Custom Objects

[Neokil]

Hello guys,

I am quite new to AutoIt and was trying to do some Website-Automation using the IE-Plugin.
The Point where I got stuck is when I have to save my data into objects. What I am trying to do is to loop through a collection of Website-Elements and save some informations if the current Element meets a certain condition. It looks like this:

Local $DataArray = [0]

For $item In _IETagNameGetCollection($IE, "div")
    If $item.className = "target" Then
        Local $Data = ???
        $Data.Link = $item.href
        $Data.Description = $item.innerText
        
        $DataArray.Push($Data)
    EndIf
Next

But as you might already know, it doesnt work like this. First Problem is I cant find a way to create an empty Object to create a structure for my Data. The second one is if I call "$DataArray.Push" it tells me "$DataArray ==> Variable must be of type 'Object'."

Anyone there who could tell me how those two things are done in AutoIt?

 

Greetings

AutoIt does not natively support arbitary objects like that, perhaps you could use a scripting dictionary, or a map in beta version.

This looks a lot like a map indeed. Why not a simple 2D array ?

So if I get it right you suggest something like this?

Local $DataArray = [0]

For $item In _IETagNameGetCollection($IE, "div")
    If $item.className = "target" Then
        Local $Data[2]
        $Data[0] = $item.href
        $Data[1] = $item.innerText
        
        $DataArray.Push($Data)
    EndIf
Next

This solved the first problem I had, but "$DataArray.Push" is still throwing the same exception.

Maybe something like this ? (untested)

$oDivs = _IETagNameGetCollection($IE, "div")
$count = @extended

Local $DataArray[$count][2], $i = 0
For $item In $oDivs
    If $item.className = "target" Then
        $Data[$i][0] = $item.href
        $Data[$i][1] = $item.innerText
        $i += 1
    EndIf
Next
Redim $DataArray[$i-1][2]
