vb.net - VB 2008 - Extracting data from website question -

There are more problems coming with some code for my HKK Whatever I am able to do, is making the form. We have to get information about a website and return some information back to the text box on our form. I need a push in the right direction if someone can help.

Assignment 6 - Text Parsing

Many applications require you to remove information from blocks of text. We will make heavy use in this project. This project is designed to let you know how to remove some customs out of text files. You have to open a file, search the file for some specific content, and then copy that content and keep it on the screen.

Go to Jobs.com and select the state that starts with the same letter as your last name (if there is no state that starts with the same letter, then the second letter Use, then third letter, etc.). For example, if my name was 'John Bayway', because there was no B or Y, I would choose a state starting with W- Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin or Wyoming.

The idea is that you want to remove information about all jobs outside the page. We want to put jobs in a combo box, so use can choose any job. Ideally, it will also show information about each job. You do not have to do this though, you have to remove the information and put it on the screen (when you load the next job, the old job information will be lost, and you will be left with the last job filled information)

Tasks 1. Go to the above address, view, copy and paste the source into the browser, paste it into a text file. You do not have to reach the source of the web page inside your app. (See in IE / see source, see Firefox / Go to Page Source) 3. Remove the title of each job and enter the name in the combo box. 4. Find and remove the following fields. Note, some work can not list all of these. In that case, get as many as presented.

a. Date B Job C Title Company D. Location E. Job Description F url associated with "more" for each description. Experience level H career level i. Education level

5. Indicate how many jobs you got on the screen. Note that you only need to see the first page of jobs

Regx is a great Here are some links to the type of text that needs to be parsed:

Note: A well-defined RegEx pattern In this task you will get heavy lifting for more than a dozen lines of code.

PS for future reference and maybe now ... Cut out the crap out of your question. It's ridiculous to choose a state with a letter in your name. Please take it out just this Is misleading.
