Window Cleaning (Scraping)

[klatuu]

Hi developers,

I'm a little stumpped as to where to go next. I'd like to be able to get the text results out of this listing (scraping), however, I'm thinking of using a collection and iterating through them, but something's not gelling in how I do this.

Here's a snippet of the source from this link:

And this is my code so far:

#include <IE.au3>
#include <Excel.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
Local $FileName = "C:\ZillowExtraction.xlsx"
If Not FileExists($FileName) Then
    MsgBox(0, "Excel File Test", "This file is not there:  " & $FileName)
    Exit
Else
   Local $oExcel = _ExcelBookOpen($FileName, 1, 1) ; Get an Excel Object from an existing filename
  
   If @error = 1 Then
   MsgBox(0, "Error!", "Unable to Create the Excel Object")
   Exit
   ElseIf @error = 2 Then
   MsgBox(0, "Error!", "File does not exist - Shame on you!")
   Exit
   EndIf
EndIf

Local $RowCount = 2
Local $max = 0
Local $zipcode = InputBox("Where to look?", "What zip code would you like to search? ")
;for $RowCount = 2 to $max + 1
;   Local $aArray2 = _ExcelReadArray($oExcel, $RowCount, 1, 4) ;Direction is Horizontal

Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://www.zillow.com/homes/" & $zipcode & "/") ; check out the parameters to set IE and Excel invisible

I need to get the following but I'm not sure how I access them:

PropertyAddress.......

  Availability: now

save yourself some time and do it direct from excel.

look at "Data - Get External Data - From Web"
