How to Split HTML String?

Hello,
I use XMLHTTP to get an HTML of another page. Then, I need to cut some
middle part of that HTML string but I have problems doing it (see note
in caps below). The error I have generated at response.write (because
it does not split) is:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0009'
Subscript out of range: '[number: 1]'
/get_item.asp, line 55

Dim objXmlHttp
Dim strHTML
Set objXmlHttp = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP")
objXmlHttp.open "GET", "http://www.site.com/item.asp?id=10, False
objXmlHttp.send
strHTML = objXmlHttp.responseText
Dim FullHTML : FullHTML = Server.HTMLEncode(strHTML)
HTMLArr = split(FullHTML,"") 'THIS DOES NOT
SPLIT
response.write HTMLArr(1)

dim PureHTML : PureHTML = FullHTML 'HTMLArr(1)

Please, suggest.

Are you trying to split on a string?
Your example shows this:
""

The delimiter in Split() is only one character?

Syntax
Split(expression[, delimiter[, count[, compare]]])
expression -- Required.
delimiter -- Optional.
String character used to identify substring limits.
If omitted, the space character (" ") is assumed to be the
delimiter.

If not then post an example of the string that needs to be split
along with your Split() statement.

How the string is retrieved (as long as it exists) doesn't matter.

It should work, test by trial and error:



I suspect the string FullHTML does not contain the search string.

Test by:

response.write HTMLArr(0) & "
"
response.write HTMLArr(1)

or by:

Dear experts!
If this will work:
dim a, b
a = "aaabbb"
b = split(a,"")
response.write b(0) '' aaa
response.write b(1) '' bbb

this won't:
Dim objXmlHttp
Dim strHTML
Set objXmlHttp = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP")
objXmlHttp.open "GET", "http://www.site.com/item.asp?id=10,
False
objXmlHttp.send
strHTML = objXmlHttp.responseText
Dim a: a= Server.HTMLEncode(strHTML)
b = split(a,"") 'THIS DOES NOT WORK
response.write b(0) '' aaabbb
response.write b(1) '' error

It must be because of the data type or something I suspect? But
cStr(a) does not help too. Also, there is
in that code, for sure!
Thank you all.

You are wrong pointing at in the error line,
because the error text you quoted was:

>> Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0009'
>> Subscript out of range: '[number: 1]'
>> /get_item.asp, line 55

being about a nonexistent subscript,
it cannot have been the line with the split()
but it mut have been this line:

>> response.write HTMLArr(1)

Conclusion: the split() works OK,
but there is no HTMLArr(1),
so the split did not find the string searched for
and returned an array with only one member.

QED.

Do this:
Response.Write a

run the page and view source. Do you see in
the source?

Or do you see something like this:
<!--item code separator-->

when I do what you say:
HTMLArr = split(FullHTML,"")
I only get:
response.write HTMLArr(0)
and HTMLArr(0) does contain 2 lines of

Just copy and paste this code to ASP page to see it not working, if
you can, and let me know, if possible:
(not, this is a fake example)

Dim objXmlHttp
Dim strHTML
Set objXmlHttp = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP")
objXmlHttp.open "GET", "http://devguru.com/technologies/
javascript/home.asp", False
objXmlHttp.send
strHTML = objXmlHttp.responseText
Dim FullHTML : FullHTML = Server.HTMLEncode(strHTML)
HTMLArr = split(FullHTML,"")
response.write HTMLArr(1)


Thanks

No no no
response.Write FullHTML. Run the page. View Source. Do you see "" or "<!--item code separator-->"?

OK, I guess I have to lead you by the hand. :-)
After using HTMLEncode, your string no longer contains "". It contains "<!-- Main Content Begins -->", a
fact which you can ascertain by writing the string to response, running
the page and viewing source. You either have to do this:

strHTML = objXmlHttp.responseText
Dim FullHTML : FullHTML = strHTML
HTMLArr = split(FullHTML,"")
response.write Server.HTMLEncode(HTMLArr(1))

or this:

strHTML = objXmlHttp.responseText
Dim FullHTML : FullHTML = Server.HTMLEncode(strHTML)
HTMLArr = split(FullHTML,"<!-- Main Content Begins -->")
response.write HTMLArr(1)
