View 10 RepliesI was just wondering how to extract or parse any particual tags (whichever I specify) from webpages. I know how to extract text and links from webpages, but I tried to use the same method from the following code for div tags, title tags etcetera and it doesn't seem to work:

i have a webrowser and i need to find about 10 links all begining with [URL], from the html code of that site. The websites in the code wont be clickable, they are usually listed on a forum. The end of the link above can be diferent, so im not sure how you could find the end point. No assumptions can be made as to the code that will be after the link, as every website is different. The link then needs to listed in a listbox for further processing.

I think I've seen C# (or maybe C++) code use lines like this but I cant find any way of getting the value from the DLL in VB.NET
My program uses the serial port to receive characters as a string, then it should extract the integers from this string. This seems fairly simple, but so far has been a very tedious job.
My string is called txt. The problem is that there's no telling how many characters / integers txt will hold at any given moment. For instance, it may equal "4" or "4 5 6 7" or "P 0 1 2 3 4 5 6...255" - with spaces included. I need to reference every number within this string to use as data. I've tried the following:
dim c as new char
dim n as new integer
dim i = 1

This is my second post on this topic. I included all the code this time. In calculate click event the value is zero and I don't understand where I went wrong. My work is due tomorrow, if anyone can tell me why I can not extract the price from the string. What this program is doing is taking items from the stockListBox and adding them to the shoppingList Box then extracting the price from the shoppingListBox and adding the prices together.t a note- in public class I changed the string and seperated the price from the item, not sure if I was suppose to do that.lso, everything works except the calculate event.

Many types of credit cards have the same format. This format is XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX, where X is a digit.The dashes are embedded into the string containing the card number.Create a console application to * Declare String variables Partl, Part2, Part3, Part4, and InputString. * Read a credit number consisting of 16 digits only, no hyphens, into InputString.* Write the statement(s) to extract each four-digit segment into Partl, Part2, Part3, and Part4* Display the four parts.This is what I have, and I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong because there is an error when it runs.

I m trying to write a program that is mostly dynamic. This program enables the user to read in several inputs (temperature, pressure .) and perform calculations on those inputs. After that the program sends an integer to an analogue output port. The program automatically determines the number and type of the inputs. It also creates something called a variable handle for each input.This is then saved to an array input_handler(0,x). That array is sized this way input_handler(0 to 1 , 0 to 9)
0= handle (integer)
1= value (integer)
The program dynamically creates a button for every input. There also is a button for every mathematical operator. This way the user can create a function by pressing buttons.This function will be saved to a string. That string will look something like this input_handler(1,0)+ input_handler(1,4)/ input_handler(1,3)Well now Im stuck with a string and VB will obviously just print out that string instead of calculating anything. Is there any conversion I can perform so that string becomes the actual array values?

I have a string which is xml data which is very nicely indented and well formed. Dim xmlstring as string I am trying to pass the above mentioned string to a Java Web Service but the input parameter datatype is string array. I am converting the string to string array as shown below localws.receiveNotification("TestQueue", xmlstring.ToString().Split(CChar("")))
As the datatype for the input parameter in the above webservice is string() array for some reason my XML data is getting messed up and lot of elements are breaking and appearing in two lines and my xml data is no more well formed.

View 10 RepliesI am using an API (WSUS) that will give me an XML fragment that I need to work with. Essentially, I need to go through the fragment element by element, identify what type of element it is, and then put that element into the datagridview. The goal is to have a column with a human readable interpretation of the element, plus that actual element itself in a hidden column for further processing. So, using the below XML, I want the DGV to have column that says "Begin Or Group" and a hidden column with "<lar:Or>".
I can get an xmltextreader to loop through the elements just fine, but I can't figure out a way to return just the current element in XML. I've tried ReadString, Value, ToString, and a bunch of other stuff but just cannot seem to figure it out.
Here's an example fragment:
<lar:And>
<lar:Or>
<bar:WindowsVersion Comparison="EqualTo" MajorVersion="5" MinorVersion="0" ServicePackMajor="4" ServicePackMinor="0" />

Basically this is my problem, showing the results of a string. I am making a program for a customer and he wants to be able to extract a string or set of emails from a large group of text. In this case he wants to be able to copy a webpage and extract all the emails out of the webpage. The problem i am having is showing the results of the List(of string) Function. So far, I can copy the page, paste the content to a textbox and then i have a function that is supposed to filter out the emails and paste or Show them in a list box.
I dont know why but no matter what I do I always get this error:
Error1Value of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of String)' cannot be converted to 'String'.
This happens when I try to output the return results to a textbox or list box.
Here is the code for the whole program:

I've two Strings which I'm loading from a SQL Server 2008 database (nvarchar-field)After loading them from the database Visual Studio 2010 displays them as follows in the watch window:
str1 = "Test"
str2 = "Test"
But the comparison with str1 = str2 returns False If I write those strings to a file with UTF8 Encoding the result is as expected:
Test
Test
If I write those strings to a file with ANSI (Default) Encoding the result is NOT as expected:
?Test
Test
Converting the strings to bytes:
System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(str1) 'Returns ByteArray {63, 84, 101, 115, 116}
System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(str2) 'Returns ByteArray {84, 101, 115, 116}
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(str1) 'Returns ByteArray {239, 187, 191, 84, 101, 115, 116}
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(str2) 'Returns ByteArray {84, 101, 115, 116}
Where is the Byte 63 in case of ANSI Encoding OR Bytes 239, 187, 191 in case of UTF8 Encoding for str1 coming from?Well, Bytes 239, 187, 191 are the BOM for UTF8. The question here would more likely be: Why do I get the BOM for str1 but not for str2?(Well, the values are values passed to a webservice which inserts them into the database, the initial values are passed to this webservice by a client I've no control over)
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?
I have a program made in VB that on a button click extracts a exe file from its resources to the HDD then runs the program and deletes it after it closes. I first used the desktop to extract the file to, but seeing as I need to use this program on several computers the account names will be different so this is of no use. I've tried using C: but access is denied.

I am trying to take specific information from a web page and then process that information so that it can be sent to a label or text box.Previously, I had wanted to do this by using Regular Expressions. I've looked around and it seems that using regular expressions to parse information isn't always the best way because website aren't always coded to standards.Regardless, learning regex isn't working out too well for me. So, I was wondering if there was another way to do this?I was thinking that I might be able to use the web browser control. It would be ideal to be able to see the page in the form, select the information, and then be able to display it.
