Arclite86 · March 24, 2014

this is the text that i try to get:

<a class="js-nav" href="/followers" data-nav="followers" data-element-term="follower_stats" data-is-compact="false">  <strong title="985" class="js-mini-profile-stat">985</strong>
</a>

the only about the (dynamic) number 985

this is my script:

$tekst3 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 8, 70, 145, 49)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "")
$tekst4 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 6, 122, 148, 62)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "followbacklist3")

$follwers = ("/followers")
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button3


$link = GUICtrlRead($tekst4)

        $oIE = _IECreate("https://twitter.com/"&$link & $follwers)   

$oInput2s = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "a")
For $oInput2 In $oInput2s
    If $oInput2.className() = "js-nav" Then
        If StringInStr($oInput2.innerHTML(), 'Volgers') Then
            ConsoleWrite(_StringBetween($oInput2.innerHTML(),'>','<')[0] & @CRLF)
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    EndIf
Next

$numbvolgers = (_StringBetween($oInput2.innerHTML(),'>','<')[0] & @CRLF)

GUICtrlSetData($tekst3,""& $numbvolgers )


EndSwitch
WEnd

if i try to run it it shuts down and gives the error:

If _StringBetween fails, then it doesn't return an array. Suggest that you check the result from _StringBetween before attempting to access it as an array.

You can also do something like this, rather than the stringbetween:

;~ Where html is:
;~ <HTML>
;~ <title>something</title>
;~ <BODY>
;~ <a href="google.com"><strong>50</strong></a>
;~ </BODY>
;~ </HTML>
$oIe = _IEAttach("something")
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIe)
For $oLink In $oLinks
    If $oLink.childnodes.length > 0 Then
        ConsoleWrite($oLink.childnodes.item(0).innertext & @CRLF)
    EndIf
Next

#include <IE.au3>

$oIe = _IEAttach("js-nav","Followbacklist(@followbacklist3) op Twitter")
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIe)

    If $oLink.childnodes.length > 0 Then

    EndIf
Next

MsgBox(0,"message","number:"&$oLinks)

Could you please help me I think you understand more about this than I do

Is the 'tab' on your browser = js-nav? If not, then it won't attach, you won't get any links, and will fail when you attempt to itterate through them...because you are not doing any error checking.

If you are using the 'tab' to identify what to attach to, that's the 'title', which is the default 2nd param of IEattach, so you do not need to enter it.

ok i have corrected the title now i got:

;~ Where html is:
;~ <HTML>
;~ <title>Followbacklist(@followbacklist3) op Twitter</title>
;~ <BODY>
;~ <a href="https://followbacklist/followers"><strong>50</strong></a>
;~ </BODY>
;~ </HTML>

#include <IE.au3>

$oIe = _IEAttach("Followbacklist(@followbacklist3) op Twitter")
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIe)
For $oLink In $oLinks
    If $oLink.childnodes.length > 0 Then
        ConsoleWrite($oLink.childnodes.item(0).innertext & @CRLF)
    EndIf
Next

MsgBox(0,"message","number:"&$oLinks)

the title of the tab = "Followbacklist(@followbacklist3) op Twitter"

I corrected what you said but it still doesn't work what am i doing wrong now?..I cant figure it out

Danp2 · March 25, 2014

You need to reread the help entry for _IEAttach. As jdelaney pointed out, you are passing an invalid option for the 2nd parameter.

Edit: Post the output again from running the above code. Is the _IEAttach still failing? You have to help us help you! ;-)

I am realy trying to understand it but english is not my first languages and I am really having a hard time to understand this.

the title of the tab = ""Followbacklist(@followbacklist3) op Twitter""

and the element that i try to get is : (number 985)

<a class="js-nav" href="/followers" data-nav="followers" data-element-term="follower_stats" data-is-compact="false">  <strong title="985" class="js-mini-profile-stat">985</strong>
</a>

please help me

You need to add some error checking to your code. Once the call to _IEAttach fails (@error equals $_IEStatus_NoMatch), then it doesn't make sense to continue as if the error hasn't occurred.

_IEAttach defaults to looking for a substring of the title. Try running the following and post the results:

#include <IE.au3>

$oIe = _IEAttach("Followbacklist")

If @error = $_IEStatus_NoMatch Then
    ConsoleWrite("IE tab not found!" & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIe)

If @error = $_IEStatus_Success Then
    $linkCnt = @extended
    ConsoleWrite("Link count = " & $linkCnt & @CRLF)

    For $oLink In $oLinks
        If $oLink.childnodes.length > 0 Then
            ConsoleWrite($oLink.childnodes.item(0).innertext & @CRLF)
        EndIf
    Next
EndIf

it keeps saying IE tab not found! but the tab is called:" Followbacklist (@followbacklist3) op Twitter" and i used it:

;~ Where html is:
;~ <HTML>
;~ <title> Followbacklist (@followbacklist3) op Twitter</title>
;~ <BODY>
;~ <a href="https://twitter.com/followbacklist3"><strong>50</strong></a>

    Next
EndIf

(if I use "_IEAttach("Followbacklist")" it give's the same error

Danp2 · March 25, 2014

If I open an IE tab to https://twitter.com/followbacklist3 and then run the previous code that I posted, the script runs as expected.

With your posted code, this line fails:

$oIe = _IEAttach(" Followbacklist (@followbacklist3) op Twitter")

There are 3 issues: leading space, @ symbol, and 'op' vs 'on'. Making these corrections and this lines attaches properly:

$oIe = _IEAttach("Followbacklist (followbacklist3) on Twitter")

op = dutch for on ^_^

but if i open a the IE browser and go to the link,

and use: $oIe = _IEAttach("Followbacklist (followbacklist3) on Twitter")

or $oIe = _IEAttach("Followbacklist (followbacklist3) op Twitter")

IDK. Have you tried using _IEAttach with a different web site? Or perhaps using the URL instead of the title?

You need to locate the correct link by checking it's properties. Here's one way to do it:

#include <IE.au3>

$oIe = _IEAttach("Followbacklist (followbacklist3) on Twitter")

If @error = $_IEStatus_NoMatch Then
    ConsoleWrite("IE tab not found!" & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIe)

If @error = $_IEStatus_Success Then
    $linkCnt = @extended
    ConsoleWrite("Link count = " & $linkCnt & @CRLF)

    For $oLink In $oLinks
        If $oLink.className = 'js-nav' Then
            If $oLink.getAttribute('data-nav') = 'followers' Then
                ConsoleWrite('Followers = ' & $oLink.innerText & @CRLF)
            EndIf
        EndIf
    Next
EndIf
