I'm trying to parse through some HTML code that I'd like to paste into my VBA function. Essentially, i want to dim a string and then let the string = [INSERT HTML HERE]. Except if i tried to do that VBA would pick up on quotation marks and other symbols as VBA code and then give me a compile error of some sort.
I would parse the html first and either add quotation marks wherever i find a quotation mark or exit out all the symbols, but that would require pasting the html into a compiler that will have the same problem as before. I really can't figure this out!
What can be done about this? Is there a way for me to modify my regex pattern to automatically exit out the symbols? I'm really at a loss. I had one idea, but i can't figure out how to do this either. If i could say string=[FILE CONTAINING HTML] then that would work as well. any suggestions please.

Just open the HTML file and read it into a string variable. Here's an example.
