Hi

I have started working on a program which is kind of a bot thing. First it gets the source code from a HTML page and puts it all into a single string. This part is working.

Now in the source code there might contain a line which looks like this:

if('1' == '0' || 'abc' == '123')

123 is always the same and its not important but instead of 'abc' each page has a different string and this is the thing I want to be displayed in my textbox.

So basically I want the program to find a line starting with if('1' == '0' || and then read out the 'abc' value.

Hope you understand what I mean. Thanks cooll;

You could use a regular expression, I'm not good with those but here's one generated from txt2re.com

Code: Select all

        Dim txt As String = "if('1' == '0' || 'GET THIS' == '123')"

        Dim re1 As String = ".*?" 'Non-greedy match on filler
        Dim re2 As String = "\'.*?\'"    'Uninteresting: strng
        Dim re3 As String = ".*?" 'Non-greedy match on filler
        Dim re4 As String = "\'.*?\'"    'Uninteresting: strng
        Dim re5 As String = ".*?" 'Non-greedy match on filler
        Dim re6 As String = "(\'.*?\')"   'Single Quote String 1

        Dim r As Regex = New Regex(re1 + re2 + re3 + re4 + re5 + re6, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase Or RegexOptions.Singleline)
        Dim m As Match = r.Match(txt)
        If (m.Success) Then
            Dim strng1 = m.Groups(1)
            MsgBox(strng1.ToString().Replace("'", ""))
        End If

Works fine cooll;
