Counter from web

[minaset]

Hi. I have counter in my website. Every time someone visits number will get higher.

I would like to get that count to my GUI too. Every time i open my GUI then count should be updated from website, if count number is higher than before

HTML code of it in web is :

<a class="skill-popup-trigger" href="counter_details.php" rel="counting" id="counting_id">114</a>

My guess is that i have to use this line of code:

Local $counter = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "counting_id")

But how can i make for example msgbox?

MsgBox(0, "Hello", $counter)      ; This line of code doesn\t work

Thanks in advance.

Hi, minaset, can you please include the URL? It is much easier to assist if we can see the page itself.

Well , i actually don't want to write my web address here. I could give bigger html code if it helps.

I hope you can still help ..

This might work for you.

#include 
#include 
Local $Source = _INetGetSource("http://websiteURL")
Local $Var = _StringBetween($Source, '[url="counter_details.php"]', '[/url]')
MsgBox(0, '', $Var[0])

edit: INet.au3 & String.au3 are the included files..

another edit: forget this example, unless you understand the correct usage of the _StringBetween function. It's in the helpfile if you need more info.

I cant use this code ? Well i tested it and i got error : Subscript used with non-Array variable.

Maybe this doesn't work because i have 2 links in my website with counter_details.php ?

[somdcomputerguy]

No, it doesn't work because the editor screwed up the formatting of the example code. I'll PM you a better copy if you want.

It would be great

$counter is an object variable - you cannot use it's value directly.

Try _IEPropertyGet($counter, "innertext")

somdcomputerguy's code worked great.

But now i wonder , if it possible if i click a button . Lets say "button" and then then msgbox will appear and tell me the count . with that code before . But i wont close the program and i just close msgbox. And i would like to get another msg if count will be higher than like 500.

I would like to use that program as backround program .

i click "button" then it shows count .

If count will get 500 then appears msgbox which tells that count has reached 500.

and the next would be like 1000. and so on.

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
     Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
     Exit
                 Case $button
     Local $Source = _INetGetSource("http://URL")
     Local $Var = _StringBetween($Source, '<a class="skill-popup-trigger" href="counter_details.php" rel="counting" id="counting_id">', '</a>')
     MsgBox(0, '', $Var[0])
    
     ; Waiting till count has reached 500.....[/color][/b]

[color=#282828] ; If $Var[0] = 500 then
     ; MsgBox(0, '',The count has reached $Var[0]) ; count has reached 500
; ElseIf $Var[0] = 1000 then
     ; MsgBox(0, '',The count has reached $Var[0]) ; count has reached 1000
; and so on ..
EndSwitch
Wend

Is is possible with that code ?
