Strip All HTML Contents Except Anchor Tags
Dec 2, 2011
I'm importing data from 1 database to another. I've been requested to strip all HTML content, as its messy and not valid, and just keep the links. I currently use the following VB.NET function to strip all HTML tags from a string of content:
Public Shared Function StripHTML(ByVal htmlString As String) As String
Dim pattern As String = "<(.|
)*?>"
Return Regex.Replace(htmlString, pattern, String.Empty)
End Function
I'm looking for a way of stripping all, but a (anchor) tags from the content. For example if I have the following HTML content:
<table><tr><td>
Lorem <a href="[URL]">Ipsum</a>
</td></tr></table>
This will simply become:
Lorem <a href="[URL]">Ipsum</a>
How can I do this?

I have a label that I put a hyperlink into with the function:
[Code]...
I want to gain access to the the string title + "/" + cost + "/" + asin in order to split it with String.Split("/"). I'm getting an error when I just try Dim fields As String() = Label1.Text.Split("/"). What function should I use to get just the text that is between the <a> tags?

I'm trying to open up an html file (with explorer) and navigate to a specific anchor location. The user should just see the file open up at the anchor's position. It's a local html document, not on the web, if that makes any difference. How can I do this in Visual Basic 2008?
So far I've been opening html files with Process.Start(filename) or Shell(filename, "explorer.exe", etc), but that doesn't seem to work with the additional html anchor tag (#anchorname) at the end of the file name. Also I've looked at webbrowser control, but as near I can tell that is more for editing html files.

I want to open a local html file in the user's default Web browser, and jump to an anchor within that file. In other words, I would like to have a result similar to clicking a link to localfile.html#my_anchor.
I've been using the System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(String) method to open html files, and this works fine. In the following example, I open a file named "info.html" in the "SomeInfo" subfolder of the folder containing the application:
Dim
ProcID As

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

Try to extract all the keywords from the title, body etc. for this page:[URL] and send it to separate textboxes (title keywords in textbox1, meta tags in textbox2 etc.).

i'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?
