I often find myself resorting to these forums for help with various questions I have and most of the time a quick search is able to give me the answer I need. Mounds of examples, explanations, and definitions. For me personally I find myself copying and pasting examples time and time again downloading archived UDF's and so on. What I would like to do is some parsing of the example scripts in the topic post of the forum. It would be nice to directly extract the examples and say I don't know run them. Some grabbing of any required .zip's or attached files for examples would be nice.

I do not know if any of you have done or thought about doing this, or if it would even be useful but for me it is so I want to figure out how to accomplish this task. I'm not so worried about the latter of two, for now downloading the zip's and such, just grabbing some of the example scripts from post within code tags will suffice.

My understanding of regular expressions is mediocre, but improving as the days go on. My overall understanding of programming is laughable since I've been working solidly with this language for about a month now. I have a general understanding of concepts and can pick up on things rather quickly. Where I am at so far is full of errors I know. The arrays have been hacked together to work since figuring out how to do something is much easier than figuring out how to do it right, but that is why I am here.

Where I am at so far. Feed the thing a URL and return back the first 20 post example scripts on the 1st page kind of... The URL = ?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>

Func _HTML_StripTags($sHTMLData)
    If $sHTMLData = "" Then Return SetError(1, 0, $sHTMLData)
 
    Local $oHTML = ObjCreate("HTMLFILE")
 
    If @error Then Return SetError(1, 0, $sHTMLData)
 
    $oHTML.Open()
    $oHTML.Write($sHTMLData)
 
    Return SetError(0, 0, $oHTML.Body.InnerText)
EndFunc   ;==>_HTML_StripTags
Func _ForumGetPostExScript($sURLSrc, $iPstNum)
    ; get post number and some of a general description (?:\A|\#\d+\h).*

    Local $sRetHtmlSrc, $sRetHtmlStrpd, $sRetCodePost
    
    $sRetHtmlSrc = _InetGetSource($sURLSrc)
    
    $sRetHtmlStrpd = _HTML_StripTags($sRetHtmlSrc)
    
    Local $x = 2
    Local $arr[1]
    $sRetCodePost = StringRegExp($sRetHtmlStrpd, '(?:\A|\#\d+\h)', 3)
    For $i = 1 to Ubound($sRetCodePost, 1) - 1
        If $i = 20 then
            $sRetCode = _StringBetween($sRetHtmlStrpd, $sRetCodePost[$i], 'Back to top')
            _ArrayAdd($arr, $sRetCode[0])
            ExitLoop 1
        Else
            For $x = $x to Ubound($sRetCodePost, 1) - 1
                $sRetCode = _StringBetween($sRetHtmlStrpd, $sRetCodePost[$i], $sRetCodePost[$x])
                _ArrayAdd($arr, $sRetCode[0])
                $x = $x+1
                ExitLoop 1
            Next
        EndIf
        _ArrayInsert($arr, 0, $i+2)
        _ArrayDelete($arr, 1)
    Next
    _ArrayDisplay($arr)

The output looks like this

[1] Chimaera Chimaera Sorry .. Where am i again? Active Members  1,722 posts Posted 04 April 2012 - 03:32 PM Welcome to the AutoIt Snippets thread

This section is dedicated to small reusable pieces of AutoIt code i.e. Snippets
They can be added to your script to give extra functionality without writing extra code. they are varied and cover many subjects like GUI's, Maths, Networking and many others.

 Autoit Snippets

Please visit the link above and you will find many examples to help you.

Many thanks for all the work from everybody who contributed to the original Autoit Wrappers thread created by Valuater which gave us the starting point for the Wiki, and those who added their code to it like Valuater, guinness, SmOke_N, GEOSoft, Zedna, Mhz, GaryFrost and many others.


Submitting Code Instructions
We would also like you to have a look through your saved code and if you have examples that would be usefull to others then submit them so they can be added to the wiki for the benefit of all.
After you have submitted one they will remain on the thread for a short while and after it has been added to the Wiki it will be removed from the thread shortly afterwards to keep the submissions current.

