Saving an htm file as text 2

[lag1]

When looking at a webpage that contains tables of data, simply saving the webpage as a .txt file will save it pretty much as it appears on the web without all of that html code. That is what I would like to do using VB6.

I would like to accomplish this similar to the discussion on forum:

http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=999128&page=1

The goal in that forum was to SAVE a file without prompting. I would like to SAVEAS a file without prompting, to save the page displayed as text rather than the html code behind the page.

Thanks!

See the following code. This may give you an idea.
___
[tt]
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim IE As Object
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Navigate "

While IE.Busy
DoEvents
Wend
Open "C:\content.txt" For Binary As #1
Put #1, , CStr(IE.Document.body.innertext)
Close #1
End
End Sub[/tt]
