Question

I’m writing a small vb application to extract some text using Html Agility Pack.

I need to extract some on tags from the html and not the text nodes.

iParagraph is a collection of nodes containing tags like: strike, u, strong, b, etc. It also contains text nodes. I just needed to skip the first text node because I always know that it will be empty. This is because I’m using CKEditor.

If you need further explanation please ask. I will clarify.

Below is a sample of what I’m trying:

Dim paragraph = iParagraphNode.SelectNodes("//body/p and not([contains(text()]))")

Answer 1

The solution is good enough for now:

I just decided to do the following to skip the next node:

Dim test = iParagraphNode.SelectNodes.FirstChild.NextSibling.Name = "tag"
