    Resolved [help] How to get only printable string of any webpage

    Hello everyone
    I want to know how to get the printable texts only of any webpage in Vb6? I am using webbrowser control.
    I am using the following code to get html source
    Code:
    wb1.Document.documentElement.OuterHTML
    this code is working fine but it is showing the complete source code with Html <> tags. I want to get only the texts which webpage displays on browser.. In browser it doesn't shows Html tags..

    I hope you are understanding what i am asking for..

    Another thing is I don't know the tag or element name of the webpage, means that can be any webpage.



    Any help on this topic please?
    Thanks
    Regards,

    Just parse the string < > are the delimiters . Outside that is text , but not all the text . Some tags also can have text as parameter
