Hi guys, two things, i want to make a text box where i can type in web address and when i click go the program scans the text on that webpage for a name say Joe Bloggs. How would i do these two things, i have done the load webpage thing before but cant remember how but the second thing is my real problem

Thanks guys
Alex

Don't even bother these people can't do it they don't know VB that much,

It's not lack of knowledge, it's, as Hack intimated, lack of interest in helping someone with your attitude.

So I posted asking for help with an attitude ?
I think not, it just makes me mad when somebody just can't tell me if they know or not, or tell me if I have an attitude which when I asked for help I did't,

Thank you!

Can anyone else shed light on the matter?

There's tons of code here on the forum for scanning html or scanning web pages, you just have to do a search.

X2 needs an attitude adjustment


young.. take a look at the tutorial on my site (link in sig)

Thanks static, that looks like what i need, but here attached is what i have done, the button called button1 is the one i want to press to scan the webpage for links, and place the results in the listbox, but it says there is a problem, which i cannot figure, about the AHREF.href bit
THanks

young.. thats .NET and is a whole different ballgame.. this needs to be posted in the .NET forum ;)

so different to what i have done, what needs doing because i didnt see the difference between vb and .net in the program?
Thanks static

i have not used .NET much. someone else will have to chime in and tell you the differences when using this

hint: you could always use the vbscript5.5 regex methods to extract URLS...
