$read1 = "<span class="smgrayText" style="font-size: 12px;">Time:</span> <span style="font-size: 12px;" class="runtime">03:35</span>"

$read = StringReplace( $read1, "<span class="smgrayText{"} style="font-size: 12px;">Time:</span> <span style="font-size: 12px;" class="runtime">", "" )

I tried running your example code and got this error:

C:\Examples\junk.au3(1,24) : ERROR: syntax error
$read1 = "<span class="smgrayText
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
C:\Examples\junk.au3(2,46) : ERROR: syntax error (illegal character)
$read = StringReplace( $read1, "<span class="smgrayText
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
C:\Examples\junk.au3 - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

YEA thats the problem... how do i work around that?

<span class="smgrayText" style="font-size: 12px;">Time:</span> <span style="font-size: 12px;" class="runtime">

i want this to be 1 string not to be parted in 20 different because of all the "s

Try wrapping the string in single quotes if your string contains double quotes:

$read = StringReplace( $read1, '" <span class="smgrayText" style="font-size: 12px;">Time:</span> <span style="font-size: 12px;" class="runtime">"', "" )

LOL -- I had to read this a few times to figure out what you were talking about. I must be tired.

The character ";" tells AutoIt to ignore this as code and that it's the beginning of a comment. That's why its going green, SciTE is trying to tell you through colors how the your code will be read when executed. To get around this you'll need to do something like:

$var = "class="& Chr(34)&"smgrayText"& Chr(34) 
MsgBox(0,"Debug: ASCII Codes", "$var contains the string:  " & $var)

Search the au3 help file for CHR and also ASCII Codes. There's a number that will represent the semicolon. Hope this helped and good luck!

BTW, you should also study up on the IE.au3 and or the INet.au3 functions. Remember there's usually a better way of doing everything.

Always listen to an MVP over anyone else! Usually the smarter and easier way of doing things. Thanks SmOke_N, one more nugget of info to add to collection!
