Clicking a Link in IE using _IELinkgetcollection [Unresolved]

[Negative1]

Hi all,

Here is a snippet of my code in which i am using linkgetcollection to find all the links and then i want to search for the string "ad="

I'm very new to object programming and I know the problem is in my understanding of $oLink.href which I took from the example.

so may question really boils down to: "how do I get the link string of the link I am currently indexing in my for loop?"

$oIE= _IEAttach("", "instance",1)
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection ($oIE)
$iNumLinks = @extended

For $x=0 to $iNumLinks
    if stringinstr($oLink.href,"ad=") Then
        _IELinkClickByIndex($oIE,$x)
    EndIf
Next

Thanks all,

I was just prowling the forum hoping I'd find something on how to manipulate the object from _ielinkgetcollection. I was hoping it would behave like an array (figured those out yesterday, hopefully). But so far, no dice. If you figure this out or even get anything useful on how to manipulate the resulting object, please report back here. I'll keep looking and let you know if I see anything.

I think for my problem, I can just write each line to a file as in the following subsection of my code.

#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include <IE.au3>
$hfile=FileOpen(@UserProfileDir & "\" & @yday & " " & @hour & @MIN & " " & "diamonds.txt", 1)
$oIE = _IECreate ("chess.com")
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection ($oIE)
$iNumLinks = @extended
MsgBox(0, "Link Info", $iNumLinks & " links found")
For $oLink In $oLinks
    Filewrite($hfile, $oLink.href)
    FileWrite($hfile, "" & @CRLF)
Next
FileClose($hfile)

In your case, it seems you really just want to transform the object into an array-- I only wanted to get an array because I'd figured out how to enumerate an array into a textfile. Could you use: "_ArrayAdd" in the same iterative style to export the object into an array variable of your choosing? Then you could call any link as you'd expect with $aYourArray, if I understand correctly. I'm probably not capable of being helpful yet, but I suppose free bump for you at least. Cheers, and good luck
