To manipulate HTML elements/documents easily, you need to install HTML Agility Pack. You can get it from NuGet at: https://www.nuget.org/packages/HtmlAgilityPack

After you have it, you can do a lot of magic with HTML documents/tags.

Dim voHAP As New HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument
voHAP.LoadHtml("<div><span>Version : </span> "" 1.3""</div>")
Dim voDiv As HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlNode = voHAP.DocumentNode.Elements("div")(0)

voDiv.RemoveChild(voDiv.Element("span"))
Dim vsText As String = Replace(voDiv.InnerText, """", "").Trim

The vsText variable will contain your value of 1.3. The final Replace() function is to remove the unwanted " characters in the string.
