Did you click on the “get title” button? I showed the full page so that you can see the information on it and what happens when you click on the Get title button. ---

You need to find the HTML tags in which the text is in the source structure of the document and get it. See how this is done in my example. Unfortunately now I can not make such a code for you. ---

Try replacing all tags with null by # Replace all text in (#1) text\_to\_replace (#2) with (#ev3 Thanks! 😄 ---
