After I screen scrape a page, I need to get the address that is between
this html block.=20

<td width=3D"275" colspan=3D"2">
<font face=3D"MS Sans Serif" size=3D"2">P.O. Box 1507</font>
</td>

I need to get "P.O. Box 1507"

Any simple examples? (I have the HTML in a string called sHTML) The HTML
is always exactly like this.

It depends ...

first you need to know if there are other places that use the same font
tag ...that can cause a problem when mining.
basically you introduce a regualr expression to pull it out.
but try something like....
Dim r As Regex
Dim m As Match
Dim str As String
r = New Regex("(?<=
>font face="
"
>MS Sans Serif
"
>" size=
""
>2"
"
>>
)(.|\n)*?(?=</font>)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
m = r.Match(sHTML)
str = m.Groups(0).Value
