Reading in an HTML page from CGI Scripts

[Guest]

Hopefully someone has had to handle this type of situation in .NET before. I have an ASP.NET (VB.NET) that has an interface to an API CGI script program. I send a credit card number, amount, etc to the API via a HTML interface doing a form post to that specific server and port. The API passes the parameters and then processes the transaction to the database of the program. It then returns an HTML page (all hidden) back to me in the post back with approval, etc type information. I have everything worked out except for the last piece. When it comes back to me, I do not know how I can read the "Blank" form (with hidden fields), and then make it go away so the end user only sees that the credit card transaction went through. Bottom line - how can I parse a NON-ASP.NET HTML page and then control it to say redirect to an ASPX page. I have been searching, but I just can not seem to ask the right question

Thanks!

In short, use Regular Expressions.
