Removing Code from a text file.

HEllo community, I have an odd question.

THis is a VB question because i want to automate this procedure with an app.
Import text file.. Strip.. then save striped version..

I have to format some HTML code by stripping out the script sections...

For example..This is what i have

Code:

<html>
<body> yadda
<script> yadda yadda
</Script>
<br>
<script> yadda yadda
</Script>
</body>
</html>

THis is what i want...

Code:

<html>
<body> yadda
<br>
</body>
</html>

Im seeking help on the logic used to parce through the text file removing the scripting elemets as it finds them...

Well, you can use some Regex to find the tags or you could just use the IndexOf method of a string to find it.

Pseudo Code:

Code:

Integer First = 0, Second = 0
First = MyText.IndexOf(0, "<script>")
Second = MyText.IndexOf(First, "</script>")
MyText = MyText.Remove(First, Second)

Adjust and repeat as necessary.

SO i can put that in a loop as it finds each start script tag <script> then execute the code as it parces through the document...?

Yup. Put it in a loop and when it find a start and the next tag (the ending tag), kill it, and loop again.
