Thread: Extracting a single line from a HTML

Iv seen this posted around the web a fair bit but nothing has answered my question.

Below is a HTML file which im trying to extract a line from, I'm trying the use line 101 in particular the comment Open/Unset to trigger an action in visual basic. This field switches from Open/Unset to Closed/Set.

Id like this to trigger an action in a program iv created using visual basic, any help would be appreciated.


<table bgcolor="#FFFFFF" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="120">Reference No : </td>
<td width="10"> </td>
<td width="80"><span id="lbExternalRefNo" style="font-weight:bold;">33395</span></td>
<td>Site Name : </td>
<td width="10"> </td>
<td width="300"><span id="lbName" style="font-weight:bold;">Paul / Allwood Residence, Clinton & Rachael </span></td>
<td>Status :</td>
<td width="10"> </td>
<td><img id="StatusImage" src="Door3.gif" alt="Open/Unset" style="border-width:0px;" /></td>
</tr>
</table><br>

<script language="javascript">document.Form1.__TabStrip_Co ntrol_State__.value=0;</script>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" id="TabStrip_Control" style="display:inline-block;height:40px;width:750px;">
