Dave,
Thanks for responding. My application is to download current AB
ticker stock quote from Yahoo into a file; I then strip all the HTML
junks and search for Open,High,Low,Close,Volume informations and
insert these into AB. Kind of poor man intraday quotes. I had this
working with previous Yahoo format (a bit simpler). Now they
reformatted their quote page therefore I looked for a more robust
solution. I know you would ask why not use Amiquote; This is just a
start for me because I would like to extend the codes for other datas
as fundamentals etc. I was hoping Jscript has a function that
helping me do this.
