[Solved] InetRead

[Realm]

I have been playing around with InetGet, this example code i found in the help files here:

Local $sData = InetRead("http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/update.dat")
Local $nBytesRead = @extended
MsgBox(4096, "", "Bytes read: " & $nBytesRead & @CRLF & @CRLF & BinaryToString($sData))

I have tried a handful of different techniques, but to no avail, What I need is to find the Value of a particular key. The ini file that this script directs you to looks like this:

[AutoIt]

version=3.3.6.1

index=http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.php

setup=http://www.autoitscript.com/cgi-bin/getfile.pl?autoit3/autoit-v3.3.6.1-setup.exe

filesize=8406664

filetime=20100416085023

[AutoItBeta]

version=3.3.5.6

index=http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit/

setup=http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit/autoit-v3.3.5.6-beta-setup.exe

filesize=8136680

filetime=20100228170411

If needed to get the value '3.3.6.1' from key 'version' from section 'AutoIT'

How would I do this?

Edit:

...Or is this possible? if not, is there a way to download and save the file on my pc, than I could use IniRead to get my info?

Also in the help file, InetGet.

_InetGetSource()

Local $sFilename = @TempDir & "\autoit_version.dat"
Local $nBytesRead = InetGet("http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/update.dat", $sFilename, 1)
Local $sVersion = IniRead($sFilename, "AutoIt", "version", -1)
FileDelete($sFilename)
ConsoleWrite("Bytes read: " & $nBytesRead & @CRLF & $sVersion & @CRLF)

[Realm]

Local $sFilename = @TempDir & "\autoit_version.dat"
Local $nBytesRead = InetGet("http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/update.dat", $sFilename, 1)
Local $sVersion = IniRead($sFilename, "AutoIt", "version", -1)
FileDelete($sFilename)
ConsoleWrite("Bytes read: " & $nBytesRead & @CRLF & $sVersion & @CRLF)

That is perfect, Thanks!

If you don't want to save the file this code should works but I think saving the file and use IniRead is a better solution:

$sData = BinaryToString(InetRead("http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/update.dat"))
$aData=StringSplit($sData,chr(10))
$aData=StringSplit(StringStripCR($aData[2]),"=")
MsgBox(0,"","Autoit version is: " & $aData[2])