Take this example by guinness
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w- 7

; Checks To See If The Internet Is Connected

ConsoleWrite("Internet Is Connected" & " = " & _IsInternetConnected() & @CRLF) ; ( Returns "True" Or "False" )

Func _IsInternetConnected()
    Local $aReturn = DllCall('connect.dll', 'long', 'IsInternetConnected')
    If @error Then
        Return SetError(1, 0, False)
    EndIf
    Return $aReturn[0] = 0
EndFunc ;==>_IsInternetConnected
This is how we would like them submitted so that whoever uses the example can paste it in SciTE and it gives a result [MsgBox / ConsoleWrite Etc] that the user can see and understand.
They don't have to be in a Function like the above example (Although that will be the preferred option), but they must have a way of calling the code so it gives a reproducible result.

A few points to note for submissions:
1: All code to be submitted must be run with this line and have no errors or warnings. #AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w- 7
2: Please use Tidy on your scripts before you submit them
3: Although it is our aim to transfer all posted scripts into the Wiki listings, the final decision to do so is entirely at the discretion of the editorial panel.

Remember this is NOT a UDF thread, Snippets are small functions pieces of code not large ones, if your code has more than 2-3 functions in it, you may be better looking at making a UDF.
Instructions on how to make one are to be found here. UDF Standards

I hope you will make use of this section and add too it to make it better for all who use AutoIt

Many thanks to guinness and Melba23 for their help and advice whilst the section was being made 

As the Wiki is now open for editing this is the template ive used to add the sections so far In the Snippets Section
This code is for adding to the Wiki only it will not work in AutoIt
=== Your Title Goes Here ===

{{Snippet Header
| AuthorURL=35302-guinness <<<<< Change To Your Name Here ( Copy User Name Link Location to get the entry number e.g. forum/user/35302-guinness)
| AuthorName=guinness <<<<< Change To Your Name Here
}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">

Your AutoIt Snippet Code goes here between the syntax highlights so it shows like AutoIt would show it.

</syntaxhighlight>

[[#top | ReturnToContents]]
Leave the rest unchanged so they are similar and uniform.

Note:
Can we keep conversation in this thread to a minimum please, as this sections posts are deleted as they are added to the wiki, so if your chatting about a piece of code it will deleted as well.
Better to discuss elsewhere, Thanks.

Enjoy your coding

[3] czardas czardas  Active Members  6,119 posts Posted 09 July 2012 - 08:03 AM A couple of small tweaks to the function Random()

MsgBox(0, "", _Random(-1)) ; Example

Func _Random($nNum1 = 0, $nNum2 = 0, $iFlag = 0)
    If Not IsNumber($nNum1) Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0) ; Invalid 1st parameter
    Switch @NumParams
        Case 0
            Return Random()
        Case 1
            If $nNum1 < 0 Then Return -Random(-$nNum1)
            Return Random($nNum1)
        Case Else
            If Not IsNumber($nNum1) Or ($iFlag <> 0 And $iFlag <> 1) Then Return SetError(2, 0, 0) ; Invalid 2nd or 3rd parameter
            If $nNum1 = $nNum2 Then Return $nNum1
            If $nNum2 > $nNum1 Then Return Random($nNum1, $nNum2, $iFlag)
            Return Random($nNum2, $nNum1, $iFlag)
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

One parameter returns a value between that number and zero. Two parameters return a random number between the two numbers - the order they appear is irrelevant. Two equal parameters return the actual number. The flag behaves exactly as it does with the native AutoIt function.

[6] BrewManNH BrewManNH ב×ָבקעס מיט קודוצ׳ה MVPs  8,676 posts Posted 24 July 2012 - 01:38 PM A minor modification of the above snippet, which by the way is excellent. It moves the instructions about CTRL-V to the title of the MsgBox and translates the language code. I borrowed the language code conversion function from the help file. The reason I moved the line about CTRL-V to the title is because that was also being sent to the clipboard when generating the information, now only the relevant info is being sent to it.

I don't mind at all, I did think about posting something similar using _GetOSLanguage (see signature) but didn't bother. 
Thanks for the comments, I just realised today those that post generally lack the basic information required to help them.
