Exclude Matched String And Getting Value Of HTML Span Element
Nov 13, 2010
1. How do I exclude a string that is matched?
I have something like this:
You answered question 1 correctly. You have been awarded
<a href="url"> 1 point</a> .
You answered question 2 correctly. You have been awarded
<a href="url"> 1 point</a> .
You answered question 3 correctly. You have been awarded
<a href="url"> 1 point</a> .
You answered all 3 questions correctly! You have been awarded a total of
<a href="url"> 3 points</a> .
So basically I want to filter out all those in bold, it should look like this when printed to a textbox:
You answered question 1 correctly. You have been awarded 1 point.
You answered question 2 correctly. You have been awarded 1 point .
You answered question 3 correctly. You have been awarded 1 point.
You answered all 3 questions correctly! You have been awarded a total of 3 points.
2. How do I get a value of HTML span element? (I'm not sure how to phrase this but I think you will get it if I show a example..)
It goes something like this...
<span class="quiz1">Question 1:</span>
<span id="q1">Question Here </span>
I want text in bold to be displayed in a label. Do I use getAttributeByID here? How do I use it in VB.net?
I need to grab some data from a webpage but for me the main problem is I can't grab the data the way I want. I want to grab the data in a listview control but my code is fetching all data within any span tag (span class "inputFieldLabel" which is not required) in a single column of a listview control. I am giving the format (source) of the webpage below and my coding in vb.net (2008),
<br> <span class="inputFieldLabel">Following Are ...</span> <span class="inputFieldLabel">01/02/2011</span> <span class="inputFieldLabel">And</span>
I need to connect to a web page, extract a string between <span class="uniq_name_one"> and </span> tags and display it in my program, wait 30-120 seconds and do it again....
This may sound really stupid but I have to ask cause I'm not finding this answer anywhere.I have an application where the user will need to sign up for a new user account on the website [URL]..However when I am using Firefox's plug-in Firebug to view html I am getting something totally different than when I just right click on the site and view the page source.
What I am trying to do is to get the captcha from the website and display it in a picturebox on the application so the user can view the captcha, solve the captcha and then the app post is back to the service for a response.
Here is the source that I am getting using Firefox's Firebug to inspect the element:
<td> <input type="hidden" value="Oo3Jo1I8bgzK68agMqo3s79ZZib2OkbK" name="iden"> <img class="capimage" src="/captcha/Oo3Jo1I8bgzK68agMqo3s79ZZib2OkbK.png" alt="i wonder if these things even work"> </td>
[Code]...
Why would the two be showing me two different versions of the HTML?
And how would you be able to grab that source to view in a picturebox using webclient?
I am looking for a regular expression that can convert my font tags (only with size and colour attributes) into span tags with the relevant inline css. This will be done in VB.NET if that helps at all.I also need a regular expression to go the other way as well.To elaborate below is an example of the conversion I am looking for:
<font size="10">some text</font>
To then become:
<span style="font-size:10px;">some text</span>
So converting the tag and putting a "px" at the end of whatever the font size is (I don't need to change/convert the font size, just stick px at the end).The regular expression needs to cope with a font tag that only has a size attribute, only a color attribute, or both:
I also need another regular expression to do the opposite conversion. So for example:
<span style="font-size:10px;">some text</span>
Will become:
<font size="10">some text</font>
As before converting the tag but this time removing the "px", I don't need to worry about changing the font size.Again this will also need to cope with the size styling, font styling, and a combination of both:
I am extracting basic HTML & text from CDATA tags in an XML file and then displaying them on a web-page.The text also appears in a rich-text editor so it can be edited/translated, and then saved back into a new XML file. The XML is then going to be read by a flash file, hence the need to use old-fashioned HTML.
The reason I want to convert this code is mainly for display purposes. In order to show the text sizes correctly and for it to work with my rich text editor they need to be converted to XHTML/inline CSS. The rich text editor will also generate XHTML/inline CSS that I need to convert 'back' to standard HTML before it is saved in the XML file.I know the temptation will be to tell me a number of different ways to set up my code to do what I want but there are so many other permutations I haven't even mentioned which have forced me down this route, so literally all I want to do is convert a string containing standard HTML to XHTML/inline CSS, and then the same but the other way round.
I am not an ardent developer in vb.net programming. But off late I am using vb.net to develop a windows application.
The following is what I am trying to do:
I am reading an excel file and storing the string value present in each cell, and trying to match the string in a word file.
