I apologize for my poor coding skills, but only on occasion do I have a need to automate a repetitious task to save time. In a nutshell the following code is supposed to go to a website, save the site using Scrapbook (a plugin used by an older version of Firefox), rename the folder in Windows Explorer that Scrapbook assigns a random name for and then moves on to the next website, of which there are hundreds. Everything works, except after the address bar gets populated with the URL, it's like the ENTER key never gets pushed. The weird thing is, this worked yesterday before I left to go home and when I came in this morning it didn't work. The next thing I'll be trying to learn is to loop this with a the list of the websites. Thank you for your help! WinActivate( "[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass]" ) ;Apply focus to the open Mozilla firefox window Sleep(500) Send("^k") ;Apply focus to the address bar Sleep(500) Send("www.WEBSITE.com {ENTER}") ;Send the website to the address bar Sleep(10000) ;Wait for the website to fully open Send("!c") ;Opens the drop down menu for Scrapbook Sleep(2000) Send("{ENTER}") ;Selects the default drop down selection of save Sleep(20000) WinActivate( "[CLASS:CabinetWClass]" ) ;Applies focus to the open Windows Explorer window where the websites are saved Sleep(1000) Send("{SPACE}") ; Selects a folder in the folders list Sleep(200) Send("{HOME}") ;Moves to the top folder Sleep(200) Send("{F2}") ;Keyboard shortcut to rename the folder Sleep(200) Send("www.WEBSITE.com {ENTER}") ;Applies the new name to the folder

Hello all I have a question please I have a link to an .exe file for example this link https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/releases/2017.1/NVDA_2017.1.exe I want to check if the link is exists orno surely Without downloading the file is there any function or a way to do this? Thanks in advance

I've finally come up with a simple solution for dragging & dropping a URL. It's not perfect, but it does the job. Mostly just a tweak of some Help file examples. Thanks also to AutoBert, for his StringRegExp and example that set me on the right path. I have seen this requested for many times, so enjoy! It goes without saying, that any improvements are welcome.

_FileGetShortcutEx This UDF will return shortcut (.LNK) file information for more advanced shortcuts that AutoIt's built-in FileGetShortcut() chokes on. The following types of shortcuts can be retrieved using this function: MSI Advertised Shortcuts URL (website) Shortcuts that are embedded (rather than put in a .URL file) Special GUID Shell Item Shortcuts. This is only one level deep at the moment, so it will only read the base Folder GUID (For example: shortcuts to 'My Computer', 'Recycle Bin' return fine) UNC Shortcuts ("PCNAME"). This is also only one level deep currently, so "PCNAMEFolder" shortcuts will fail (as well as regular shortcuts, of course) Operation is simple: call '_FileGetShortcutEx("filename")' to get an array that is arranged the same as FileGetShortcut(). Included in the ZIP are two examples of shortcuts that AutoIt will fail on, but this function will work on. I don't have any MSI Advertised shortcut examples, but I believe Microsoft Office and ACDSee shortcuts both use these shortcuts types which return wonky results using AutoIt's function. Thanks go out to Prog@ndy for the original '_FileGetShortcutEx' function and MSI shortcut code (which I converted for Unicode). See my original post here for his code. *Shortcut Key retrieval* This was requested on the Help board, and I thought it was a good idea to include it here. If you need to grab a shortcut's associated Shortcut Key, you can use the below code, assuming you already know beforehand that the file is a shortcut file: $sShortcutFile = "C:\MyShortcut.lnk" $nShortcutKey = Number(StringToBinary(StringMid(FileRead($sShortcutFile, 68), 65, 4))) ConsoleWrite("Shortcut key = " & $nShortcutKey & @CRLF) The format of the key is described under IShellLink::GetHotkey, and I've included code that converts most key combos in >this post. *Special note on 'Normal' Internet shortcuts: While this UDF only looks at .LNK shortcuts (what you use FileGetShortcut() with), some confuse .URL Internet shortcuts with these types, so I decided I'd put a solution for those interested on how to get a URL Internet shortcut. It's actually so simple it can be done in one line, so here it is (note the .URL extension): $sURL=IniRead(@UserProfileDir&"\Favorites\Google.URL","InternetShortcut","URL","") Ascend4nt's AutoIT Code License agreement: no license - just be a good person and credit other people for their work, yeh?

