Please help

Hi i want to extract some imformation that is in a web page that is in cgi.
The way i'm doing is accessing the page with the webbrowser control and extracting the code and filtering.
It works well but some pages when you enter it open others web pages in external browsers.
I try with inet control but it doesn't extract the hole code (i think it is because the page is in cgi and it have java scripts).
Does anyone know how to do this and not alowing that browsers to be oppened??

It would be helpful if you re-phrase the question. I'm not clear on what you are trying to do, and what isn't working.

I want to access a web page and use its source code to find some strings.
BUT some web pages open another pages in other web browsers.
And i don't want my program to open a web browser.
Sorry for my english

ok, I think I understand what you are saying =)

ok, you are using MS Internet Transfer Control (Inet)

and you just want to read the source html and parse it, extracting data.

so, do something like this:

ex.

Sub GetHTMLFile()
  
  Dim buffer as String
  
  Inet.AccessType = icDirect
  Inet.Protocol = icHTTP
  
  buffer = Inet.OpenURL("http://www.somewhere.com/index.html", icString)
  
  '' not sure if this is needed
  '' this was from some old code
  Do: DoEvents: Loop Until (Not Inet.StillExecuting)
End Sub

buffer String should now contain the whole index.html file

Is this what you want?

That doesn't work
I think that inet only work with html.
The page that i'm trying to acces is something like:

http://www.domainname.com/cgi-bin/test.cgi?antoniobegue

So that is why i used the webbrouser control but the webbrowser control open other ie windows