The program works fine except that I am having problems in returning the page numbers of the matched string.
The page number value is always returned as one.
The following is a piece of what I had written:
If FindStringInFile(wordfilename, vValues) Then currentPageNumber = word.ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection.Range.Information(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdInformation.wdActiveEndAdjustedPageNumber) TextBox3.Text = currentPageNumber End If
wordfilename is my word file and vValues is my excel string data
I've got a form which loads all the files from a selected directory into a list box, a user then enters a string into a textbox and then loops though all items in my listbox, there is a match it adds it to another list box - this is a simple method of search for all documents. I can only seacrh for perfect matching strings right now.
HTML i have a program that gets google links (and there html code)how could i get all elements inside of that and take each one out so i can format them in a specific way.
I need to click this button in vb. like click a button in webbrowser1 <input type="submit" name="ok" value="send" class="btn sbold slarger">I've scoured through the internet, but alas, i failed to look
I need a HTML element location (X and Y) in WebBrowser... Not the OffsetRectangle.Location one where you get a location coordinates inside parent element. I need a location coordinates inside the webbrowser...
When I click button 1 for the first time I recieve the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." but when I click it the second time it returns the elements text perfectly.
I thought the wb.document element might not be instantiated so I've tried navigating to a page (google's homepage) before loading the page I want put with no success.
I also thought that maybe it wasn't giving the page time to load so I added the sub to deal with the documentCompleted event but this also returns nothing (though wb.document.url is set correctly to the webpage I want)
I was looking at a previous post and the poster was talking about htmlelement, so what I want to know is if you can use this function to find a html element on a wb page.I'm trying to make a program that will find the img src url for an image on a website and then return that url to the imagelocation of a picturebox.
Been searching all forums for an answer to this problems for several days now without success.I am trying to Cast/Bind to an HTML Element in an open Internet Explorer 8.0 browser.I need to Cast/Bind to a Frame with a name of "mainFrame".I can get to the Frameset ok but cannot get any further.[code]Can anybody shed any light on how to get HTMLDOC to bind the name part "mainFrame"
1. Some buttons have a site that I want to run them through my program (with button 1) through the following command:WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("ID").InvokeMember("click")I look at source code of the sites and see the button, the problem is I did not see the ID is always his, or it finds the Id, but does nothing, what's the problem with this?
How to retrieve the absolute coordinates of an HTML or CSS element from the webbrowser control using Visual Basic? I am using VB 2008 Express Edition. I would like to be able to display the control in my application and then using the HTML Document Object Model (I guess?!) get the X and Y coordinates (top, left, bottom, right) of a DIV or other HTML tag.
WHen we click on site whether left click or right....Control goes to IEDoc_MouseDown event,I just want to ask is that possible to know taht which element is clicked..Suppose we right click on link,is that possible to know it that link is clicked.[code]
I have the following on my interface / webform: <div id="mydiv" class="forceHeight" runat="server" />
now I have a dondition in my code behind where if a certain situation is true I need to remove the forceHeight class from this control. I know in C# you can use:
mydiv.CssClass.Replace("forceHeight", ""); I'm not so sure how you do this using VB? Intellisense doesn't offer me this option?
How can you find a specific HTML element in a webbrowser.document? I'm making a program that will go to a specified address on the internet and find a html element and get the src link from the element then return the src to the imagelocation of a picturebox. Is this at least possible?

I'm using HtmlAgilityPack to parse HTML. I want to check if an element has a specific attribute. I want to check whether an <a> tag has the href attribute.
Dim doc As HtmlDocument = New HtmlDocument() doc.Load(New StringReader(content)) Dim root As HtmlNode = doc.DocumentNode Dim anchorTags As New List(Of String) For Each link As HtmlNode In root.SelectNodes("//a") If link.HasAttributes("href") Then doSomething() 'this doesn't work because hasAttributes only checks whether an element has attributes or not Next
I need to app to go through all the elements <div class="address"> and check the length of the text inside it. if its less than or equal to 2, then it needs to skip the following line and check the next <div class="address">Here is my code:
Dim content As String = "" Dim web As New HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlWeb Dim doc As New HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument() doc.Load(WebBrowser1.DocumentStream) 'this is where I need to check if text inside divclass="address" is <= 2 Dim hnc As HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlNodeCollection = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//div[@class='address']/preceding-sibling::h3[@class='listingTitleLine']")
