Problem with string

[horne]

No, see what i post i need only the content in <span class="title"> !CONTENT I NEED! </span> nothing more.

horne,

Then amend the line to read:

$aExtract = StringRegExp($sHTML, '(?U)<span class="title">(.*)</span>', 3)

No, see what i post

And with that attitude that is the end of my assistance.

It still output the whole HTML code, not the content i want between the title span. When i find way out i will post.

I`ve got it, it must be used _StringBetween, the problem now is that its return me nothing, unless it used with _ArrayDisplay hmmmm.....

I will have to work on it.

some testing code

#include <IE.au3>
#include <String.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
Local $vboxcode = InputBox("Vbox7 downloader", "Enter vbox7 code.", "", " ")
Local $oIE = _IECreate ($vboxcode, 0, 0, 1, 0)
Local $sHTML = _IEBodyReadHTML($oIE)
;###Local $sExtract2 = StringRegExpReplace($sHTML, '(?U)<span class="title">(.*)</span>', "$1")
Local $sExtract3 = _StringBetween($sHTML,'<span class="title">','</span>')
Local $extractarray =  _ArrayDisplay($sExtract3, 'Default Search')
_IEQuit($oIE)
;###MsgBox(0, "Test", $sExtract2, 1)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $sExtract2 = ' & $sExtract3 & @crlf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @crlf) ;### Debug Console
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $extractarray = ' & $extractarray & @crlf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @crlf) ;### Debug Console

Stringregex works fine. I posted a tool so you rapidly test expressions to see how it works. You gave no indication of trying it. It really is not too hard as long as it is the right tool for the job, in this case it is. Anything can be hard when you decide not to understand it.

The help file is your friend. The way you are going about things, soon may be your only friend.

Lol, strange i can`t see how i offended you guys, seems i have in some kind of a way, i appreciate the help and the support you give

DicatoroftheUSA i am already using the tool

and i am using a lot the help ! Actually this is the way i am learning this language ...

The the point i am trying to reach is that Stringregex and Stringregexpreplace are for cutting something from the array or at least that is what i am understanding and seeing from the tests. But i need ONLY the code between the <span class="title"> which in our case is the name of the video from the webpage ...

so i am trying to get like $var = "Name of the video"

When i use _StringBetween it gives me exatly what i need, but i dont know how to output it in variable.

Apologise again if somehow i ofended someone i am total rookie here

Here it is the fully working code:

#include <IE.au3>
#include <String.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
Local $vboxcode = InputBox("Vbox7 downloader", "Enter vbox7 code.", "", " ")
Local $oIE = _IECreate ($vboxcode, 0, 0, 1, 0)
Local $sHTML = _IEBodyReadHTML($oIE)
Local $sExtract3 = _StringBetween($sHTML,'<span class="title">','</span>')
Local $extractarray2 =  _ArrayToString($sExtract3)
_IEQuit($oIE)
MsgBox(4096, "Videoname", $extractarray2, 10)

horne,

Apology accepted.

I have looked at the HTML returned and this more specific pattern works for me on the only <span class="title"> I can find in there:

$aRet = StringRegExp($sHTML, '<div class="titleBar_Title"><span class="title">(.*)</span></div>', 3)

If IsArray($aRet) Then
    ConsoleWrite($aRet[0] & @CRLF)
Else
    ConsoleWrite("Nowt" & @CRLF)
EndIf

Does that give you the string you are looking for?

[horne]

Yes, that way its working
