This isn’t VB.Net code. This is PowerShell to put into PowerGadgets. In VB.Net you could use a WebClient object to download the string from that location (altered to the right match), and then use a regular expression to get the score.

But I’m not going to write the code for you – this was an exercise in PowerGadgets, not VB.Net

Ah, so I guess then you don’t even need a second line…

[Regex]::Match((new-object Net.WebClient).DownloadString(“http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ausveng/engine/current/match/249226.html?view=live;wrappertype=mainframe”),”(.*)“,”IgnoreCase”).Groups[1].Value

Using RegEx to then use substring is like crossing the river for water (not sure if thats a saying anywhere else than Denmark):

$ret = (new-object Net.WebClient).DownloadString(“http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ausveng/engine/current/match/249226.html?view=live;wrappertype=mainframe”)
[Regex]::Match($ret,”(.*)“,”IgnoreCase”).Groups[1].Value

You’ll have to change the match number, but that’s not hard to work out. 🙂 Just replace the 249226 with whatever applies to the match you’re interested in.

Very cool! Congatulations on 5-0 sweep in the ashes. I will use your script as a basis to get India-SA scores!
