Gui Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Aye guys, i've tried like everything..(I think). I'm trying to get the view count of a video on youtube. This is the section of the source off the page. <div id="watch-views-div"> <span id="watch-views"><span id="watch-view-count">308</span> views</span> <-- VIEWS ARE THERE. <a class="yt-tooltip" href="#"><img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://s.ytimg.com/yt/img/icn_help_question-vfl32654.gif"><span class="yt-tip"> Wondering about your view count? For popular videos, the counts are updated every few hours; if you're still getting views, you should see them soon.</span></a> </div> This is what i've tried in AutoIt so far. There are 3 id's you see, and I didn't know which one was actually the '308', so I tested them all. All returned as 0. $oForm = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE,0) sleep(2000) $x = _IEGetObjById($oForm,"watch-views-div") $a = _IEGetObjById($oForm,"watch-views") $l = _IEGetObjById($oForm,"watch-view-count") msgbox(0,"",$x & $a & $l) $f = _IEFormElementGetValue($x) ; it equaled 0. $q = _IEFormElementGetValue($a) ; equaled 0.. $g = _IEFormElementGetValue($l) ; same for this guy. -.- msgbox(0,"",$f & $q & $g) So is it the wrong id? Or am I just using the wrong funtions in _IE? Help on this would be greatly appreciated . Sorry about all my other posts on issues, i'm a nub. Thanks. GUI.

GEOSoft Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 This is probably close but it's untested because the system I'm on right now doesn't have AutoIt installed. $l = _IEGetObjById($oForm,"watch-view-count") $iCount = IEPropertyGet($l, "innertext") MsgBox(0, "Result", $iCount) George Question about decompiling code?

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted September 10, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 10, 2014 HankHill, perhaps you noticed this thread is over 5 YEARS old? Please don't necro old posts; the language has grown a lot since 2009, what worked then may not work today. Better to start a new thread, explain in detail what you're trying to do, and provide what you have already tried on your own (e.g. post script). "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.
