Hi folks ,

Im trying to learn some basic stuff with autoit, but im struggling with ClipPut and Filewrite.

#include <IE.au3> 
#include <string.au3> 
$oIE = _IECreate ( "www.google.com" ) 
sleep (2000) 
$text = _IEBodyReadText ( $oIE ) 
$result = _StringBetween ( $text , "Web", "Videos") 
ClipPut( $result )

So what i wanted to do was copy the "images" to the clipboard and put it a txt.

Txt would say , " i was on google and i clicked on $result today to show my freinds. , But apparently its not working

also still didnt managed to work with $filewrite at the specific location , not sure if the _stringbetween might be applicable.

Kind Regards

_StringBetween returns an array

_StringBetween returns an array

So do i have to include Array.au3 and add something ?

Use ClipPut( $result[0] )

Why not take a look at the help file and see the example it uses for _StringBetween() and how to retrieve your data?

Then look here on how to actually use/understand arrays.

Use ClipPut( $result[0] )

ClipPut($result[0])

ClipPut($result^ ERROR

>Exit code: 1 Time: 3.318

Seems it didnt work

[SmOke_N]

ClipPut($result[0])

ClipPut($result^ ERROR

>Exit code: 1 Time: 3.318

Seems it didnt work

Again, please read the help file for that function ( or any other function you're going to use ).

If it fails, it's because the search for what you're trying to do failed.

You'll need to understand how to handle the error.

The help file generally shows you how to handle exceptions and it has examples.

It works for me with this

#include <IE.au3>
#include <string.au3>
#include <array.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate ("www.google.com")
sleep (2000)
$text = _IEBodyReadText($oIE)
$result = _StringBetween($text , "Web", "Videos")
ClipPut($result[0])
ConsoleWrite($result[0] & @LF)

Edit : Make sure that your google page is in english. I've tried to put it in french or other language and I got the same error as you.

I dont know if i had extra spaces or anything .. but that one seems to work here. but there is not big difference

Thanks
