Extract lines from text files and submit on respectives URLs

[mario52]

Hello,

I'm facing a problem and after searching few hours I've gone crazy, I think I almost found the logical of what I want to achieve but I miss a bit of experience, I hope you could help me with this problem.

I have 4 text files containing various products (foods, battery, drinks and smokes) that I would like to submit to my local server forms.

I want the foods to be submited into my foods forms, my drinks into my drinks forms etc.

So here is my non working code, to debug I have put a msgbox to see what's the value of content and surpsingly It pop up 5 similar lines everytime and nothing is submited ...:

expandcollapse popup

#include <file.au3>
#Include <INET.au3>
#include <IE.au3>
;~ I have 4 text files filled with differents products : food, drinks, smokes and battery that I would like each to be submitted in their respective forms.

global $oIE = _IECreate("http://127.0.0.1")
DIM $catPath = "C:\"
DIM $nbr = 5 ; numbers of products to submit to my forms everytime cause I am limited to avoid issues

DIM $products[4][2]
$products[0][0] = "foods"
$products[0][1] = "http://127.0.0.1/myforms/food"
$products[1][0] = "drinks"
$products[1][1] = "http://127.0.0.1/myforms/drinks"
$products[2][0] = "smokes"
$products[2][1] = "http://127.0.0.1/myforms/smokes"
$products[3][0] = "battery"
$products[3][1] = "http://127.0.0.1/myforms/battery"


; Function to empty each category file and return true or false if the text file is empty or not
func _empty()
$enOfFi = false
For $i=0 To UBound($products)-1
  $sourceFile = FileOpen($catPath & '\cat_' & $products[$i][0] & '.txt', 0)
Next
$tempLine = FileReadLine($sourceFile)
if @error = -1 Then $enOfFi = true
FileClose($sourceFile)
return $enOfFi
EndFunc


; extract 5 lines ($nbr) of each products and backup those submited to a text file "Done"
func extractcat($nbr)
dim $catArray[$nbr]
For $i=0 To UBound($products)-1
  $backupFile = FileOpen($catPath & '\cat_' & $products[$i][0] & '_Done.txt', 1)
Next
$enOfFi = False
for $i=0 to $nbr-1
  if _empty() Then ExitLoop
  For $j=0 To UBound($products)-1
   $sourceFile = FileOpen($catPath & '\cat_' & $products[$j][0] & '.txt', 0)
   $tempLine = FileReadLine($sourceFile)
   $catArray[$i] = $tempLine
  Next
  FileClose($sourceFile)
  FileWriteLine($backupFile, $tempLine)
  _FileWriteToLine($sourceFile, 1, "", 1)
next
fileClose($backupFile)
reDim $catArray[$i]
return $catArray
endFunc


; Navigate through each category forms to submit 5 products in the right category form
While true
if _empty() Then exitLoop
For $i=0 To UBound($products)-1
  _IENavigate($oIE, $products[$i][1])
  _IELoadWait($oIE)
  ExitLoop
Next
  $content = ""
  $cat = extractcat($nbr)
for $j=0 to UBound($cat)-1
  $content = $content & $cat[$j] & @CRLF
next
MsgBox(0,"",$content) ; Debug to see what's worng
#cs
$oElement = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "cat")
  _IEFormElementSetValue($oElement, $content)
  $oForm = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0)
_IEFormSubmit($oForm)
_IELoadWait($oIE)
#ce
wend

I finaly make some progress but still have an error I have rebuild a bit the code to be more simple. But when I run it runs well on the first category and then It pulls an error :

(43) : ==> Array variable subscript badly formatted.:
ReDim $catArray[$j]
ReDim $catArray[^ ERROR

Here's my script, a little help would be welcome thanks.
