How would i put the contents of a webpage into a string?
it would be the same thing as hitting ctrl+A and copying and pasting it.
is there a way to do this programmatically without 'sendkeys' ?
i do not want to look at the html source at all, i just want to copy the text on the site
It's become a night mare. All day today I have been trying to tell the hex contents of the bytes in a string. In this case Im attentpting to detect a VBCRLF. In the debugger this in displayed as a " " and thats it no matter how I have to setting set.It makes it difficult doesn't it? The thing is that debuggers are quite capable of displaying adresses, of course this is only relevant to systems that do not change virtual addresses (which Windows does not)only physical addresses.Why is it impossible to see the values of a vbcrlf (0D0A) in a string? This sytem is becoming impossible to use.

dim id as string ="TabContainerContent1_Basic_MyFirstName"

I read the following question to download a web page whose contents is coded in UTF-8. The page is then converted into a byte array, while I'm using a String to read contents from the page.
I need to turn UTF-8 into Latin1/ANSI since that's what RichText and MessageBox seem to use (I'm getting funny characters).
Is there a more direct way to donwload a UTF-8 page and convert it into ANSI/Latin1?
Edit: When callig MessageBox, accented characters are not shown as expected:
Content = CStr(e.Result)
'Théâtre, Métro
MessageBox.Show(Content)

View 3 RepliesI had a look through this forum and other forums but couldn't find what I was looking for. I am new to visual basic and have spent all day trying to find the solution to the following issue.I am creating objects from a class that store information about the user of the program. Each time a user signs up the program, I need the code to create a new instance of the class, creating an object and storing information about that user. The contents of this object will then be saved into a text file.

View 4 Replieslets say webpage has 2 strings named sampleObj="sample1" and sampleObj="sample2" Even though sampleObj remains the same the text inside, however, changes.How would you loop inside page and get sampleObj text each time? I tried Regular Expressions and GetElementsByTagName but no luck.
View 1 RepliesI have a language that generally contains serialised data messages in a human-readable format, but some productions within the language contain verbatim raw, binary data.My parser uses String for its buffer since that seems to be the easiest thing to work with. However the data is read from a network socket into an array of Byte.
Now, I'm trying to connect the dots between Byte() and String:
[Code]...
But my data is still mangled. I haven't actually been able to deduce yet precisely how the data is being mangled, but I do know that the length of the data is changing, indicating that the bytes are not being left verbatim.
So how can I obtain a String whose contents are just a verbatim copy of the bytes from my Bytes() input?
I got a string array & I need to show the contents of it to a single label. It acts like a clock. The thing is I tried with everything I could but I failed. This is the code I've been trying. Its in vb.net. And theres a thread running to slow down the loop so I can display the contents in a label for 2 seconds.
Dim j As Integer
For j = 0 To readText.Length
label.text=readText(j)
Thread.Sleep(2000)

I have an arraylist of strings, one of them looks like this:It's wet out here and [player id=3686163]Ripper[/player] knows it. That ball was like a bar of soap in a prison - nobody wanted to pick it up. Knock-on.
I need to remove the square brackets and the contents of them, to give:It's wet out here and Ripper knows it. That ball was like a bar of soap in a prison - nobody wanted to pick it up. Knock-on.
The contents of the square brackets are likely to change from string to string, and in some case I may have more that one player in that string.

View 3 RepliesI work for a printshop that screenprints customized hats ,tees and a host of other stuff for a variety of small businesses. Being that we are a small business as well, we can't afford to mass ship catalogs to our clients, so I decided to build a catalog application/business card that can be emailed to them. The app is rep. specific, and after choosing which options suit them best using text fields and combo boxes, upon clicking submit, the customers' info is emailed to the rep.
To do this, I am trying to get a popup window that displays an email form with the 'mailto' address previously set, so it can't be altered and the info from the previous screen to be pasted in the body of the email. Upon clicking the confirm button, the mail is sent and the window is closed. I already have the code to copy the info from the textbox and combobox entries and paste it into the textbox in the next form, but getting the email form to be functional is appearing to be quite a feet.
