Strip XML Tags From A String?
Jul 20, 2010
im trying to strip XML tags from a string. Ive got it working, but I want to add everything between the tags <dvd> </dvd> to list boxes. Currently it only adds the last thing that is between these tags, in this case ants. How do I get it to add Shrek II then Ants, then anything else that follows etc? Here is my
Private Sub btnSimpleStrip_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSimpleStrip.Click
Dim iStartTagPos As Integer ' Store start Position of the Start tag
Dim iEndTagPos As Integer
Dim iStartSearching As Integer
[Code]...

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'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 know Val() is a VB6 function, but one thing I like about it is that you can wrap a string in it and it will "extract" the numerical value from the string if there are other things present (i.e. Val("123 Main St.") returns 123). This is the way my teacher taught us to use it. I know about the .TryParse and .Parse methods of the different data types, and how those can be used to check for a numerical value, but is there a replacement that can strip any non-numeric value from a string to put it in an integer (or double, single, decimal, etc.)?

"Form1" has a ToolStripContainer1.TopToolStripPanel which contains a ToolStrip with buttons. The buttons work on ONE click when "Form1" is active.If I click on another window and then return to "Form1" the ToolStrip buttons take TWO clicks to activate.The first click returns focus to "Form1" and the subsequent click fires the button event.I want the buttons to work on the first click and not require two clicks.Note that ordinary buttons on "Form1" that are not part of the ToolStrip work on the first click when returning from another window/form?

I'm trying to match on some inconsistently formatted HTML and need to strip out some double quotes.
Current:
<input type="hidden">
The Goal:
<input type=hidden>
This is wrong because I'm not escaping it properly:
s = s.Replace(""","");
This is wrong because there is not blank character character (to my knowledge):
s = s.Replace('"', '');
What is syntax / escape character combination for replacing double quotes with an empty string?

I am trying to strip the first 75 characters from various strings (sentences / phrases) and it seems right but I need to ensure that the now words are truncated in the process. Meaning that if the 75 character is part of a word it needs to fall back to the beginning of the word or nearest space..
I thought of stripping the entire string into separate words and then counting the length of combining the words and stopping when I reach the target but what do I do in the case when it is not a valid sentence just a bunch of characters jammed together. I thought of using grammar parsing tool libraries and parsing into tokens etc but that seems to over complicated.
if text.length() > 75 then
ctext = text.remove(text.length, 75) & "..."
endif
I put elipses at the end but using the above I also get the error:
does anyone have any better suggestions.

With my code as I have a trouble with the returned strings that I have extracted from my php source to add the strings in my listview.
I'm reading the tags of mystrings1 and mystrings2 for each paragraph from the php source. I got the returned strings which it looks like this:
PHP
<p id='mystrings1'>my strings</p> | <a href="http://xfvasfasfasfasf">Link</a> </td> | <a href="delete.php?id=0">Delete</a> </td> | <span id="mystrings2">Enabled</td>
I want the returned strings to be like this when I reads the tags of mystrings1 and mystrings2 while ignore the other tags.
PHP
<p id='mystrings1'>my strings</p> | <span id="mystrings2">Enabled</td>
Here's the
Public Sub timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
timer1.Enabled = False
timer1.Stop()
[CODE]...
Do you know how I can ignore the other tags when I get the returned strings of mystrings1 and mystrings2?

I have a string full of html & which reads
Dim strHml as string = "<html><head><title></title></head><body><div class="normal">Dog</div>
<div class="normal">Cat</div><div class="normal">Elephant</div><div class="normal">Giraffe</div><div class="normal"><div><p>Random Div</p></div>Lion</div><div>Wolf</div>
<div>Tiger</div></body></html>"
I want to somehow be able to pull all the div tags and their content and put each one into an array have looked at split function and regular expressions but no clear and easy solution has presented itself as yet.I have amended this slightly to incorporate nested div tags, but those tags I still need returning in the format :-
<div class="normal"><div><p>Random Div</p></div>Lion</div>

Greetings, I'm looking for a way to encode a string into HTML that uses human-readable tags such as ê (=ê). At the moment, I am using the HttpUtility.HtmlEncode() function, but it appears to return numbered tags instead of human-readable ones. For example:
Dim str as string = HttpUtility;HtmlEncode("vente - en-tête")
'Expected: vente - en-tête
'Actually received: vente - en-tête
Is there a setting or function in ASP.Net to encode a string into HTML resembling the first comment?
EDIT: I am looking for this kind of functionality because the text is saved HTML-encoded in the database. The text comes from a bunch of MS Word documents that have been converted to HTML.

I am planning to create a system for my case study wherein i can Add tags from images and search for it by "tags" such as photobucket. For example i open an image to my system, and it's file name was "WhiteHouse.jpg" and i added or tagged it as "Building". Once i search on my computer, and type the word/keyword "Building", the image "WhiteHouse.jpg" will be displayed on search results as i tagged it on my system.Is that possible guys? or i can only search by tags using my system/application? and not in the search command in my computer?If it is possible please tell me what to do. or if you have sample vb.net2008(windows Application) files it will be helpful. Or if you have sites related into it. pls send me those links, especially downloadable vb.net files w/ codes for further studying.

Quick query...I'm trying to scan a long string and return any values that occur between the tags <FileName> and </FileName> I've got a bit of code here to use regular expressions to return the position of the occurunces of both substrings..Just wanted to find out if there is any way to scan for both substrings within one loop (as im currently doing 2, one for the first substring and one for the 2nd) so I can use something along these lines:
ringlist = Mid(XMLRESP, (startloc + 1), (endloc - 1))
MsgBox(ringlist)
to msg box the value between the substrings...either that or another approach to return the value between the 2 substrings (it can be of variable length)
Dim patternstart As String = "<FileName>"
Dim patternend As String = "</FileName>"
Dim matchesstart As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(XMLRESP, patternstart)
