HTML Visualizer

Question

I am trying to access content on a website page using:

Uri uri = new Uri("http://www.xyz.com/abc");            // just a psuedo website
HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb();
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument doc = web.Load(uri);

Using the debugger, I look at doc.Text with the HTML visualizer and get a window saying:

'your web browser has restricted this file from showing active content .... Click here for options'

I click there & get a drop down menu saying 'allow blocked content'. I click & get a message saying:

'Allowing script or ActiveX controls can be useful ....... Are you sure you want to let this file run active content'

I click Yes & then see the website page content in human readable form - all well & good.

But, I want to programmatically access the page content - specifically searching each line for a certain word.

Is this doable?? I don't have a clue if it is nor do I have the foggest idea of where to start.

Any help will be much appreciated -- TIA Joe

Hi @Joe Montgomery ,
Your codes are load the doc.If you want to search,you could use "contain()" .You could refer to below articles:

I read the links, but no help. I believe doc.Text is a script that needs to run to reveal the page contents.

Tried to upload doc.Text, but site will not allow for some stange reason. Neither could I attach a file
named Prime.txt
