[WD23] - Processing HTML
October 11, 2018 08:39AM
Hi All

I want to retrieve a website page which I can do using the HTML control. 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.?

Hi JP,

If you only want the body part then this will do the trick: 
Procedure get_Body(sHTML)
sResult is string
sResult=ExtractString(sHTML,1,"</body>")
sResult=ExtractString(sResult,2,"<body>")
RESULT sResult
Kind regards,
Piet
