I've never done much web data retrieval, but here's some code to get you started:
Code:
Sub AddGPHLink()
Dim Rng As Range, StrTxt As String, Tbl As Table, i As Long
Const StrLnk As String = "https://www.google.co.in/patents/"
Dim strLink As String
With ActiveDocument
With .Range
With .Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.Format = False
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindStop
.MatchWildcards = True
.Text = "[UECW][SPNO] [0-9]{4,} [A-Z0-9]{1,2}"
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Execute
End With
Do While .Find.Found
Set Rng = .Duplicate
With Rng
StrTxt = .Text
.Delete
End With
.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Rng, TextToDisplay:=StrTxt, _
Address:=StrLnk & Replace(StrTxt, " ", "") & "?cl=en"
.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
.Find.Execute
Loop
.Start = ActiveDocument.Range.Start
With .Find
.Text = "IN [0-9A-Z]{7,}"
.Execute
End With
Do While .Find.Found
Set Rng = .Duplicate
With Rng
StrTxt = .Text
.Delete
End With
.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Rng, TextToDisplay:=StrTxt, _
Address:=StrLnk & Replace(StrTxt, " ", "") & "?cl=en"
.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
.Find.Execute
Loop
End With
For Each Tbl In .Tables
With Tbl
For i = 1 To .Rows.Count
StrTxt = ""
With .Cell(i, 2).Range
If .Hyperlinks.Count > 0 Then
StrTxt = Get_URL_Data(.Hyperlinks(1).Address)
End If
End With
.Cell(i, 5).Range.Text = StrTxt
Next
End With
Next
End With
Set Rng = Nothing
End Sub
Function Get_URL_Data(StrUrl As String) As String
'References to Internet Explorer & Microsoft HTML required
Dim Browser As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Dim HTMLDoc As MSHTML.HTMLDocument
Dim StrTmp As String, StrTxt As String
Set Browser = New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
'Open the web page
Browser.navigate StrUrl
Do While Browser.Busy
DoEvents
Loop
Set HTMLDoc = Browser.Document
Do While Browser.Busy
DoEvents
Loop
'Get the data
On Error Resume Next
StrTmp = Split(HTMLDoc.Title, " - ")(1)
Get_URL_Data = StrTmp
'Close the browser
Browser.Quit
Set HTMLDoc = Nothing: Set Browser = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Function
