The problem is that this reads all of the HTML tags as well. Ideally what I want to do is get rid of all of the unnecessary information such as ads and table headers, but want to preserve all of the data so that I can update my DBs with the click on a button. Is this possible? I have heard I may need to use Regular Expressions, but am confused how they'd work in my problem.

I'm trying to analyze web pages for seo. I'm trying to create my own personal tool to extract all the keywords and tags from web pages (a little clearer).I already know how to extract or parse links and text from web pages. The issue is that I tried to implement title tags, body tags or keyword tags in general via using the following code:
Dim theElementCollection As HtmlElementCollection = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("a")
For Each curElement As HtmlElement In theElementCollection
If curElement.GetAttribute("href").Contains("http://twitter.com/") Then

View 1 Repliesi'm trying to get the following data from within the html tages <td class="colRight">CWCH60</td> where CWCH60 is the data which changes and needs to be extracted. I have tried the following Regex patterns
[^td|<|>|/|class|s|^="colRight"][A-Z|a-z|0-9][^</td>]
[^<td][^s][^class][^="colRight">][A-Z|a-z|0-9][^</td>]
[^tdsclass=""colRight">][A-Z][a-z][0-9]
all work fine in an online regex builder/tester but return WCH60 when executed. Why would this occur, is there a simple operator i have missed out?

I remember seeing a tutorial on reading XML somewhere and took no notice of it because I have my own way of doing things. In this tutorial the author outlined a basic way of reading certain XML nodes using tags
For example,
<Root>
<Person tag = 1>
<name>John</name>
[Code].....
Now in his example one would be able to navigate to John's "person" node by using the tag value. I had hoped I would never have to venture away from my warm and comfortable way of working with XML but because of an annoying datagrid and uncooperative XML format I've had to rethink things.

After starting a new project for easy "Templates" I am wondering on how I can preview the template.
Here's my situation. I have a form with 2 richtextboxes. One for editing, one for previewing. This application is basically for HTML. For example, bold in HTML is <strong></strong>. If the user types the tags with text in between these tags, I want them to be able to preview this text in bold (assuming the tags are <strong></strong>.)
I'm not sure how I can preview it. Lets say the user types this phrase in the RichTextBox1:
<strong>Hi World!</strong>
I want the preview to show Hi World! because I put bold tags around the phrase "Hi World!". The reason why I need the textbox to use tags is because this application's purpose is to simplify work with HTML by allowing the user to "see" and preview what they are writing.
Here is what I have to insert text by click of a button. (Works perfectly)
Private Sub InsertBold(ByVal selection As String)
RichTextBox1.SelectedText = selection
End Sub

This page here has a table I need to parse.
It has multiple tags like this:

I have been making a media player in vb.net. I need to get information from the Mp3 Tags. First I used ID3v1 tag reading class which I downloaded from somewhere I don't Know. Well it was working fine. it retrieved information like Album, Artist etc. but i need to get the lyrics as well. So I got news that ID3v1 tags do not have lyrics in them as a field. So I tried ID3v2 tag reading class but that too did not help. Can't find any class that can get me the lyrics.
I tried to fiddle with the classes but only ended up messing the whole thing.
I am making a small utility to rename my music library to the same syntax (00-Artist-Album-Title.mp3). All the files are MP3 and are correctly tagged (ID3). This is my current

Line 33 is where I need to get the song's ID3 tags from Song. I've done a fair amount of research but I can't find anything current or relevant.
