vb6 Removing html dim as string a = "{a href="stuff"}text{/a} {p}text{/p} { = if ya can help thx

I'm not entirely sure on what you are asking here. But if you are trying to remove HTML tags from a text file then look into the substr function... It allows you to substitute what you want for what you have... in this case, substituting a blank/nothing in place of HTML tags. Infinite Recursion

x = Replace(x, "{HTML}", "") replace everthing in the tag

x = Replace(x, "{[a-z]}", "") {} = greater less then html ??

I am not sure on how to strip all HTML tags from a file using VB in a single line of code (unless you want to run it through a Sed or Awk process ;)) However, using VB's Replace function as: strKeywords = Replace (txtKeywords.Text, "yourHTMLTag", " ") You could have a new string (strKeywords) that has the HTML tag that you specify removed from txtKeywords.Text. Perhaps if you put this in a loop for all tags, or run it through an array of tags for comparisons, etc.. it would reduce the workload. However, I don't know enough about the Replace command to know if it is possible to utilize regular expressions within it... I would air on the side of it not being possible. Although, I looked on the Net for something that may be able to help you and came across something of interest, I did not read much of it. But it is a String Replacements Class within a Entisoft Tools 2.0 Object Library. It may have something in there that could help you remove your tags... otherwise, I would loop through with the VB Replace function and compare against an array of known tags. Infinite Recursion
