    Resolved [RESOLVED] Question about Winsock and File search

    Hi
    I would like to know if Winsock or other resources of VB6 can do this:
    basically, I want to search for files in a website, for example, search for *.ppt files in a website.
    If so, tips needed.
    Thank you.

    Web-Spiders / Web-Crawlers do that...

    And Yes, it can be done in VB6 using Winsock

    Web spiders only search, in my example, ".ppt" string in the html files?
    Or they can find any other files that are not embedded in html code?

    If it's not in the html file, then it cannot be found...
