RickB75 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Guys, For the life of me, I can figure out how to do this simple task. I want to populate an array with a list of links. I can populate the array with one link at the time but for the main part of my script I need the full list of links so I can use a Ubound to count through them. Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://graydanielsnissanofjackson.com/Jackson-MS/For-Sale/New/") Local $links = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE) For $link In $links If StringInStr($link.href,"http://graydanielsnissanofjackson.com/Jackson-MS/For-Sale/New/?Model=") Then ConsoleWrite("Link Found: " & $Link.href & @CRLF) $linkarray = StringSplit($link.href,' ',2) EndIf Next _ArrayDisplay($linkarray) What am I missing here guys???

JohnOne Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Look at the function _StringBetween() Something like. Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://graydanielsnissanofjackson.com/Jackson-MS/For-Sale/New/") Local $code = _IEBodyReadHTML($oIE) $aLinks = _StringBetween($code, 'http://graydanielsnissanofjackson.com/Jackson-MS/For-Sale/New/?Model=', '"') _ArrayDisplay($aLinks) AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.

RickB75 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Thanks John! That is one way to do it that I didn't think of. Can you show me how to build the array with the string data. I will use your example in my main script this time but I really want to learn how to build the array. I have other scripts that this would be useful on. I tried using the _ArrayAdd function but I could not get it to work. I was thinking that I could use some thing like this Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://graydanielsnissanofjackson.com/Jackson-MS/For-Sale/New/") Local $links = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE) Global $myarray For $link In $links If StringInStr($link.href,"http://graydanielsnissanofjackson.com/Jackson-MS/For-Sale/New/?Model=") Then ConsoleWrite("Link Found: " & $Link.href & @CRLF) Local $linkarray = StringSplit($link.href,' ') EndIf _Arrayadd ($myarray,$linkarray) Next _ArrayDisplay($myarray) and I could not get that to work. Also, I tried using this _ArrayAdd($myarray, $link.href) but that didn't work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOne Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Probably something like.... #include <IE.au3> #include <Array.au3> Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://graydanielsnissanofjackson.com/Jackson-MS/For-Sale/New/") Local $links = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE) Global $myarray For $link In $links If StringInStr($link.href, "http://graydanielsnissanofjackson.com/Jackson-MS/For-Sale/New/?Model=") Then ConsoleWrite("Link Found: " & $Link.href & @CRLF) _ArrayAdd($myarray, $link.href) EndIf Next _ArrayDisplay($myarray) AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.

RickB75 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 That's exactly what I thought but I keep getting an error. If I understand the help file correctly, I should be able to use _ArrayAdd($myarray,"my value here") and it should insert it at the end of $myarray. Question??? Am I declaring the array incorrectly?

JohnOne Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Not sure, try... #include <IE.au3> #include <Array.au3> Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://graydanielsnissanofjackson.com/Jackson-MS/For-Sale/New/") Local $links = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE) Global $myarray[1] = 1 For $link In $links If StringInStr($link.href, "http://graydanielsnissanofjackson.com/Jackson-MS/For-Sale/New/?Model=") Then ConsoleWrite("Link Found: " & $Link.href & @CRLF) _ArrayAdd($myarray, $link.href) $myarray[UBound($myarray)-1] += 1 EndIf Next _ArrayDisplay($myarray) Edited December 5, 2013 by JohnOne AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.

RickB75 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Syntax error. Local $myarray[1] = 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickB75 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Let me try something real quick. I don't think the array is being declared. I'm gonna throw some text in there just to see what it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickB75 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 that's it. I just made the variable into an array. $myarray[1] = ["text"] and it worked perfectly. Is this the only way to declare an array before you actually use it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylomas Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) RickB75, Try this. See comments in code... #include <ie.au3> #include <array.au3> local $aLinks[1] ; declare your array with one entry Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://graydanielsnissanofjackson.com/Jackson-MS/For-Sale/New/",0,0) Local $links = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE) For $link In $links If StringInStr($link.href,"http://graydanielsnissanofjackson.com/Jackson-MS/For-Sale/New/?Model=") Then ConsoleWrite("Link Found: " & $Link.href & @CRLF) $aLinks[ubound($aLinks)-1] = $link.href ; add the link to your array redim $aLinks[ubound($aLinks)+1] ; increase array by one EndIf Next _ArrayDisplay($aLinks) kylomas edit: I also supressed display of the WEB site...I see J1 got in before me...

Is this the only way to declare an array before you actually use it??? Yeah sorry about that, my mistake. Depends what function is using it I suppose. I'd keep $myarray[1] = [0], that way $myarray[0] should should always hold the count of links found.

jdelaney Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) I like it like this, so your array is always perfectly defined (no empty bounds)...but that's just personal pref...another way, would be to delete the UBound dim, after you exit the for loop (kylomas sample) #include <ie.au3> #include <array.au3> local $aLinks ; declare the variable to become the array Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://graydanielsnissanofjackson.com/Jackson-MS/For-Sale/New/",0,0) Local $links = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE) For $link In $links If StringInStr($link.href,"http://graydanielsnissanofjackson.com/Jackson-MS/For-Sale/New/?Model=") Then ConsoleWrite("Link Found: " & $Link.href & @CRLF) If IsArray($aLinks) Then ReDim $aLinks[ubound($aLinks)+1] Else Local $aLinks[1] EndIf $aLinks[ubound($aLinks)-1] = $link.href ; add the link to your array EndIf Next _ArrayDisplay($aLinks) Edited December 5, 2013 by jdelaney IEbyXPATH-Grab IE DOM objects by XPATH IEscriptRecord-Makings of an IE script recorder ExcelFromXML-Create Excel docs without excel installed GetAllWindowControls-Output all control data on a given window.

RickB75 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 With most of the scripts I've written, I've really never had to build an array from scratch. I've always had the data for the most part and it was a matter of declaring, sorting or deleting data in the array or telling the script the specified data in the array I needed. I never really had to build the arrays like this. This will help with my other scripts because I write a ton of data into Excel and I'm currently doing it line by line. It will be sooooo much faster to actually insert the array into an Excel worksheet. Thank you guys sooooo much for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
