Re: Problem getting value between html tags

You can use string functions to achieve your goal:

VB Code:

Dim a As String, f As String
Dim b As Integer, e As Integer
a = "http://localhost/new/player.php?song=,""album.php?show_albums,""3018"",""3019"",""3020"",""3021"""
b = InStr(1, a, "=")
e = InStr(2, Mid$(a, b + 1, Len(a) - b), ",")
f = Left$(a, b) & Replace(Mid$(a, b + e + 1, Len(a) - b - e), """", "")
Debug.Print f

Re: Problem getting value between html tags
thank u for u reply. But the integer values at the end of constructed url is not know before hand!!

I want my program to just get those intgers and put them in my constructed url as shown above:-( .

My program already collection the integer values for for some reason i gets some extra thing (may be there is similer pattern in my html VALUE="..... "></td> and it has album.php?show_albums). i tried to do like this by loooking at intgers between this pattern :

ONCLICK="reviewSelection();" VALUE="3027 "></td>

to make unique .The way i did it by replacing this line :
VB Code:
```
If GetLine(RichTextBox1.Text, "VALUE=", " ></td> ", sResult)
```
by
VB Code:

If GetLine(RichTextBox1.Text, "ONCLICK="reviewSelection();" VALUE=" ", " ></td> ", sResult)
but it gives me strange errors!!

In addition my constructed url contains this " between song ids and i do not how to remove thme from my constructed url!

Re: Problem getting value between html tags

Try it like this instead:

VB Code:

If GetLine(RichTextBox1.Text, "VALUE=""", """></td>", sResult) Then
        ' Occurances were found and have been placed in the array
      
        Text1.Text = "http://localhost/new/player.php?song="
 
        For n = LBound(sResult) To UBound(sResult)
          List1.AddItem sResult(n)
          Text1.Text = Text1.Text & Split(sResult(n), "=""")(1) & IIf(n = UBound(sResult), vbNullString, ",")
        Next n
