Text lookup in remote url ? - ASP / Active Server Pages

Chops

Hi All.

This has got me stumped

Is there a way that we can search a remote web page for a specific line of
text?
We can check if a specific URL exist using the "MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP" object
witch works just fine, but is there anyway we can search the page for text
using this same object.

Thanks for the help

You can use that component to issue a GET request for the page, and analyse
the response (ie search through the text that's returned, presumably between
the <body></body> tags)
