for a project Im working on right now I need to make a Post grabber, it needs to get the contents of a post (with username etc) in HTML
so far I have this:
string[] Posts = new string[0];
string Start = "<div class=\"windowbg\">".ToLower();
for (int S = 0; S < page.Length - Start.Length; ++S)
{
string part = page.Substring(S, Start.Length).ToLower();
if (part==Start)
{
int A = 0;
for (int E = S; E < page.Length - 2; ++E)
{
part = page.Substring(E, 2);
if (part.StartsWith("<") & !part.EndsWith("/")) {++A; }
if (part == "</") { --A; }
if (part == "</" & A == 0)
{
Posts = AddToArray(page.Substring(S, E - S), Posts);
S = E;
break;
}
}
}
}but is doesn't always give me the post or sometimes not enough

Consider using Regex. Much more elegant and probably faster.
And is that Java?

Visual C# which would be the mircosoft .NET version of java

but I dont want to be depend on Regex, cause its a suprise and I want it to work on everyones computer (everyone with Windows) without having them to upgrade their .net version

Isn't regex a part of .net framework 2.0?

Well learn it. I did and now I couldn't live without it!

Okay, found out. Infact, its a part of the 4.0 framework... Which sucks.

I made this so far, it now returns almost every post
string[] Posts = new string[0];
string Start = "<div class=\"windowbg\">".ToLower();
string End = "<hr".ToLower();
for (int S = 0; S < page.Length - Start.Length; ++S)
{
string part = page.Substring(S, Start.Length).ToLower();
if (part==Start)
{
for (int E = S; E < page.Length - End.Length; ++E)
{
part = page.Substring(E, End.Length).ToLower();
if (part==End)
{
Posts = AddToArray(page.Substring(S, E - S), Posts);
S = E;
break;
}
}
}
}
return Posts;

Kinda fucked up to read :D
When I was doing a client for an online dictionary, I didn't know regex at that time. If you want I can show you the extracting part. It's in Delphi though, but you may still get the algorithm idea.

I said it doesn't use Regex.
Here is the code from few years ago :D
I used this to get an explanation for the word.
function pavyzdys(yKur : ansistring) : ansistring;
var Pavyzdys : Record
Start,Endd : integer;
end;
i,m : integer;
begin
//====
result := '';
//====
if AnsiContainsText(yKur,'<p class=''pavyzdys''>') then
begin
Pavyzdys.Start := AnsiPos('<p class=''pavyzdys''>',yKur);
i := Pavyzdys.Start;
m := 0;
repeat
Inc(i);
m := m + 1
until (AnsiPos(Copy(yKur,Pavyzdys.Start,m),'</p>') <> 0);
end;
//====
result := Copy(yKur,Pavyzdys.Start,m);
end;
