Open local html page

[dannyict]

I'am trying to open a local htmlpage but don't know how

I tried

ShellExecute("page.html")

and

Run("page.html")

and

Fileopen("page.html")

nothing seem to open the page, should work in Xp and Win7.

Any suggestions? Thanks

The script should open the web page and allow your browser to read?

ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\page.html") ; Your page

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/ShellExecute.htm

It should "capture" the text into a variable of the HTML page?

$File = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "\page.html", 0)

If $File = -1 Then
    Exit
EndIf

While 1
    $FileRead = FileRead($File, 1)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    MsgBox(0, "HTML page", $FileRead)
Wend

FileClose($File)

You want to take a specific part of the HTML page? As with all content in Javascript, for example?

(?i)(?s).*<script type='text/javascript'>(.*)</script>

It needs a native code?

Does this help you?

$oIE = _IECreate ("c:\Temp\page.html")

You made a really easy question. I think it's normal that you received almost instant response.

You're welcome

Better ShellExecute()

Your script opens the HTML file with Internet Exploded Explorer. The mine with the default browser.

@Goodware:

I noticed your reply and the part that describes opening the HTML-Page to a variable. This code works if you have the html-file somewhere on your harddisk, if i get it right...

@All:

Is it also possible to read a HTML-page _directly_ from the web to a variable - without opening any browser via script or something? Like autoit captures the html stream and "captures" it to a variable or something?

My goal is to create a little script, that reads a cerain webpage like every 10 minutes and reads a certain number from the page, to see if the page was changed.

Would that be possible somehow, or do i need to use a browser in the script to open, read and refresh the page somehow? I`m wondering if the mentioned IE.au3 (class?) thing has that kind of functionality by any chance...?

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks a lot!
