Pulling information from one page to another 1

[17washington]

Can some one explain to me this code. I know what it does but I can't follow it.

<CFHTTP URL=&quot;

http://www.mysite.com/sample/default.html&quot;

METHOD=&quot;GET&quot;>
</CFHTTP>
<CFSET Count=FindNoCase(&quot;</font>&quot;,CFHTTP.FILECONTENT)+7>
<CFSET Count2=FindNoCase(&quot;</body>&quot;,CFHTTP.FILECONTENT)>
<CFSET COUNT2 = count2-count>
<CFSET Page=Mid(CFHTTP.FILECONTENT, count, COUNT2)>

<CFOUTPUT>
#Page#
</CFOUTPUT>

The first cfset <cfset count=
Looks for the first instance of the tag </font> in the html of the file you got. Then it returns the position value of that tag plus 7. So it finds the position directly after the first </font> tag.
The second cfset <cfset count2=
is the same, but it looks for the </body> tag.
And finally the <cfset page=
returns the number of characters between the end of the </font> tag and the </body> tag.

Hope this helps
