How to close 1 copy of IE, if multiple copies are running

[Noddle]

Hi,

I'm querying my solar system controller, to pull imformation from it web front end every 5 minutes,

but sometime  IE freaks out and does not close

so how do I close the instance of IE that I open ( forcible, if need be ),  but leave any other instance of IE alone,

this is the  code i'm using to open, and close it.

$oIE = _IECreate("http://192.168.1.5/cgi-bin/home",1,0)
$oTable = _IETableGetCollection($oIE, 0)
$_HomeDataTable = _IETableWriteToArray($oTable)
_IEQuit($oIE)

I do have a rotuine to close all instance of IE, but that not what i'm wanting to do.

thanks for any help

Since you are always setting visibility = 0, you can do a winlist, and loop through to close all the Non Visible instances...like:

$aIE = WinList("[CLASS:IEFrame]")
For $i = 1 To UBound($aIE)-1
    If Not BitAND(WinGetState($aIE[$i][1]),2) Then WinClose($aIE[$i][1])
Next

Will leave any of your visible IE's untouched.

Thank you for this,

I looked at how it works,  and came up with this,

#include <ie.au3>
#include<array.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate("http://192.168.1.5/cgi-bin/home",0,0)
$oTable = _IETableGetCollection($oIE, 0)
$_HomeDataTable = _IETableWriteToArray($oTable)

_CloseIE ("192.168.1.5")

Exit

Func _CloseIE ($_PartURL)
    $aIE = WinList("[CLASS:IEFrame]")
    For $i = 1 To UBound($aIE)-1
        If StringInStr($aIE[$i][0],$_PartURL) then WinClose($aIE[$i][1])
    Next
EndFunc

I can also use this on some of my other little "apps" I have wrote,
