[Resolved] Simple Question.. Reading from a web page...

[hamsterhuey]

Ok, I'm quite sure this is a lot easier than it sounds, but can anyone point me at how to read information from an outside web page? I.e., check http://www.somestupidwebpage.com for the words "Updated Available", then read the update number after it, or such? Or, even just check the properties from a web page, to see the date of the last update.

I'm 1/2 way worried this requires building my own baby browser; when I last played with VB (VB 5), it looked that way.. Any easy way to do it now?

Thanks!
