Help with a youtube Script

[phatzilla]

Hey guys, i'm trying to code a youtube script which pulls uploaded video urls from a user-defined channel.

Lets take this channel for example : http://www.youtube.com/user/ligafutbol32#g/u

What i'd like to do is be able to grab a defined number of youtube URLS from that uploaded list on his channel and save them to a text file.

I can't seem to get this one working, What i have so far

#include <IE.au3>
#include <file.au3>
FileDelete("links.txt")
_FileCreate("links.txt")

$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.youtube.com/user/ligafutbol32#g/u")

$nOffset = 1
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
For $oLink In $oLinks
    Sleep(10)

    $findlink = StringInStr($oLink.href, "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=")
    $done = StringReplace($oLink.href, "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=", "")
    $done1 = StringLeft($done, 11)
    If $findlink = 0 Then
        Sleep(10)
    Else

        $file = FileOpen("links.txt", 1)
        FileWrite($file, $done1 & @CRLF)
        FileClose($file)
    EndIf
Next



FileDelete("vids.txt")
_FileCreate("vids.txt")

$file1 = FileOpen("links.txt", 0)

; Check if file opened for reading OK
If $file1 = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf

; Read in lines of text until the EOF is reached
Global $total = ""

While 1
    $line = FileReadLine($file1)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    If Not StringInStr($total, $line, 0) >= 1 Then
        $total = $total & $line & @CRLF
    EndIf
WEnd

;MsgBox(1,"Total",$total)

FileClose($file1)

$file2 = FileOpen("vids.txt", 1)

FileWrite($file2, $total & @CRLF)

for $j = 8 to 50 step 1

    _FileLineDelete("C:\vids.txt", $j)
    Next
FileClose($file2)


Func _FileLineDelete($FilePath, $LineNum)
    If Not _IsFileOpen($FilePath) Then
       SetError(1)
      Return 0
    EndIf
    Local $Arr
    _FileReadToArray($FilePath, $Arr)
    Local $FO = FileOpen($FilePath, 2)
    If $FO = -1 Then
        SetError(1)
        Return 0
    EndIf
    For $x = 1 To UBound($Arr) - 1
        If $x = $LineNum Then ContinueLoop
        FileWriteLine($FO, $Arr[$x])
    Next
    FileClose($FO)
    Return 1
EndFunc   ;==>_FileLineDelete

Func _IsFileOpen($FilePath)
    Local $D = FileOpen($FilePath, 0)
    FileClose($D)
    If $D = -1 Then
        Return 0
    EndIf
    Return 1
EndFunc   ;==>_IsFileOpen

This script works horribly and is very unreliable, i am totally stuck and would like some help

I don't understand the second part of your script

but try like this

expandcollapse popup

#include <IE.au3>
#include <file.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

$sFile = @ScriptDir & "\links.txt"
FileDelete($sFile)
Dim $_VideosIdArray[1]
$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.youtube.com/user/ligafutbol32#g/u")
$nOffset = 1
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)

For $oLink In $oLinks
    Sleep(10)
    $findlink = StringInStr($oLink.href, "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=")
    $done = StringReplace($oLink.href, "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=", "")
    $done1 = StringLeft($done, 11)
    If Stringinstr ( $done1, ':' ) = 0 And Not _AlreadyInArray ( $_VideosIdArray, $done1 ) Then _ArrayAdd ( $_VideosIdArray, $done1 )
Next

_FileWriteFromArray ( $sFile, $_VideosIdArray )
_ArrayDisplay ( $_VideosIdArray ) ; you get all video Id
ShellExecuteWait ( "links.txt" )

FileDelete("vids.txt")
_FileCreate("vids.txt")
$file1 = FileOpen("links.txt", 0)
If $file1 = -1 Then Exit MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
Global $total = ""

While 1
    $line = FileReadLine($file1)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    If Not StringInStr($total, $line, 0) >= 1 Then
        $total = $total & $line & @CRLF
    EndIf
WEnd

MsgBox(1,"Total",$total)
FileClose($file1)
$file2 = FileOpen("vids.txt", 1)
FileWrite($file2, $total & @CRLF)
for $j = 8 to 50 step 1
    _FileLineDelete("C:\vids.txt", $j)
Next
FileClose($file2)
Exit

Func _FileLineDelete($FilePath, $LineNum)
    If Not _IsFileOpen($FilePath) Then
       SetError(1)
      Return 0
    EndIf
    Local $Arr
    _FileReadToArray($FilePath, $Arr)

        SetError(1)
        Return 0
    EndIf
    For $x = 1 To UBound($Arr) - 1
        If $x = $LineNum Then ContinueLoop
        FileWriteLine($FO, $Arr[$x])
    Next
    FileClose($FO)
    Return 1
EndFunc ;==> _FileLineDelete ( )

Func _IsFileOpen($FilePath)
    Local $D = FileOpen($FilePath, 0)
    FileClose($D)
    If $D = -1 Then
        Return 0
    EndIf
    Return 1
EndFunc ;==> _IsFileOpen ( )

Func _AlreadyInArray ( $_SearchArray, $_Item )
    $_Index = _ArraySearch ( $_SearchArray, $_Item ) 
    If @error Then   
        Return False
    Else  
        If  $_Index <> 0 Then
            Return True
        Else 
            Return False
        EndIf   
    EndIf
EndFunc ;==> _AlreadyInArray ( )
