Read the source code for that then split it by using <strong> as your delimiter. If the count is constant you could easily get the value.

there more then 1 strong.... it gives me error when i try to do that

[zynder]

I know. So you'll have to make a condition to that. I counted it and there's only 5 of them and the one you're looking for is second to the last.

so you will less 1 from the upper bound of the array or simply put assuming its a constant value.

yourArray(3) << there is your value

You need to include Instr() and some Mid$() to trim the strings.

wow >__< soo confused lol can u narrow it down for me? or provide some code?

This is a quick example.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim ff As Integer
Dim myArr() As String

ff = FreeFile
Open "c:\www.ijji[1].txt" For Input As ff
myArr = Split(Input(LOF(ff), ff), "<strong>")

MsgBox Mid$(myArr(4), 1, 2) ' assuming the number of players are 2 digits only.

Close ff

End Sub

I've attached the sample source from the website. I am in a rush buddy. You'll figure it out by yourself.
