searching web pages in vb

**dekelc** · May 25th, 2004, 08:15 PM

hello,
I have a phrase in Text1 and an url in Text2.
my question is, how do I search for a phrase in a web page to
see if it's in it or not using vb?

thanks

im assuming you are using the webbrowser control...

VB Code:

Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentComplete(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant)
If (pDisp Is WebBrowser1.Application) Then
    Doc = WebBrowser1.Document.documentelement.innertext
    If InStr(Doc, Text2.Text) Then
        MsgBox "its there!"
    End If
End If
End Sub

I have a list of pages to search. if i open each one and search
in them for a phrace it will take me a long time until I'm done...
is there a fatest way to do that?

not really...

you need to either download them...or "browse" to each one...

ok, thanks [LGS]Static.

but there is a problem with the above code...
if I enter the phrase "<html>" it will also find it...
what I want to search is the web page...

any other suggestions?
