Wanabeelee 0 Posted June 3, 2013 I'm very basic in my knowlege of programing. Batch file is about as good as it gets, but willing to learn more. What I am needing may be very simple for people who understand programing. I need a button that is always ontop that reads the active IE windows and grabs the domain name only. And appends it to a text file. Example: If I was at www.google.com, it would write google.com to line one in the text if I clicked it while on another page http://ebm.e.redbox.com it would take the redbox.com and write it to line two of the text file. Could someone show me how this would be done? Thanks for your time and help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danp2 893 Posted June 3, 2013 You have to set the value of $oIE before you can use it with any of the _IE functions. Suggest that you try reviewing and running some of the help file examples. [UDF] WebDriver Latest version Wiki FAQs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wanabeelee 0 Posted June 3, 2013 Try this. #include <ie.au3> $oIE = _IECreate("www.google.com") $sURL = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "locationurl") $sDomain = StringRight($sURL, StringInStr($sURL, ".", 0, -2) - 1) write($sDomain) Func write($thingstowrite) $sFilePath = @HomeDrive & "\test.txt" $file = FileOpen($sFilePath, 1) FileWrite($file, $thingstowrite & @CRLF) FileClose($file) EndFunc ;==>write A close thing. It opens google. I guess I'm not understanding the whole function thing. Also in the url it is logging it cuts off the G in google.com I need it to grab what ever the current opened site is.
