I get smething like

<p><HTML>

<Title>

Request Submitted

</Title>

<body>

Request Submitted

</p>

<a href=javascript.history.go(-1)> Continue </a>


</body>

<HTML></p>

I wan to get following from above html

<p>

It can be different based on api response. Like server busy , server dwon. invalid request. How can i do this ? Do i need to use classic as string functions ( instr, substring etc)

Please suggest me.

Substring:

Dim sItem as String
sItem="This is my String"
sItem.SubString(5)

Instr:

Dim lg
lg=instr(1, sItem, "the")
response.Write (lg)

VBScript supports Regular expressions. Use it to extract the desired portion of the complete string.
