I know this thread is 8 years old, but it still shows up on searches, so I will mention that Macro Express Pro can utilize RegEx through external scripts (VBscript and Javascript both have RegEx support).

Passing text into the external scripts can be a little cumbersome, and usually requires creating a temporary file which is then opened from the script.

Passing it back to Macroexpress is easier thanks to console output.

For my application, I really need the HTML. And need to do without without opening a browser window.

I need to load a web-page into a text variable.

Pretty sure this is not a native function of Macro Express Pro, so I would rely on an external script.

I've tried this simple bit of code, but getting an error:

set xmlhttp = CreateObject("Msxml2.XMLHttp.6.0")
xmlhttp.open "get", "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome", false
xmlhttp.send
strOutput = xmlhttp.responseText

msgbox strOutput

There error (found in console output) is "C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\temp\msesc13.vbs(3, 1) msxml6.dll: Access is denied

What did I do wrong?
