How to retrieve the content of a Web Page

by  Mike Gagnon  Posted    (Edited  )
A simple way to retrieve the content of a Web Page.

1. How to retrieve just the text (no HTML tags)

Code: 
oIE = createobject('internetexplorer.application')
oIE.Navigate('www.tek-tips.com')
lcStr=oIe.Document.body.innertext
?lcStr

2. With the HTML tags included.

Code: 
oIE = createobject('internetexplorer.application')
oIE.Navigate('www.tek-tips.com')
lcStr=oIe.Document.body.innerHTML
?lcStr
