Get Page Title (RegExp Q)

Author	Message
Sam Collet #1 / 6	Get Page Title (RegExp Q) I have found the following script (I have modified it slightly) for getting a page title from a string (from a webpage) at http://www.--.com/ function getTitle(s) { var objReg = /<title.>[\n](.)[\n]*<\/title>/gi; if(objReg.exec(s)!=null){ if(RegExp.lastParen=="") return "Untitled" return RegExp.lastParen; } else { return 'undefined'; } Quote: } However it does not work if the title is on several lines. I want the function to return 'Page Title' for both (1) and (2) (1) <title lang=en> Page Title </title> (2) <title>Page Title</title>

Confuse #3 / 6	Get Page Title (RegExp Q) I am confused, why wouldn't you just use document.title?? Sorry for the ignorance.

Sam Collet #4 / 6	Get Page Title (RegExp Q) Because this would not be done using the browser, but using a standalone js file. s in getTitle(s) would be the result of file access via the FileSystemObject and the TextStream Object (there are articles on the web on doing this). The function will be performed on more than one file.
