</SELECT>
in this code i want to split the values like Accounting,Administration of Justice..
all subjects during runtime and store it in a combobox

[mendhak]

It's already in a combobox format (a select box). What am I missing here?

All you're missing is the </option> at the end of each line.

Is this "source code" you showed me not in your web page?

Also, PM RobDog888 and ask him to move this thread to the ASP.NET forum. He's a good mover and shaker.

[stanav]

If this is an html source code of a web page and you want to extract information from it, Regex is a good candidate.

[karthiknpm]

yes i want to split this names only and stored to a combobox in my form pls send me vb.net code for such process.website for that html code is
{https://bannerweb.avc.edu/avcprod/az_tw_zipsched.P_search}

[mendhak]

Use an HttpWebRequest. Request the page, get the string back.

Using regular expressions, look for the bit where it says

<SELECT NAME="sel_subj"

Because sel_subj identifies that <select> uniquely.

Get all the text between that select and the closing </select>.

Now you can use regular expressions again to get the text after each of the <option>s, or you can replace each <OPTION with </OPTION><OPTION so that it's valid enough to be loaded into an XMLNode or some XML manipulating class.

thank u so much
i need another help pls visit that site and click the department u can see that the datas in the department.first store that page in local drive and i want to save the department datas in a text document during runtime pls help me with sample code.

[mendhak]

Same as before. Just find your 'unique' markers to start the string parsing.
