How to Call function in .JS file | Pass 2 parameters | Get Result as String
I'm trying to call a javascript function from within VB6.
Details:
* The javascript function is contained in a file named "htmlparser.js" and this file is installed along side the .EXE file when the application is installed.
* The function is called "parse" and it takes 2 parameters: URL and HTML
The function call looks like this:
Code:
htmlparser.parse(url, {html: '<html><body><p>Some HTML to be Parsed</p></body></html>',}).then(result => console.log(result));
How can I call this function from VB6 and retrieve the result into a string variable? Do I use .execscript or wscript or what?
TIA

You don't need any javascript-support, to read-out the plain-text from some HTML-Document-input
(if that's what you are after, which isn't entirely clear)...
FWIW, here's a simple function, which does just that:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Debug.Print HtmlToText("<html><body><p>Some HTML to be Parsed</p></body></html>")
End Sub
Function HtmlToText(sHTML As String) As String
With CreateObject("htmlfile")
.write sHTML: HtmlToText = .body.innerText
End With
End Function

Can I access the the functions in v8.dll from VB6? Can I just add v8.dll via the References menu and call its functions?

This JS parse function produces clean HTML so you get the text portion without losing the links and images.

Without any example-outputs (and the source of htmlparser.js), this will remain a "guessing-game".
