hi,i made a simple project with a wmp and a txtbox
i can insert the url of a media file and press f5 and it starts playing,sometimes this url is a link from the internet not from the computer.if it was from the internet,so how can i save (download)it to the computer?.And how can i make it extract the media url from the link?
if i have an mp3 file link from 4shared.how can i make it extract the url of the media file and play it and an option to download it ?
well the way i thought of is to view the source of the file and search for a link with name starting with someting and then set it as url of wmp and play it and have an option to download it.
is it possible?.is there a better way to do this?
i hope i am clear enough


oh,i've found a part of the code
TextBox1.Text = WebBrowser1.DocumentText
i will make the link be opened by a webbrowser and then view the code
now the part i need is how to extract the url of the audio file and play it and then i will look for a way to download it after that.

Take a look at the WebClient class.

System.Net.WebClient...

i guess u mean
imports System.Net.WebClient
and after i do it,what next?
and how can i make it search the link i want to find,and if it found it ,mark til the end of the line except 2 characters( " & ; )
how can i make this?i don't think i will have trouble with copying the selected text and and playing it.
well.i can now use richtectbox1.find("") to select some of the text,but how can i make it select the rest of the text until the first ( " )? or with selecting a number of characters after the selected text?
thanks in advance.

well more important is if i could select some text in the rtb using richtextbox.find("something")
how can i make it automatically select some text before it and after it till the end of the line except 2 characters? and before the selected text with about 10 characters?
