>I want to retrieve a website page which I can do using the IE webcontrol. Is there a function which allows me to extract just the main body of the webpage, i.e. just extract the relevant text of the page which a user would see rather than all the html coding and formatting instructions, etc.?
lcBody=strextract(lcHtml, "<body>", "</body>",1,1)
It's much easier if you go for the DOM of the IE, and do something like
lcText=oIE.document.getElementByTag("body").innerText
I may be slightly wrong in the names here (perhaps missing a hierarchy level or the function is named differently) but you can find those yourself - debugger and/or intellisense would know. Just suspend somewere and look inside.
