Extracting metatags from a web page and inserting them in a worksheet.
Is it possible towrite a web query that will extract the metatags from a web
page and inert them in the active worksheet? How? The metatag field of a web page is in the header and not in a table. Suppose the metatag specification in the web page is: <meta http-equiv="keywords" content="Southeast,full-day,half-day,minority enrollment,free or reduced-price lunch,school lunch,region,early childhood,poverty level,preK" The problem is how can the list of keyword be extracted and inserted in a worksheet? The actual URL for this metatag is: http://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/2004...ndicator02.asp Thank you. John Wirt |

Extracting metatags from a web page and inserting them in a worksheet.
John,
Run the Test1 subroutine and it should return the list of keywords. A browser window will appear and once the page is finished loading, the meta tag information is captured. Then the browser window is closed and a message box appears with the extracted meta tag info. If you don't want the browser window to be visible, change the ".Visible = True" line to ".Visible = False". Does the code do what you want? Troy Sub Test1() Dim sURL As String Dim sBeg As String Dim sEnd As String Dim sText As String sURL = "http://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/2004/section1/indicator02.asp" sBeg = "keywords" sEnd = "" sText = fcnIEgetMeta(sURL, sBeg, sEnd) MsgBox sText 'Sheet1.Range("A1").Value = sText End Sub Function fcnIEgetMeta(sURL As String, _ sBeg As String, sEnd As String) As String Dim oIE As Object Dim sHTML As String Dim lngBeg As Long Dim lngEnd As Long Set oIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") With oIE .Navigate sURL .Visible = True '''Loop until the content is loaded. Do Until Not .Busy And .ReadyState = 4 DoEvents Loop '''Capture the HTML text in the <HEAD section. sHTML = .Document.Body.parentElement.innerHTML End With '''Close the browser session. oIE.Quit Set oIE = Nothing 'MsgBox sHTML '''Find the Meta Tag Information. lngBeg = InStr(1, sHTML, sBeg, vbTextCompare) If lngBeg Then lngBeg = lngBeg + Len(sBeg) lngEnd = InStr(lngBeg, sHTML, sEnd, vbTextCompare) If lngEnd Then lngEnd = lngEnd - 1 fcnIEgetMeta = Mid$(sHTML, lngBeg, _ lngEnd - lngBeg + 1) End If End If End Function "John Wirt" wrote in message ...

Fantastic. It works. Thank you very much. John Wirt "TroyW" wrote in message ... John, Run the Test1 subroutine and it should return the list of keywords.
