How can i grab text ONLY from a website html but only the text and not the html?
i want to grab this site[URL]..i used this code
TextBox1.Text = WebBrowser2.DocumentText But when i grab it it comes out like this
sdfasdfad<br>asdfasdfa<br>dfasdf<br>aasd<br>fs<br>dfa<br>sdf<br>asdf<br>asd<br>f<br>as
I want to make a desktop application for [URL]..if anyone is familiar with any of these sites (Fmylife etc), they will know that the text is in the white bubbles going down the screen.
Is it possible to grab just the stories, and ignore everything else?
I have tried this kind of thing:
Private Sub Grab_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Grab.Click
Dim Actual
Actual = Mid(MLIABrowser.Document.Body.InnerText, 397, 1000000)
RichTextBox1.Text = Actual
End Sub
This just gets all the text after the 397 character, but there are several problems with this:
- The adds on the page are different every time, so it would be impossible to get a constant
- There is still text on the sides and bottom that is being grabbed
- I also do not want the "comments" etc shown. JUST the story...
TextBox2.Text = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("msgplace").InnerTextBy the ID "msgplace" has multilple texts with that ID but I dont want it to return all of them. The source code is
<div class="msgcontents">
Text here...
</div>

Which works in most case but when I have a single value like this
<CLASSCOD>N</CLASSCOD>
It says there are no matches.

If possible, I would also like to make a listbox of all the servers/realms in World Of Warcraft, giving the user the ability to change the realm that they want from the list because the prices will be different. Another thing would be a specific item instead of the ones already listed in the initial table (see link if you don't understand). You can search items on the website, I'm not sure how I could incorporate this so the user can select a specific item.

All I've been able to do is create the form. We have to get information off of a website and load certain information back into the textboxes on our form.
Assignment 6 - Text Parsing Many applications require you to extract information from a block of text. We will be using this heavily in the project. This project is designed to give you some practice extracting information out of text files. You will need to open up a file, search the file for some specific content, and then copy that content and place it on screen.
Go to Jobs.com and select a state that starts with the same letter as your last name (if there is no state that starts with the same letter, use the second letter, then the third letter, etc.). For example if my name was 'John Byway', since there was no B or Y, I would pick a state starting with W - either Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, or Wyoming.
The idea is you want to extract all the jobs information out of the page. We want to put the jobs names in a combo box, so the use can pick any of the jobs. Ideally, this would also show the information about each job. You don't need to do that. However, you do need to extract the information and put it on the screen (When you load the next job, the old job information will be lost, and you will be left with the information about the last job loaded)
Tasks
1. Go to the above address, view the source in the browser, copy and paste it into a text file. You do not need to access the Source of the web page within your application.(in IE go to View / Source; In FireFox go to View / Page Source)
3. Extract each job title and place the name in the Combo box.
4. Find and extract the following fields. Note, some jobs may not list all of these. In that case, get as many as are presented.
a. Date
b. Title of job
c. Company
d. Location
[code].....
Indicate on screen how many jobs you found. Note, you only need to look on the first page of jobs?
