_IE question

[d0n]

When i use _IE to go to a website to get the source of the site, that site starts to download something automatically, and stops my script from getting the source. Is there a function in _IE to bypass this?

[GEOSoft]

It could be several things. Link to the page?

[d0n]

My link

It is something like this, when you load the page, it will try to download, and IE will pop up saying its blocking the download for safety reasons and pauses the script

[GEOSoft]

The best way around that is probably to use InetGet(). Read the page to get the file location and then InetGet() to download it. If you are using the Beta, you can use InetRead() with BinaryToStr() to get the page source

[d0n]

but because the script would pause at trying to finish loading the page, it will get stuck before i can use inetget()

You have not done any homework on INetGet()

See help first.

but the script is already stuck on _IENavigate, and wont start Inetget(), not sure what you mean?

IE.au3 is not even needed. You do not need to "navigate" at all.. SEE HELP

BTW... Be sure to check the examples at the bottom of the help pages

i need to navigate to the site to get the source to get the link for Inetget() to work since the link changes all the time

also because that link is only available after you click it, i am not sure how Inetget() would do the job?

InetGet doesn't need a link to be visible. As long as the link exists, it can download something.

[GEOSoft]

If you are using the beta version then yoou can get the source with InetRead(). If not then you can get the source with _InetGetSource(). #Include<inet.au3>

InetGet doesn't need a link to be visible. As long as the link exists, it can download something.

I know that, but i have to click the download link on the first page in order to see the actual download link for Inetget()

Still the problem i am having is that the site will try to automatically download thus stopping my script, i was wondering if there is a way to bypass the automatic download with some _IE functions

[GEOSoft]

There is no way to use the _IE* functions to disable IEs security.

i think i get what you mean, using Inetget() to get the source, thanks for helping

EDIT:now i have another question, what is the best way to deal with these temp files?

Glad you got it... 8)

Inetget( to temp file )...

$read = Read file....

FileDelete( temp file)

then just use the read. The temp file can be deleted right away

[GEOSoft]

You can just use InetGet to download the file itself.

$sStr = "ftp://dl2.foss-id.web.id/iso/ubuntu/releases/jaunty/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso"
$sFile = StringRegExpReplace($sStr, ".+/(.+)$", "$1")
InetGet($sStr, @DeskTopDir & "\" & $sFile, 9)
