Im trying to read that url but the numbers at the end change everytime, how do i make vb know that it will be http://www.google.com/then random numbers here so it will still find the url.

Remove the numbers...
Split by "/"...
Use Regex...

I posted 3 possible ways..

Read the full URL and then remove everything if front of "/"
Or..Split the string of the URL by "/"
Or..Use regular expressions

You have lost me

Splitting that can be quite simple.. Here is an example

Dim url as string = "123:456:789"
Dim Options() as string = url.split(":")

Options(0) = 123
Options(1) = 456
Options(2) = 789

What I basically did was split the string into 3 parts, by the ":"
and put them into an array which is Options().
The numbers represent the index of the array

so in your terms, you'll first have to figure out the whole url that you're using. Will it contain just www.google.com/21484 or http://www.google.com/544354
Using the slit method, you'll have to do it the long way.

Thats just one of the ways mentioned by Bruniz.

Theres also replace, removing, trimming or even functions that you can create. Possibilities are endless

LOL!

If WebBrowser1.Url.StartsWith("www.google.com/") Then '(It could be webrowser1.Url.Tostring.startswith("etcetc"), i dont remember.