Hey fellas, I'm looking for an easy way to get an URL from an active browser. Now, I know about chrome and IE includes but the script I'm writing will be used by users with different browsers, obviously. I can imagine have both IE and Chrome includes in the script, identifying what browser the user uses etc but I was wondering if there is any other easier way. Thanks Seminko

Hello, i was wondering how i would go about opening a random URL from a predefined list? i am trying to create a small game for the kids, where they have a question and they have to find out the answer (finish the story) from the pages that open...but i need all the pages to be at random, so they need to work out which part comes first, second, third...etc. the code i use to open the URL is and to close the browser: shellexecute("THE URL") If ProcessExists("firefox.exe") Then ProcessClose("firefox.exe") endif is it possible to creaet like a shellexecute("$random") and then add my url's as a ranodm variables? or would it be better to add each script with URL / porcessclose and randomly pick which "url" to open? all help much appreciated MrYonG

Internet Shortcut Sanitizer With the newest Firefox and IE browsers, there's a bit of an issue with Internet Shortcuts created, which have been traditionally saved in a .URL file on Windows (an INI-structured file). Firefox now adds Icon information to the file which points it at a location within %localappdata%MozillaProfiles. This to me is annoying and unnecessary. While it may reflect the favicon of a website, its got a few problems: When the cache is cleared or the bookmark is moved to another computer or put on a fresh install, that icon isn't there anymore. These shortcuts contain your logon name (part of %localappdata%), so be aware of this if you are going to share them! (or just use a generic logon) Here's the content of a typical Firefox .URL file (<LogonName> is your Windows logon): [InternetShortcut] URL=http://www.google.com/ IDList= HotKey=0 IconFile=C:\Users\<LogonName>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\a3n21a.default\shortcutCache\md34sdyu7s_g==.ico IconIndex=0 _ Update: if you have Firefox 21, you can follow and edit Firefox's about:config settings to fix the way URL shortcuts are created. Internet Explorer (IE 9+) now has its own new shortcut extension (.website), which seems to only work with the IE browser. These files are basically 'enhanced' internet shortcuts. The extra information included is cryptic, and appears to be of no use outside of IE. However, the INI-format is the same, and the [internetShortcut] section is the same, so it can simply be renamed to have a .URL extension. Here's the content of a typical Internet Explorer 9+ .website file: [{000214A0-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}] Prop4=31,Google Prop3=19,2 [{A7AF692E-098D-4C08-A225-D433CA835ED0}] Prop5=3,0 Prop9=19,0 [InternetShortcut] URL=http://www.google.com/ IDList= IconFile=http://www.google.com/favicon.ico IconIndex=1 [{9F4C2855-9F79-4B39-A8D0-E1D42DE1D5F3}] Prop12=19,2 Prop5=8,Microsoft.Website.9CB8E698.8730F9E8 _ (Note the embedded [internetShortcut] section) Sanitize your shortcuts! The fix for these problems? A little Internet Shortcut Sanitizer program. If you're like me and just want Internet Shortcuts to be just that - a simple file with a URL in it, then this program will give you what you need. It strips everything out but the 2 lines necessary to work as a .URL file: [InternetShortcut] URL=http://www.website.com _ The script will also create .URL's from .website files and remove all the IE related stuff. Currently it either takes 1 parameter or allows you to select 1 file to change. However, it can be adapted to work on multiple files with a little extra effort. However, I'd recommend something like grepWin to clear out folders (see 3rd post), and maybe a batch file renamer to deal with .website -> .URL conversion. Below is the script.

More than an hour I try to change the Sleep values but something still does not work: When I invoke the 1st time the hotkey, almost always it returns the correct url, but when I reuse the hotkey a few times it doesn't copy any more and the url is constructed with previous clipboard value. Does anyone know what is wrong in my script?

Hi all, I'm using an embedded IE object to fill in a form and submit it. The form uses the POST method and has a Javascript function which runs when the form is submitted and changes some values according to what is entered into the form and generates a nonce, etc. When the form is submitted a file download is triggered. How could I deal with this because at the minute the file download dialog is appearing? The only way I can think of is to send a keypress when the file download window becomes active but I have seen that this is not reliable. Thanks in advance

I know the link text on the web page How can I extract the url associated with that link text, please let me know OR If I use _IELinkClickByText function and load the page in Internet explorer, how can I fetch the url from the address bar of the IE Please help.

Can some expert with regular expression help me to obtain expected data from a string like that: What I try to get is the name, detected & result. Something like: CLEAN MX false clean site Any idea?

