Picking Up Text From FireFox?


Recommended Posts

Is there a way in which AutoIt can detect specific text on a website? I have already tried a few ways, which did not work.

Any help is helpful.

Lots of pages intercept 404 errors and give custom errors, but for the traditional resonse this will work...

Dale

Const $URL = "http://www.w3c.com/there-is-no-page-here.htm"
$ObjIE=ObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application")

With $ObjIE
  .Visible = True
  .Navigate($URL)
  Do
    Sleep(50)
  Until .ReadyState = 4
EndWith

ConsoleWrite($ObjIE.document.body.innerhtml)

If StringInStr( $ObjIE.document.body.innerhtml, "HTTP 404 - File not found") Then
    MsgBox( 0, "404 Error", "HTTP 404 - File not found")
Else
    MsgBox( 0, "OK", "Not a 404 Error")
EndIf

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

Can anyone here please help me out with this?

Firefox doesnt support COM objects to my knowledge at this time. I am trying to get into the development of Firefox and either suggest they add it, and or some other type of support.

I am guessing they dont use COM because Firefox isnt a windows based browser. It is usable across multiple operating systems.

You can make dirty functions using MouseClick() and such, but it really wont be a good way to do it.
