Can write table content from a web page to excel using IE9 but not IE7


Recommended Posts

Hi!

I have the following code to retrieve table content of a web page and write it to Excel 2007.It works fine with IE9, but nothing is written to he spreadsheet when I try to use IE7.

Can someone give a solution (except giving up IE7)?

Thanx.

If StringFormat($line)"" Then

$adress="http://www.xxx.yyy/vvvvvv/" & StringFormat($line)

Local $oIE=_IECreate("http://www.xxx.yyy")

Sleep(2000)

_IENavigate($oIE,$adress,1)

_IELoadWait($oIE)

Sleep(10000)

$body = _IEBodyReadHTML($oIE)

Local $sHTML = _IEBodyReadHTML($oIE)

If StringInStr($body,'',2) 0 Then

FileWriteLine("Found.txt",$line)

$j=$j+3

$vgt=VarGetType('')

$oTable = _IETableGetCollection($oIE)

Local $iNumTables = @extended

$oTable = _IETableGetCollection ($oIE, $iNumTables-1)

$aTableData = _IETableWriteToArray ($oTable)

If $j>2 Then

_ArrayDelete($aTableData,0)

EndIf

_ExcelWriteSheetFromArray($oExcel, $aTableData, $j, 1, 0, 0)

Sleep(1000)

_IEQuit($oIE)

If @error Then ExitLoop

EndIf

_IEQuit($oIE)

EndIf

_ExcelBookSaveAs($oExcel, 'DestFile.xls',0,1)

_ExcelBookClose($oExcel, 0, 0)

If you run your script from SciTE do you get any error messages in the output pane?

Then please add line

_ArrayDisplay($aTableData)

after the following line to check if the table was populated by IE.

$aTableData = _IETableWriteToArray ($oTable)

Then line

$aTableData = _IETableWriteToArray($oTable)

doesn't create the table.

What's the value of @error after the above line?

I was not asking for an error message but for the value of @error. That's a big difference!

There is always @error because it is a macro created by AutoIt. If $aTableData is not an array then there must be an error somewhere in your script.

You are sure the posted code is the code you run?

This statement really looks suspicious:

If StringFormat($line)"" Then

You're suspicious, but the code executes with on a computer with IE9, but not with IE7. There is only one detail I didn't mention : IE7 displays, at the left lower corner,"Done, but with errors on page". Maybe one of these errors is responsible for what you consider looking suspicious. But I don't know which are IE7's errors.

The code you posted in post#1 can't be executed because you get a syntax error:

$line has been declared somewhere else in the program (which you should have guessed, I guess), so that's you get the error: Local $line = FileReadLine($file,Number($i)) I don't understand you: are you trying to help, or to find errors to please yourself?

Please again have a look at the error messages above! There are two double quotes (in bold and red below) in your original post and the error message I posted that give you a syntax error. This means that your code is unable to run!

If StringFormat($line)""

hg2052,

which you should have guessed, I guess

If you want help the best way is to post code that we can run - why should we be expected to guess at what variables are declared or not? :huh:

I don't understand you: are you trying to help, or to find errors to please yourself?

In my opinion, water was being remarkably patient.  i use the past tense advisedly - because if you were to speak to me like that that would be the end of any help you received.  Might I suggest losing the attitude? ;)

Water, Here you're right;but it's only a copying error, because in the program it is If StringFormat($line)<>"" Then M23, you're free in your suggestions.But I guess everybody would better enjoy freedom in Autoit than... Good night!

StringFormat doesn't work like that, it needs at least one variable after the format string, your code line has neither. There's no format string, and there's no variable. That command could be written like "If $line <> "" then" and achieve the same result, the StringFormat function isn't doing anything.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Isn't $line that variable? 

Yes, you're right it's a variable. But as it seems you missed the important point I'll repeat it, you're using StringFormat in a pointless way. You don't need it in your script, because it doesn't affect the outcome of using it or not using it.  So why bother using a function that you're using wrong and doesn't need to be there?

Thank you, Ill try this AGAIN, but I remember I started do without StringFormat an d it didn't work.

I think also about using thr table's name "Block 5" or4 or 6 or...etc instead of a table identifier.

However, I exprct most from using what had been suggested in the links I mentioned.
