Read Date From menu

[abdulrahmanok]

Hi Brothers Thank you all for your efforts I have this data :

<TR>
<TD CLASS="dddefault">
<SELECT NAME="selected_day">
<OPTION VALUE="14-OCT-16">14-OCT-16
<OPTION VALUE="13-OCT-16">13-OCT-16
<OPTION VALUE="12-OCT-16">12-OCT-16
<OPTION VALUE="11-OCT-16">11-OCT-16
<OPTION VALUE="10-OCT-16">10-OCT-16
</SELECT>
</TR>

I want to Get "Selected day " values into Variables and write it to msgbox or txt file

for example :

Value 1 = selected day,1

Because the date changes every day so i can't expect witch text written in

try this one bro 

Local $selectedday = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "selected_day")
MsgBox(0, "Value", $selectedday.value)

Or this one:

Local $sFilePath = @ScriptDir & "\test.txt"


; Read the current script file into an array using the filepath.
Local $aArray = FileReadToArray($sFilePath)
If @error Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "There was an error reading the file. @error: " & @error) ; An error occurred reading the current script file.
Else
    For $i = 0 To UBound($aArray) - 1 ; Loop through the array.
        $iString = StringInStr($aArray[$i], "OPTION VALUE")
        If $iString > 1 Then
            $sMyString = StringMid($aArray[$i], 16, 9)
            MsgBox(0, "My String", $sMyString)
        Else
            ContinueLoop
        EndIf
    Next
EndIf

(97) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".:
MsgBox(0, "Value", $selectedday.value)
MsgBox(0, "Value", $selectedday^ ERROR

[l3ill]

Yes there is nothing , and i notice now where there is not something like this in your code:
 

$oLinks = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "input")

 

[AutoBert]

You could also try this:

#Include <Array.au3>
#Include <String.au3>
$sText=FileRead('IE_Snipet.txt')    ;replace this with _IEBodyReadHTML
$aDate=_StringBetween($sText,'<SELECT NAME="selected_day">','</SELECT>')
If IsArray($aDate) Then $aDate=_StringBetween($aDate[0],'OPTION VALUE="','">')
If IsArray($aDate) Then
    _ArrayDisplay($aDate)
Else
    ConsoleWrite('Nothing found')
EndIf

Text is data from your opening post.

But it isn't realy needed to do it this way.

If the first option is always today you can also calculate the other options with _DateAdd and some stringmanipulations.

;replace this with _IEBodyReadHTML  Sorry for noob question but how to do this ?

do you mean replace  $sText=FileRead by _IEBodyReadHTML?

no i mean replace $sText=_IEBodyReadHTML($oIE). Like example in helpfile.

[abdulrahmanok]

Its stuck again in code and didn't show any result this is full code please check it 
 

Local $aArray = FileReadToArray($sFilePath)
If @error Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "There was an error reading the file. @error: " & @error) ; An error occurred reading the current script file.
Else
    For $i = 0 To UBound($aArray) - 1 ; Loop through the array.
        $iString = StringInStr($aArray[$i], "OPTION VALUE")
        If $iString > 1 Then
            $sMyString = StringMid($aArray[$i], 16, 9)
            MsgBox(0, "My String", $sMyString)
        Else
            ContinueLoop
        EndIf
    Next
EndIf
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Your Code :

$sText=_IEBodyReadHTML($oIE)    ;replace this with _IEBodyReadHTML
$aDate=_StringBetween($sText,'<SELECT NAME="selected_day">','</SELECT>')
If IsArray($aDate) Then $aDate=_StringBetween($aDate[0],'OPTION VALUE="','">')
If IsArray($aDate) Then
    _ArrayDisplay($aDate)
Else
    ConsoleWrite('Nothing found')
EndIf

MsgBox(0,"Passed","Continue")

I created msg box to check but i cant even see "Passed","Continue"

that's mean debug stuck in previous code

You are mixing 2 difernetly ways to solve. If you would try my solution, than

1. run script as i posted in https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/185030-read-date-from-menu/?do=findComment&comment=1328997  using IE_Snipet.txt
2. After change my script replacing line 3 with this 2 lines:

   $oIE=_IECreate('YourUrl')   ;change to your real URL
   $sText=_IEBodyReadHTML($oIE)

   and run again.  In both cases you get a array with the dates: 

3. 

IE_Snipet.txt

Tyyy Finally its worked i was need to Add (sleep) before your code to wait page until loading
I have final request if you can , I need to set this variables in text for example :

text lane 1 = [row0]

text lane2 = [row1]

[abdulrahmanok]

Thank You All Brothers little search and i found the code this is full code :
#Include <Array.au3>
#Include <String.au3>
#include <file.au3>
 

$sText=_IEBodyReadHTML($oIE)
$aDate=_StringBetween($sText,'<SELECT NAME="selected_day">','</SELECT>')
If IsArray($aDate) Then $aDate=_StringBetween($aDate[0],'OPTION VALUE="','">')
If IsArray($aDate) Then
    _ArrayDisplay($aDate)
    MsgBox(0,"",$aDate[0])
    MsgBox(0,"",$aDate[1])
        MsgBox(0,"",$aDate[2])
            MsgBox(0,"",$aDate[3])
MsgBox(0,"",$aDate[4])

Else
    ConsoleWrite('Nothing found')
EndIf

extend script with

For $i=0 To UBound($aDate) -1 
    MsgBox(0,$i&':',$aDate[$i]
Next

and you will see how to output specific element of the array. I suggest also reading wiki about Arrays .
