In ancient Greek religion and Greek mythology, Demeter is the goddess of the harvest. This code sample demonstrates how to harvest the headers and html code of a web site via VB6.
The code presented here shows how to download the header information and html code from a web site, and save that data to text file. In this code, the following items are demonstrates:
- Controls:
- Microsoft Internet Transfer Control 6.0 for retrieving web site data
- Microsoft Common Dialog Control 6.0 for use of system save dialog
- API:
- ShellExecute API to open the default browser when a link is clicked
- General:
- Responding to events with actions
- string concatenation
- writing to a text file
While this bit of code is meant to be a demonstration for beginners, it can also be expanded on, potentially becoming a full-on web crawler.
