-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- here is a freebie. this code fragment can be used in VB on a microsoft platform to parse e-gold automation return fields. if you think it is worth something, then try an e-gold donation to: http://loavesandfishessoupkitch.homestead.com/donate.html or http://www.ca.lp.org/ * * * ' function to get the value of an HTML field such as ' <input name="fieldname" value="xxxyyyzzz"> Private Function ExtractField(fieldname As String, RawData As String) Dim xDoc As MSHTML.HTMLDocument Dim elLinks As MSHTML.IHTMLElementCollection Dim el As MSHTML.IHTMLElement Dim elLink As MSHTML.HTMLAnchorElement Set xDoc = New MSHTML.HTMLDocument xDoc.body.innerHTML = RawData Set elLinks = xDoc.All.tags("input") For Each el In elLinks If UCase(el.Name) = UCase(fieldname) Then ExtractField = el.Value Exit Function End If Next End Function * * * the RawData input would be the complete HTML buffer returned from e-gold. this function basically looks at all the input tags trying to find one that matches the requested name. it then returns the value of that field. this function uses one of the DOM capable objects that makes parsing HTML easier than doing it yourself. of course it requires you have certain packages like IE5 installed. jay w.
