Umm.. firstly, do you see the page source in the console when you do this?

$src=_INetGetSource("http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/advanced.php")
ConsoleWrite($src)

Edit: bad code post

So Im still lost can someone help

And im not sure but smartee your code didnt work for me either

[smartee]

hi Medic873,

Sorry, the last line above should have been

ConsoleWrite(BinaryToString($src))

also don't forget #include <Inet.au3>. Do you see the page source now?

Also, fakenamegenerator.com provides an api, why not just use that?

You can also order a bulk set of identities.

Hope this helps,

okay so this is what ive put and im still not seeing the page code.

#include <IE.au3>
#Include <ScreenCapture.au3>
#include <Excel.au3>
#include "array.au3"
#Include <File.au3>
#include <string.au3>
#include <INet.au3>
 
$src=_INetGetSource("http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/advanced.php")
ConsoleWrite(BinaryToString($src)

im getting this error "Line 10" error: Parsing function call"

1) www.fakenamegenerator.com -> "This webpage is not available"

2) ConsoleWrite(BinaryToString($src) -> missing closing ')' tag.

You are missing a closing parentheses on the consolewrite command. Also, I have not been able to pull the source from that page with _Inetgetsource, although I can do it by right clicking on it and using Show Source from a browser.

To all,

You can't grab that page's source like that because the server admin does not want you to (User-Agent check most likely). There is an API available that is offered as a paid service with 50 units free per month.

Of course you can simply set the user agent string to that of Firefox etc, but stealing the site's resources in that manner is both immoral and possibly illegal.

That is why I last left this thread with corrected syntax vs righted logic, and a link to the API .

Aha. In that case the topic can be considered more or less closed in relation to www.fakenamegenerator.com.
