ID's that have session numbers in them

[Rob774]

Hi guys

 

I must say that these forums have been a great help to me as I am starting out in Autoit scripting but I have hit a wall when it comes to my next issue.

 

What my script is doing is reading an Excel spread sheet and putting the data in to a field on a web page. What I have found now is that some fields are session based. So a field would be called "ID=Business_173623744894_Note_84" where the 173623744894 is the session number but the words are the same all the time.

 

The code I use now for fields I know the name of is:

 

Local $Note_Value = _ExcelReadCell($oExcel1, 7, 14) ;Reads the Excel spread sheet for a value

 

 

Local $note_text = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "note_text")

_IEFormElementSetValue($note_text, $Note_Value)

 

How can I write the code if the note_field is like the one above where is has a session number in it? If someone could help or point me in teh right direction it would be great. Thanks

Perhaps you could determine a way to calculate the proper name and then continue to use _IEGetObjByName. Otherwise, I would look at using _IETagNameGetCollection and then loop through the returned collection until you find the desired element.

Thanks, I will go looking for some examples of _IETagNameGetCollection and see if I can make it work.

First stop should be the help files example.
