[dba-VB] regex

Hi Francisco

I may be missing something, but what do mean by "a printable character by xml". The Ø is perfectly printable (at least here where it belongs to our national set of characters!).

By the way, the diameter sign is not really an "O-slash" but a true circle with a 45 degrees angled line across. It can be found in the Symbol OpenType font (symbol.ttf) from Monotype Corporation as well as the old Microsoft Symbol bitmap font, symbole.fon.

anybody here good with regex? or classic ASP?

I need to convert the following Ø to a printable character by xml, I
am using the following object to read a webpage on my server that is not
pre-parsed in XML and it's the way the source system works...The idea is to
be able to yank the text [Liner Kit, 1.75" MAX Ø] out of the original
document and push it back out via XML so when I hit the url it looks like
http://localserver/myhtml2xml.asp and I get a standard xml feed using the
XML document, but I keep getting an error reading that O slash character,
other than that one character I can't seem to nab it, I've tried instr for
the exact character but to no avail, my current function just does a few
instr functions to nab the html down to this node, but I really probably
ought to get down to the span tag instead of the td tag.  If you have
ideas, let me know it's late and I need to get this thing kick started... :(

Set objXMLHTTP = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

<td id="ANALYSIS_interactive_pivot_ruid9648" BiTp="h2" cc="5" rr="1382"
align="left" class="urSTTD urSTTDBdr urSTSHL2"
style="vertical-align:top;height:21px;"><span
id="ANALYSIS_interactive_mc9691_tv" ct="TV" class="urTxtStd"
style="white-space:nowrap;">Liner Kit, 1.75" MAX Ø</span></td>
