Hi,
Can anyone help with the following please ...

I would like to find examples of various ways of extracting the useful 
data from a basic HTTP Get using a TClientSocket with the output 
displayed as text in say a TRichEdit component.

While I have mentioned two VCL components my query does not really 
relate to them but more to the most efficient and or appropriate ways of 
getting the required data from the HTML source code received in the 
'Get' aside of simply stripping out the tags and leaving the other text.

Any pointers to useful resources where I can read about this would be 
appreciated.  Thus far all my searches have taken me to 'normal' web 
browser related activity.  At the moment I have too many ideas and not 
enough focus.
