okay so i need to find patterns on a webpage, how can i set my COMobject outputted to a var so i can search through it?? here is my code so far

OK so im confused what are you wanting to examine
some text?
subject lines?
does the element have an id attribute
what shows when you use the dom viewer and mouse over it

yah each element has a id and a class, but the id changes so i just need to be able to save the html to a variable, so i can use regex to go through the var and find the id, then i can use COM to manipulate the id

Perhaps a better solution would be to download the URL to a variable then RegEx the html to match for that name.

Here is the COM process for UrlDownloadToVar.

yah, i know i could do that, but it seams like its resource hungry to do that, want ot use the page i already have stored as a object just in useable form

I would think Internet Explorer is more resource hungry than UrlDownloadToVar, but if you specifically need the browser window, you could use the innerHTML property of the HTML element, document.body.innerHTML (body only) or document.documentElement.innerHTML (entire document).
