read other page source as a text stream

[nkrst1]

I would like to parse another web page as if I'm reading it in like a text stream. How would I go about doing this using ASP. I can't use ASP.Net...

so, basically, I want to do something like the following

Set objTextStream = objFSO.OpenTextFile ("C:\autoexec.bat", fsoForReading)

execept "C:\autoexec.bat" is the URL to a web page and I'll read in the source.

Any suggestions?

thanks for the response...

The link above looks like I would have to load software onto the server. I don't have a dedicated host, so I'm pretty sure I can't load my own software onto it. Looks like they did this through VB somehow. I've done this through VB and Access by linking to a .dll... Can I load my Access db with the VB code in it, then have the ASP call that code? Is there another way without having to load software onto the server?
