[help] How to get only printable string of any webpage

Hello everyone :wave:
I want to know how to get the printable texts only of any webpage in Vb6? I am using webbrowser control.
I am using the following code to get html source

Code:

---

wb1.Document.documentElement.OuterHTML

---

this code is working fine but it is showing the complete source code with Html <> tags. I want to get only the texts which webpage displays on browser.. In browser it doesn't shows Html tags..

I hope you are understanding what i am asking for..

Another thing is I don't know the tag or element name of the webpage, means that can be any webpage.

:sick:

Any help on this topic please?
Thanks
Regards,

Just parse the string < > are the delimiters . Outside that is text , but not all the text . Some tags also can have text as parameter
