is this possible? JL?

all ican do right now is to just download the source code of the internet page..

is that what you are asking?

well, anyway, here's code for what i have.

' No declerations
' just place a microsft internet transfer control 6.0 on your form and a txtbox

Private Sub Form_Load()
Inet1.OpenURL ("http://www.andreavb.com")
Text1.Text = Text1 & Inet1.OpenURL
End Sub

sorry if this ain't what yer lookin' for.

Re: Download text from a webpage

Well, in order to get the text, you have to get the code for the page. Getting rid of the HTML stuff could be tricky, but not impossible.

i totally agree...

that's what i also wanted to mention...

it would be really tedious to code for removing the other stuff, though i think the code i posted is the starting point of this inevitable madness.
