Hi @Jess,

Quote

and write all the data in that div to word

Do you mean that you want to copy the content of a portion of a specific website which contains this specific div classname to Microsoft Word?

It would help if you could provide the website's url also

Hi,

Yes you are correct . I am trying to retrieve the data in this div specific classname of a website. Can You help me in that?

 

Thanks

[Neutro]

I'll try

Can you provide the url of the website that you're trying to retreive data from, or a substitute that can be used as an example?

Url : https://cmooc.cognizant.com

Can this be done in chrome as well?

or only in IE?

 

Thanks

There is no div with the classname "

yui3-tab-panel yui3-tab-panel-selected

in the url that you provided, but i guess you are refering to a page you get after you login to that website.

#include <IE.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate("https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/Web/API/Node/textContent", 1)

$divs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "div")

For $div In $divs
    If $div.className = "wrap center" Then
        MsgBox(0, "text", $div.innertext)
    EndIf
Next

_IEQuit($oIE)

Your solution is working if the classname "yui3-tab..." exists for a specific div element and contains text in the webpage you are looking for.

If you have errors with it, it might be because the classname does not exists in the url/webpage you are searching into.

Hi,

This is the error I am getting

IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IELoadWait, $_IESTATUS_InvalidObjectType ()
 IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IEGetObById, $_IESTATUS_InvalidObjectType

 

thanks

url : https://cmooc.cognizant.com/course/view.php?id=33

That class name is there in this url. Please see to it.

Here is the code

#include <GuiTab.au3>
#include<String.au3>
#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
#include <IE.au3>
#include <Array.au3>



; Run Google Chrome
 Run("C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe")

;$oIE = _IECreate("https://cmooc.cognizant.com/")

WinWaitActive("[Intermediate D3D Window]","",10)


; Open a new tab with Ctrl+t
Sleep(9000)

Send("https://cmooc.cognizant.com/{ENTER}")
; Type the address and press Enter in one command
Sleep(5000)

Send('{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{ENTER}')
sleep(7000)

MouseClick( $MOUSE_CLICK_PRIMARY,528,623)

Local $oDiv = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "section-1")
;$divs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "div")

For $div In $divs
    If $div.className == "yui3-tab-panel yui3-tab-panel-selected" Then
        MsgBox(0, "text", $div.innerText)
    EndIf
Next

Only you can access this url because you're already logged to this website

If you logout and try to connect to it again, it goes back to  https://cmooc.cognizant.com

But please DO NOT SEND YOUR LOGIN / PASSWORD to anyone, including me  

So basicly you are trying to retrieve data from a website of a company from which you are a customer from? Most of the time companies like cognizant for you have APIs they develop to do precisely what you are trying to do. 

Instead of having troubles doing this manually, you should try to contact their support first, explain them what you are trying to achieve and ask them if they have an API that you could use to do it

You can't use the _IE* functions with Chrome.

Ok 

 

Thanks for your support
