Sorry Sergey. Have you looked at the page? If you save the page, the values are not there to parse. As in original question, the HTTPWebRequest gets the text
getVal("windrun", 1) + ' km ' NOT the 165 km ( as shown on the screen ) so how is the parser going to work when the value 165 km is not in the file ? Thanks Ian.

Hi Sergey. As I am not a full time programmer and when I do program it is in vb.net and usually trivial stuff versus full blown applications, I need a bit more support. Firstly, can the html_parser actually get the values I require ( as described above) If so, how please. I have tried several ways to no avail. I also don't see how I can use the parser on a URL. Only a saved document.

Hi Sergey. Thanks for your reply. I compiled the above but I really am not sure how to load my URL. The full app is designed to loop through 1200 days of data and I create a file with date, Mean Temperature and Windrun.
