couple of times in the code.

    I know what is the 'My text for label', 'my text for description' and 'my username'. Also those 3 links in form of images have always the same structure, apart from the number in question - number 197.

    How do I extract the 197 number alone ?

    If I would get it, I would use it to identify the link with ID: "id=snapshot_deploy_cms-company-3" and invoke it.

    Basically I want to do this:
    If a TR tag contains 'My text for label' and also contains 'my username', then
    read the number 197
    and... say... save the number into a textbox.