Task : If Java.exe opens and it's parent process is a browser, get the URL of the web page it has open (hopefully the URL that started java). I would love a way to do it remotely, but can live with having to run a monitor on the local machine. What I have now is a function that uses WMI to query win32_process and get the processes and parent process id, searches that for Java and puts that info into a report. I want to include the URL of the webpage that launched java. What I have so far is below, but it doesn't let me tie the Process ID to the window I get the URL from. It also will not get Firefox windows. The Shell method only gets Shell windows. I have nine windows open, but it only picks up two - internet explorer and file system explorer - missing both Firefox windows and all their tabs. So, the question is - how to get a browser object when I start with only a Process ID and get the URL from that object? On a remote computer? $oShell = ObjCreate("shell.application") ; Get the windows shell object $oShellWindows = $oshell.windows ; Get open windows If IsObj($oShellWindows) Then $string = "" For $Window in $oShellWindows ; count all windows $Wpid = ObjName($Window,3) $string = $string & $Window.LocationName & " ; " & $Window.FullName & " ; " & $Wpid & @CRLF If StringInStr($Window.FullName, "iexplore") Then MsgBox(0,"Internet Explorer", "You browsing the URL " & $Window.Document.Location.href) EndIf Next MsgBox(0,"Shell Windows", "You have the following " & $oShellWindows.Count & " windows open:" & @CRLF & $string); EndIf Fantasy code I would like to work: $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _ & $strPCName & "\root\cimv2") If IsObj($objWMIService) Then $colProcesses = $objWMIService.ExecQuery( _ "select * from win32_process") For $objProcess In $colProcesses If $objProcess.ProcessId = $javaparentPID Then $Name = $objProcess.LocationName $URL = $objProcess.Document.Location.href Endif Code that gets the process IDs : Func _ProcessInfo($strPCName) Dim $i = 0 Dim $User, $Domain, $objWMIService, $colProcesses, $procnum Dim $Aprocesses[1][9] Dim $pi, $ppi, $parent, $parentfound $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _ & $strPCName & "\root\cimv2") ; Gather process information into an array If IsObj($objWMIService) Then $colProcesses = $objWMIService.ExecQuery( _ "select * from win32_process") For $objProcess In $colProcesses $i = $i + 1 ReDim $Aprocesses[$i + 1][9] $Aprocesses[$i][1] = $objProcess.ProcessId $Aprocesses[$i][2] = $objProcess.Caption $Aprocesses[$i][3] = $objProcess.HandleCount $Aprocesses[$i][4] = $objProcess.ExecutablePath $Aprocesses[$i][5] = $objProcess.ParentProcessId $Aprocesses[$i][6] = $objProcess.CreationDate If $objProcess.GetOwner($User, $Domain) = 0 Then $Aprocesses[$i][7] = $Domain & _ "\" & $User Else $Aprocesses[$i][7] = "" EndIf Next $Aprocesses[0][0] = $i $procnum = $i ;_ArrayDisplay($Aprocesses) ; Process the information about the Processes - LOL! $parentfound = 0 For $pi = 1 To $procnum ; only looking for Java, so : If StringInStr($Aprocesses[$pi][2], "java") Then $parent = $Aprocesses[$pi][5] For $ppi = 1 To $procnum If $Aprocesses[$ppi][1] = $parent Then $parentfound = 1 ExitLoop EndIf Next If $parentfound = 1 Then ; It has a parent process still running! $line = $strPCName & "," & $Aprocesses[$pi][1] & "," & $Aprocesses[$pi][2] & "," & $Aprocesses[$pi][3] & "," & _ $Aprocesses[$pi][4] & "," & $Aprocesses[$pi][5] & "," & $Aprocesses[$pi][6] & "," & _ $Aprocesses[$ppi][6] & "," & $Aprocesses[$ppi][2] & "," & $Aprocesses[$ppi][4] & "," & _ $Aprocesses[$ppi][7] FileWriteLine($LogFile, $line) Else ; parent process left.

Is there a fast way of check to see if a URL is a download link before I use _IENavigate? Also, does anyone know how to disable all popup windows (like the are your sure you want to navigate away windows) without disabling scripting? Thanks

Hello, this is an example script to convert a relative path uri to absolute path uri. This is found in html and someone who wants to parse the URL will find this useful. [EDIT 1] Modified the code to handle certain boundary conditions. [EDIT 2] Modified the code to meet certain conditions. abrel.au3
