i want to be able to get all links from the current webpage, and then take the ones that have a certain part of the url. How can i do this. Basically I want to:
1) Get all the links
2) Delete the links that do not contain "/article/"
3) Put those links in a textbox.
I know how to do number 3, but how can I do number 1 and 2?
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.

Private Sub Timer3_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer3.Tick
Dim str1 As String = WebBrowser1.DocumentText

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.
View 3 RepliesI 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]
View 1 RepliesMy application is intended to crawl a URL page and extract all possible links from the page.It works fine for a certain URL but with another it keeps causing problems. When the root page is accessed it correctly extracts the different directory links. but when it requests the directory links html page it pulls the main root URL again. someone mentioned about redirection but when debugging I see the url variable containing the directory link correctly.
View 2 RepliesI'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.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a specific aspx page where I display clickable links based on information in a sql database. For example one column could be the anchor tag another column could be the path to the link itself etc. In the past I would pull this information from sql and put it into a non-visible Label (say linkLabel1). Then in the page itself I would insert <%linkLabel1.text%> to insert the link path from the database to the appropriate area.
What I would like to do is set up a way that I could simply enter a new row into a SQL table with link information and a web page automatically displays the new link for me.
I guess I am mostly looking for insight, opinions, or directions of what approach to consider. I can elaborate if I was unclear (wouldn't be awfully surprising if I was not).
So, when someone makes a website, they decide if they want their link opened in a new tab,window, or in the same window. How do I make it by default that it opens in the same window, no matter what its set to on the website? I just don't like internet explorer taking over on those links.
View 1 RepliesMy website is in the root directory, which is [URL]. I am using this:

Dim directory As String = appPath & "/upload/" & Left(TableName, 2) & "/"
to get the path and it's working very well. But when I create a new sub-folder and copy some pages from the root directory into the sub-folder, my images are not displayed because the path has changed. This is the link from the page in the root directory:

View 2 Repliesmy 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'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.

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.
