WinGetText

[gloop]

I want to find a text in Mozilla an i use WinGetText. The Code looks so:

$text = 0

If $text = WinGetText("Google", "Web ") THEN

MsgBox(0, "Text read was:", $text)

EndIf

I don't understand why it's not function

How can help me?

$text is not defined so you cannot use an IF statement. just use:

$text = WinGetText("www.google.de");gets the text and writes it to the variable
MsgBox(0, "Text read was:", $text);prints the variable $text

I beleive "WinGetText" in mozilla will always return "" not the page contents.

Hello,

I'm not using Mozilla, but have you verify that "www.google.de" is the exact title of the window.

For example, with SlimBrowser, it display "Google - SlimBrowser", but the real title of the window is "SlimBrowser - [Google]" (use Autoit Window info to check it)

But really, the return value is not the same with different browsers (I have tested your example with IE and SlimBrowser)

[gloop]

Ive declared $text

but not in the sample ... its not function with IE and with mozilla

Edit:

Google.de was a sample. I dont look with the correct title ...

Strange, can you try with this code (it returns a value for me) :

WinWaitActive("Google - Microsoft Internet Explorer")
$text = WinGetText("Google - Microsoft Internet Explorer", "")

MsgBox(0, "Text read was:", $text)

[gloop]

Now ive this code:

$text = 0

Run("C:\Programme\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

If WinWaitActive("Google - Microsoft Internet Explorer") THEN

    $text = WinGetText("Google - Microsoft Internet Explorer", "Web")

        MsgBox(0, "Text read was:", $text)

Endif

and it comes the messagebox and $text is 1 ...why not the text?

When i gave a invalid text its the same result $text = 1

Replace "Web" with "" and try again.

[gloop]

But i will look if a word exist in the Browser.

In the example i will search for "Web"

This should definitely work. Post your current script.

Checked it on my machine, and yea there's no text to be returned w/ Mozilla and WinGetText

Do you have:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2) ? Made finding windows much easier for me

FYI: WinGetText() returns 1 if it doesnt find the window

Are you laboring under the impression that WinGetText will return with the entire contents of the webpage? I think that it will only return what can be seen via the AU3Info tools as

>>>>>>>>>>> Visible Window Text <<<<<<<<<<<

or

>>>>>>>>>>> Hidden Window Text <<<<<<<<<<<

if the correct option is set.

Maybe I'm wrong about the function WinGetText.....

[gloop]

Now how can i find a text in a Browser???

Find text in a Browser or find text on a webpage ?

A browser is only a program to view webpages.

[gloop]

Find text in a Browser or find text on a webpage ?

A browser is only a program to view webpages.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Find a text on a homepage

WinGetText will not work.

You have two options that I can think of.

1. Download page with InetGet then open the file and search for your text.

2. I beleive the is a com related function that can do this but I can' think of it.

[gloop]

what is that for a crap function (WinGetText) ...

i cant save all the time the website to search for a word :-/

it's not gave a function for that?

[Ejoc]

Blame the way Windows/Web Browser works, not AutoIt.

What do you want a function for every browser since they all differ ?

Get real, you have all the functions you need now.

Use InetGet to save, then read the file.
