Double quotes vs single quotes

[Gyba]

Hello,

How can I search for this string:

Quote

GoToRealm('pki');

If I tried the below combinations, both of them generated errors:

Quote

 

"GoToRealm(''pki'');"

"GoToRealm("'pki'");"

 

Any ideas? 

Thank you.

Try  'GoToRealm(''pki'');'

Can you post the part of the script where you seach for the string?

[Gyba]

$source = BinaryToString(InetRead('https://mypage.com', 1))

$string = StringRegExp($source, "javascript:GoToRealm('pki')", 3)

For $a In $string
    ConsoleWrite($a & @CRLF)
Next

What I am trying to do is to search in a web page a button and click it. In IE developer console the button looks like this:

<a class="button" style="left: 54px; background-color: rgb(153, 153, 153);" href="javascript:GoToRealm('pki');">login</a>

I have 4 buttons in total, 2 of them looking very similar:

<a class="button" style="left: 54px; background-color: rgb(153, 153, 153);" href="javascript:GoToRealm('pki');">login</a>

<a class="button" style="left: 54px; background-color: rgb(153, 153, 153);" href="javascript:GoToRealm('pkissl');">login</a>

So I cannot search for "pki" only.

Maybe you can try this.

$source = StringReplace(BinaryToString(InetRead('https://mypage.com', 1)), "'", "&squo;")
$string = StringRegExp($source, "javascript:GoToRealm(&squo;pki&squo;)", 3)

For $a In $string
    ConsoleWrite(StringReplace($a, "&squo;", "'") & @CRLF)
Next

Gyba,

In future, do NOT hijack 11 year old threads - even if they are vaguely connected with your question. Just start a new thread as I have now done for you.

Ok, I thought the opening of too many new topics might be considered spam as long as there are similar topics discussed on the forum. Will take in consideration your advice in the future. Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion. As I do this to get used to AutoIt I decided to go with the second button as it is unique on the page and easier to locate (pkissl). No my problem is: how to click it?

I tried something like this:

 

$source = BinaryToString(InetRead('https://mypage.com', 1))

$string = StringRegExp($source, "pkissl", 3)

For $a In $string
    ConsoleWrite($a & @CRLF)
Next

_IELinkClickByText($source, "pkissl")

It doesn't work :(.  Any suggestion? 

As can be seen it the HTML code I provided above, this is not a regular link, it has some javascript behind. Does this matters in any way?

Thank you.

I am not an expert either. I had difficulties in reading the text of a window created by  javascript. With help from this forum, I solved my problem with WebDriver. WebDriver may be a solution for you, too. You may like to take a look at below article.
