search for text in IE

[jeroen96]

hello,

I am new to autoit and i want to search for a certain sentence in the html of a website.

the sentence is: <span id="wood" title="Hout - 45 per uur" class="res">849</span>

but when i use

Global $tekst = _IEBodyReadHTML ($oIE)
If StringInStr ($tekst,"<span id={Asc 34}wood{asc 34} title={asc 34}Hout - 45 per uur{asc 34} class = {asc 34}res{asc 34}>849</span") Then
   MsgBox (0,"Found!","The text was found!",3)
Else
   MsgBox (0,"Failed!","The text was not found!",3)
EndIf

it does not find the string.

I tried some things and i think it has something to do with the {asc 34}

I hope someone can help me!

put code in code block

try this:

StringInStr($tekst, '<span id="wood" title="Hout - 45 per uur" class="res">849</span')

EDIT: Also, welcome to the AutoIt forum.

Using code tags will greatly help us look at a problem quickly, like so: [ autoit ] ; code here [ /autoit ] (remove spaces)

Local $var = "test" ; test

#include <IE.au3>

$text = $oObj.innertext
ConsoleWrite($text & @CRLF)
