Re: extract text from html

Patrick ,

if you mean your Goal is just simply removing the HTML tags from a string

i made a function for this purpose with some Regex

Private Function stripHTML(ByVal strHTML) As String

Dim objRegExp As New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("<(.|\n)+?>")

Return objRegExp.Replace(strHTML, "")

End Function

i use this in a winforms app that stripes websites for valuable information
with a webclient
