Total Players [PHP/VB-Inet]

I've just created a nifty little script which grabs the total number of players from the Runescape website.

If you want to include it in your Visual Basic apps, feel free to do so, you can see it in action at:

It just includes numbers and nothing more, no HTML formatting, so you can customize how it looks inside the client itself.

 

pretty neat, thanks.

but we would still have to browse a page/link either way we did it.
splitting works just aswell.

Code:

textbox1.text = split(split(strdata, "There are currently ")(1), " people playing!")(0)

assuming strdata had the page source on it..code should work i did it off the top of my head so iono..

 

Right, but that's in VB isn't it?
Actually, that is a pretty neat command, but I don't think it exists in many languages; that's why I thought this would be particularly useful.

 

nah it works in both vb/vb.net
i'm sure the C languages aswell as java or whatever, can do the same thing.
the code is just different for each.
