IE.au3 throwing errors on lines 1875 or 1899

[Doc_UK]

Hi

I am getting errors with using IE.au3, either on lines 1875 or lines 1899 depending on the function I use (_IEGetObjByName for 1875 or _IEGetObjById for 1899) 

The code I have iterates thru a csv to input data into a web interface. The strange part of this is that it works for at least 28 lines of the csv, but then throws the one of the errors on anything from line 29 to 31 regardless of the data used in the csv.

While I am a newbie at Autoit, I am not a total programming newbie. I've tried the latest stable version of AutoIt as well as the current beta.

Am I missing something in the use of the UDF IE.au3 that will throw errors like this? It almost feels like I am hitting some sort of limitation on the IE UDF.

Thanks,

Doc

I think there must be a line in your CSV whith some exceptional data. Please post lines 29 to 31 from your CSV. Also the output from console is needed.

Did you read this: 

 How to use IE.au3  UDF with  AutoIt v3.3.14.x  

Can you post Console Output ?
Which AutoIt version you are using ?
Which IE version you are using ?

Hi

@AutoBert - as per original post it makes no odds what data set I use, I have a CSV of several thousand lines, no matter where I start in the CSV

 

@mLipok - here is the error console output:-

Autoit versions, live and beta, are as per the current Autoit website downloads.

SBS2011
https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/introduction.htm

Quote

Compatible with Windows XP SP3 / 2003 SP2 / Vista / 2008 / Windows 7 / 2008 R2 / Windows 8 / 2012 R2

If I understand well this is incompatibile unsupported.

But SBS2011 is just additions on top of 2008 R2 as I understand it.

Being that a newer server OS is supported doesn't make sense that SBS2011 inbetween 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 wouldn't be supported

Thanks,

Oh.. Sure, sorry.
 

So.
I think this is probabll the same problem as described here:
https://www.autoitscript.com/trac/autoit/ticket/3097

Try to compile with x64 version of 3.3.14.x
Or try your script with 3.3.12.x

edit: and back with results.

Hi

 

Just tried it under x64, same type of error message back in the console, although it did a lot more iterations of the CSV this time before it failed, 130 lines:-

Hi

 

Tried it with 3.3.14.2, same error. I couldn't find where to pull down the older version you suggested.

 

Because of time constraints for the project, I have rewritten the code to use the FF.au3 library, this is working ok so far and with many more iterations from the csv than MSIE could deal with.

Thanks,

Doc
