Re: Parsing html strings

I don't think fgets is going to do it. I am more interested in what to do with the map html file once I am able to get it via the snoopy class or some other method to extract the map. Anybody have other ideas on how to strip the map out of the the page that maps.yahoo.com or mapquest returns. I am sure this has been done before. Thanks, Stan "Hans H.
