VB 2008 Extracting Links & Text - Links - Parsing Links & Text
Sep 12, 2009
I'm just curious as to how some software programs that I see out there have the ability to extract links & text from thousands of web pages at an extremely high and fast rate. Has anyone here, ever created a link or text extracting program the has the ability to parse many webpages and return data into a textbox? I know how to extract links via the webbrowser control, but it doesn't seem to parse/extract data at a very high & fast rate like many email, link & text extracting programs that I see out there.

my webbrowser navigates to a webpage. I need to store all the links into a collection, I did find the code to do the job (on this forum) and it works, but there is a problem: there are more links on the page than those the code reads, like when i right click on a picture and choose "copy shortcut" I get a link that is not showing when I display the "view source" for the entire page. I can't figure out how to do it.

I've been programming in VB.NET 2005, 2008 and now 2010 for almost 2 years. Just casual little applications, nothing big.In this project I need to parse links from a web page, it doesn't quite work though, it parses the names only and no links.I'll give you my code, let's say for a random page:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
TextBox1.Multiline = True
WebBrowser1.Navigate("http:www.buyfixuse.com")
[code]....
If I activate this function in my application instead of links to the two blog posts on that website, it only gives out the text that is related to these links - (more...)

st getting introduced with visual basic so this may be a simple question or something that makes no sense. BUT, Im making a program that searches Wikipedia depending on what the user inputs into the text box. I have what they searched in my web browser save to a listbox. Im wondering if there is a way to turn this into the history, so they can click these texts in the list box and go back to those previous web pages.

I tried using it and to get it to work I had to add some code to my project:
Public Enum HRESULT
S_OK = 0
S_FALSE = 1
E_NOTIMPL = &H80004001[code].....
I didn't like the fact that I had to use the MSHTML stuff (cause I think IE uses it also, and we all know that IE sucks :) ) and that I had to add code the make it work.Don't want to start a browser-war thread so neglect my last remark.Is there a different (/better) approach of parsing html-pages in VB.Net.Basically what I'm trying to do is get all the links (<a> tags) and embeds (<object> tag) on a page.

I know how to do number 3, but how can I do number 1 and 2?

I got a small issue. Im trying to grab some links(about 5 only) from a webpage that can change frequently.
Im using:
For Each ClientControl As HtmlElement In wb.Document.Links
ListBox1.Items.Add(ClientControl.GetAttribute("href"))
Next
It gets the value of the link the files are (the hyperlink) and allows me to download the file, but I want to get to get the string assocaited with it as well
For example, A link says click here! and bring you to a page.
I can get the link to the page, but not the text click here according to my source code.

I'm trying to write a function that can retrieve all the links from a webpage. I'd like to send only a string containing the URL. Basically, given a string of a URL, I'd like to "load" that into an HTMLDocument so I can access the Links collection. I just can't figure out that part.I've already written the function by using the Document in a WebBrowser. But, after selecting a link, I'd like to get its links, and so, and so on....while the user is still browsing the first page.

I am creating a program and have the following code to extract the URL's off of a webpage and put them in a richlistbox. This is only from one page. The problem is that I am only getting one URL into the listbox, instead of all of them off of the page.
Here is what I have so far:
Private Sub Timer3_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer3.Tick
Dim str1 As String = WebBrowser1.DocumentText

I've got URL's appearing in a RTB as underlined and blue. When you mouse over them the mouse pointer changes to a HAND.
But clicking does not launch a browser and bring you to a webpage - how do you make that happen?

I'm trying to get my program to go to the memberlist.php of a phpBB2 forum and gather all the links to the members websites.
Example: [URL]
I want the program to go to that website and save all of the websites (the ones that have the "www" image) to a list inside the program. I have no idea how to do this, but that's not all, considering most forums have several pages of members (this one has 32 at the moment) it has to go through all of the pages and gather all the links from every page..

I can't figure out how to make my web browser open links in a new page or tab instead of IE. I've tired at least a dozen different sets of code. None of them can be manipulated to fit my browser. When my browser first starts, there's an empty tab control. I put a new webbrowser in it at runtime and set it's dock to fill. I create new instances of the browser for new tabs as well. I just can't find how to make it open links in new windows.

I am currently redeveloping my web browser application using the axWebBrowser component. I have, up to now, managed to port most of the code from my previous application, which used the standard webbrowser component. How would I retrieve a list of links from the current web page displayed in the axWebBrowser and display them in the DataGridView? The following code from my previous application is giving me an error. [Code]

So, apart from the basics, i want to know how to populate the above list Automatically and make sure that the results are ALL Links, in other words, New York is a link, The Bronx is a link, and all the elements in the list are links that i will later attach a queryString to.

I am creating a program for a company and what it does is the following:1. Opens web page and logs in automatically - (Done)2. User selects from 2 folders on the site - (Done)3.ser types in date - (Done)4. User sets default directory for download - (Done)5. User clicks a download button that does the following:5a. Takes date that was put into text box and searches for any related folders and opens that folder - (Done)5b. After folder is open, there is the possibility of being multiple zip files to be clicked and downloaded - (Not Done)My problem is in 5b. I cannot figure out how to select multiple items. I have tried using a wildcard but that doesn't seem to work. I tried setting loops for each link but it only opens that last link on the page

My problem is in 5b. I cannot figure out how to select multiple items. I have tried using a wildcard but that doesn't seem to work. I tried setting loops for each link but it only opens that last link on the page. The zip files to be downloaded are all named in the following manner - 11-22(1).ZIP, 11-22(2).ZIP etc. Also, zip extensions vary from ZIP to zip. Don't know if casing makes a difference. What I currently have the program do is to click each file and begin download. All it's doing is clicking the last file in the list. Whole website is basically a JavaScript applet. The only way to click a file is to search for the link name. [Code]
