Need help on reading text

Howdy all,

I'm a brand new developer, self taught from a book, and I'm having a little trouble with a certain action that I'd like to do. I was hoping to be able to read text off of an html document into Visual Basic for use on an ASP website. I'm specifically using Visual Web Developer 2008, if that matters.

Is the link of the site that I'm trying to read the text off of, if that matters as well.

Thanks for any help guys,

BK

Might help to know more specifically what you want to do with the text you read in. But, the FileSystem and File objects may be what you're looking for:

Code:

---

Dim objFSO, objFile, strReturn

Set ObjFSO = Createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = ObjFSO.GetFile(Server.MapPath("moc2004results.html"))
Set objFile = objFile.OpenAsTextStream()

Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
    strReturn = strReturn & objFile.ReadLine() & "<br/>"
Loop

response.write strReturn

---

Of course you can change what you do with the returned object - just an example of reading line by line and outputting it.

File object reference: http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_ref_file.asp

Is that what you're looking for?...
