Do you mean something like _IEBodyReadText? InetRead is for a file, not a site.

it seems that _IEBodyReadText is only for getting text from already opened ie 

i want to get text from a site for example "facebook.com"

 

 when i use inetread("facebook.com") i get the source code of the page.

i want to get the text in that webpage 

"Connect with friends and thFind more of what you're looking for with Graph Search"

InetRead returns the source of the page if its directed to it, the source after all is a file. unless you meant something else.

 

EDIT: here you go

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate("facebook.com")
$oText = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "pagelet_bluebar")
ConsoleWrite($oText.innertext & @CR)

I personally only use it for reading files, have never simply pointed it at the URL to get source (silly me I use _INetGetSource for that). I would think the easiest way is with _IEBodyReadText, and make the window invisible if you want:

#include <IE.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate("www.autoitscript.com", 0, 0)
Local $sText = _IEBodyReadText($oIE)
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Body Text", $sText)

_IEQuit($oIE)

I am sure someone much smarter than I will wander along, and may have another way of doing it.

 

Edit: Or if the window is already open:

#include <IE.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
 
Local $oIE = _IEAttach("http://stevedonovan.github.io/winapi/api.html", "url", 1)
Local $sText = _IEBodyReadText($oIE)
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Body Text", $sText)
 
_IEQuit($oIE)

_INetGetSource uses InetRead to return the source of the page, not so silly after all.
