Is it posible to pull html from websites into desktop x?

Yes, I think so. I'm no expert but I was fooling around with the source code from this daily factoid site and even though it wasn't formatted to be read like xml I could still pull the information I wanted from the HTML code.

Load up the webpage that you’re trying to get info from and go to your explorer Commands bar > View > Source. If you can view the source code this might work. Take a look at the code and see if you can find the information you want to ‘pull’. Does it have an identifier like a specific html tag or a unique syntax? If so, you should be able to get an rss reader to pull that information. Let me know if this is a start in the right direction.

I haven't worked with these personally, they're pretty new I think, but DesktopX has some built in techniques for getting HTML.

Look at the System.SendRequest(remoteUrl, postParams, bAsync) sample from
DX Docs (Scroll to bottom)

There's a sample of how to make the request, and the callback that will have your result.

If you can't use standard XML or RSS style parsing on the received data, there are several options for extracting it, as sViz pointed out.

One frequently useful approach is to use the vbscript Split function. W3Schools
If there are identifying strings around the relevant data, you can split the HTML into an array at those strings. Like if the page displayed the names:
Name: Hooter
Name: Killjoy
Name: Jester

You could Split(WebPageSourceHTML, "Name: ") to get an array of strings. You'll find the names at the beginning of the strings in Array(1-3). You would split these strings themselves by a space to fully extract the name data. Sometimes you'll split more than once. Like split for tables, get the table you want, then split it for some other identifier to isolate the desired info. When using splits, remember that the string in NewArray(0) is the text before the split, and the strings in NewArray(1-n) are strings that come after your chosen delimiter. I'm just saying this is a time where I often forget about the zero momentarily and have to rethink it. Once you get a good parser together, though, you can do a lot with it.

As long as the HTML from your server info presents itself the same way each time, you should be able to use string manipulation vbscript on the 'pagecontent' results from a System.SendRequest to extract any information you want.

*slaps forehead*

If forgot the quotations around "Get".    Will get back to you.

Okay well, my DX says it doesn't support system.sendrequest so I'll just have to stick to the RSS method.

There is a tutorial on how to make an RSS reader by CerebroJD WWW Link

Took me a while to figure it out but once I got the hang of it I was able to make my very own RSS feeder.(To be released soon)

That looks like you got it going just fine. If you want the specific information you'll have to find each bit you are interested in. You can do that like you have been, narrowing down to the important stuff.

Looks great to me, you can use multiple text objects or create a long string with vbTab and vbNewline to emulate a table--once you snip out the key info.

If you want to display all the information, consider styling the table you've already extracted with CSS. It's already well laid out, and the html has class assignments in place.

Thanks sViz and rabidrobot for your time. Thats exactly what i was trying to do sViz, thanks, ill mess around and see if i can get rid of spaces and stuff.
