Extract String from html file

[greatsoulz]

string::copy --> method was useful but it was brief. How do i extract a word or phrase from html file and display on the screen? Do i need to use any special class or include any class?plz help!

You do it the same way, you would do it with any other file.
How do you know which word are you looking for?
If your word is after some tag you know, you cold iterate through the file, find the tag and add the length of the tag to the char* you got.
You will of course need <fstream> and <string>.
