Space in website structure issue

[TexasTony]

Hey guys,

I'm new here... novice programmer but old-fart engineer.

Here's my problem, I'm trying to pull data from a website but hit a snag.

The website has a structure: Doc.links.Item X.innerText
X is a number, 1-150. Two questions:
1) There is a space between "Item" and the number... how do I get VBA to recognize that?
2) I'm searching through the 150 entries to find the ones with useful data... how do I use a FOR loop to put that # in there. In another way, it would usually be a Item(X) index, but if the # is in the actual name. As I said, I'm novice at programming, how do I make this work?

Thanks
Tony

Could you explain what that means ?

Niya,

Sure, let me elaborate. Note that I'm pulling the data from my Paypal site.

OK, here is some of my code:
Set ie = New InternetExplorer
ie.Visible = True
ie.Navigate "http://www.paypal.com?login_email=LOGINemail.com"
Dim ieDoc As HTMLDocument
Set ieDoc = ie.Document


I stop the code & look at the ieDoc structure. I stopped the program after the Set ieDoc instruction and go to the watch window. Within that structure, some of the data I want was here:
ieDoc.links.Item 1.InnerHTML

The items I want to search are "Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3"... there is definitely a space between the 'm' and the digit.

Does that help?
Thanks
Tony

Wait a second...is this a VB6 app ? We don't use Set in VB.Net. If this is a VB6 app then this is the wrong section of these forums.

I believe it's VB7 for applications, that's what it tells me. I'm running Office 2010, Excel.

Welcome to the forums Tony
I'm not familiar with working on html through code as of yet but I think there may be an Links collection?
That would basically be saying same as Links(0), do you see what I am saying? Get the Links collection and iterate through it

Proneal...

Ba-da-bing!

That was it... now to my next step....
Thanks
