Find a string in an html file

[imarg]

Hi everyone... I am completely stuck on this and cannot find a solution that works anywhere.

I am looking for a way to open a locally saved html file, and get it to look for a particular string and then if it finds that string then do something else with it....

Does anyone know any code that will do this.

Thanks,

Imarg

This should find (or not find) it.

Dim FoundIt As Boolean
With New FileSystemObject
   FoundIt = InStr(.OpenFile("C:\...\myFile.html").ReadAll,"SomeString") > 0
End With

The rest depends on what the "... something else ..." is that you want to do with it.

Thanks Golom, this looks like it should work... but when I try to run it, I am told that the FileSystemObject class is not defined... how would I prevent this.


Thanks

In the VB/IDE Select "Project / References" and check "Microsoft Scripting Runtime

I am doing this using a notepad editor --> as this is actually a vb script. And do not have access to the references... any other way of getting this to work?
