Go Fetch!

I need to do a procedure that will go in to a web site,
get his source, add every link to a ListView and will
be able to show the link in a WebBrowser Control.

use the inet control
t

To read a webpage from the Webbrowser Control:

Code:

---

Text1.Text = Webbrowser1.Document.documentElement.innerHTML

---

To add to a listview:

Code:

---

ListView1.ListItems.Add , , "Item"

---

To extract links from a string:

Code:

---

'ExtractLinks str As String, baseurl As String
'Str is the String To extract links from, base url is the url to use as the base url If no <base href=...> tag is found.
'
To display your links:
Make 2 list boxes, list1 and list2
In a button put:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
For x=1 To ubound(LinkBuffer)


    doevents
        list1.additem linkbuffer(x).TAG
        list2.additem linkbuffer(x).URL
    Next x
End Sub
'
Public Type Link
    URL As String
    Tag As String
    End Type
    Global LinkBuffer() As Link


Public Sub ExtractLinks(str As String, baseurl As String)
    Erase LinkBuffer()
    ReDim LinkBuffer(0)
    thea = InStr(1, LCase(str), "<a ")
    bizace = InStr(1, LCase(str), "<base ") + 6


    If bizace <> 0 Then
        endofbase = InStr(bizace, str, ">") + 1
        If endofbase = 0 Then Goto nobase
        thebasetag = Mid(str, bizace, endofbase - bizace)
        basehrefloc = InStr(1, LCase(thebasetag), "href=")
        If basehrefloc = 0 Then Goto nobase
        basehrefend = InStr(href, thewholelink, " ")
        If basehrefend = 0 Then basehrefend = InStr(basehrefloc, thebasetag, ">")
        If basehrefend = 0 Then Goto nobase
        baseurl = Mid(thebasetag, basehrefloc + 5, basehrefend - basehrefloc)
        If Right$(baseurl, 1) = ">" Then baseurl = Mid(baseurl, 1, Len(baseurl) - 1)
        If Left$(baseurl, 1) = """" Then baseurl = Mid(baseurl, 2)
        If Right$(baseurl, 1) = """" Then baseurl = Mid(baseurl, 1, Len(baseurl) - 1)
    End If
    nobase:


    Do While thea <> 0
        endoflink = InStr(thea, LCase(str), "</a>") + 3
        If endoflink = 0 Then Goto Invalid
        thewholelink = Mid(str, thea, endoflink)
        endofh = InStr(1, thewholelink, ">")
        firsthalf = Mid(thewholelink, 1, endofh)
       
       
        href = InStr(1, firsthalf, "href=") + 5
        If href = 0 Then Goto Invalid
        endofurl = InStr(href, firsthalf, " ")
        If endofurl = 0 Then endofurl = InStr(href, firsthalf, ">")
        If endofurl = 0 Then Goto nobase
        theurl = Mid(firsthalf, href, endofurl - href)
        tagend = InStr(1, LCase(thewholelink), "</a>") - 1
        thetag = Mid(thewholelink, Len(firsthalf) + 1, tagend - Len(firsthalf))
        If Left$(theurl, 1) = """" Then theurl = Mid(theurl, 2)
        If Right$(theurl, 1) = """" Then theurl = Mid(theurl, 1, Len(theurl) - 1)


        If Mid(theurl, 4, 3) <> "://" Then
            If Left$(theurl, 1) <> "/" Then theurl = "/" & theurl
            If Right$(baseurl, 1) = "/" Then baseurl = Left$(baseurl, Len(baseurl) - 1)
            theurl = baseurl & theurl
        End If
        ReDim Preserve LinkBuffer(UBound(LinkBuffer) + 1)
        LinkBuffer(UBound(LinkBuffer)).Owner = CurrentURL
        LinkBuffer(UBound(LinkBuffer)).Tag = thetag
        Invalid:


        DoEvents
            If endoflink = 0 Then endoflink = thea + 1
            thea = InStr(endoflink, LCase(str), "<a ")
        Loop
    End Sub

Matthew,
r u bill's big brother by any chance?

Why do you ask?

hmm
