just open it as a text file, it depends on the version, but OPEN/FOR/AS would be of help in older ones. (vba or vb6 for example)
thnks for your reply can give any example

Hi,
Yes, When you open any HTML file, it does read with all the Tags..
You need to parse the String and remove tags and get appropriate info..
You have to code for it..

You do realize that you are not "reading data" but doing something called "screen scraping" instead.
HTML is a "display structure" not a "data structure." XML is a data structure. For example XML can tell you that the information between two tags is a monetary value, where HTML can tell you that it is only bold and blue. People tend to leave data structures alone, but display structures will change whimsically.
Ok - that said people still do what you are trying to do all the time.
Look at the Instr function in VB. Since HTML is not case sensitive make sure you make your Instr search case insensitive.

XML is not used as a programming language (cannot be used to "read" something). XML is strictly a transfer\storag e syntax. In other words it really is a portable database file. Nothing more. It holds data, and describes it.
If you want to read a HTML file as text you need to use the VB6.0 FIle System Object and then use the string selection functions in VB to extract the specifics you want.

well, sure, it wont be that easy, but it can be done,
for example
lets say you have a Table, i dont remember the exact tags, but lets asume <Table> </Table> start and close the table, that <row></row> start and close a row, and <col></col> start and ends a column, and your data is written like:
<table>
<row><col>a1</col><col>a2</col></row>
<row><col>b1</col><col>b2</col></row>
<row><col>c1</col><col>c2</col></row>
</table>
so it looks like:
a1 a2
b1 b2
c1 c2
if your HTML code is in a string (lets say Str1)
then INSTR(str1,"<ta ble>") will return a Long, with the starting possition (lets call it Dou1)
INSTR(Dou1, Str1, "</table>") will give us the ending possition (say Dou2)
using MID from Dou1 to Dou2 will give you the code for where your data is.
using SPLIT a couple of times will put this data into an array (actually an array of arrays, but its not big deal)
HTH
Kad
Note: i forgot, i think split only works with characters as delimiters, so you might have to use REPLACE to change the tags with some delimiter of your choice.
oh..reading source code..that what I was looking for?
could you post your code for my reference?
thanks.

Dear All,
I need your help to read and convert data from HTML files to MS SQL Server.
Data in HTML is stored in form of tables.
Someone please write a piece of code to open and Read tabular data in HTML.

Hi,
I have these string data: str_data1, str_data2, str_data3, which capture
some value after a routine process A. Then I would like to write (append)
these 3 string values into a text file each time after routine process A,
the text file is named "mytext.dat" in following format with "#####" as
separator.
The maximum entries of them is 5. When reaching the fifth entry, it will
delete the very first entry.
