I want to make a little program for fun and am wondering how I should go about doing it. Basically I want to know if I can do it in VB or if I should look into another language.

My program will receive an html file from a server. Search through that file and send back an html request to the server depending on what it found on the page.

So I need to know how to recieve and send information to a server from a vb program. Any information you can give me on how to do this or where to look/look for would be well apreciated. Thanks.
 
If you simply want to read the HTML file, you can use the INET control, and ask it to retrieve the source from a website, giving it the website address as a paramater.

If you want to send the server data, in the web address, you can also do this by placing the parameters in the web address eg
There are a few other threads her ecovering the INET control, otherwise search google for INET VB and you should find what you need.
