Query HTML Page

Hi Auto-It Community,

I have a small challenge.

Html-Code

<form action="dosomething" method="post" name="doit">
<input type="hidden" value="hm" name="ct">
<input type="hidden" value="u" name="id">
<input class="" type="submit" value="Jetzt testen" name="Submit">
</form>

 

I would like to get the "u" of the value. 

My approach was

$htmltext = _FFReadHtml()
$IwantThatId=_StringBetween($htmltext,'name="id" value="','">')
;Msgbox(64,"showMetheID",$IwantThatId)

Unfortunately I do not get anything back. 

What other options to I have? From what I saw I am lucky that this line only appears once. 

 

Your help is much appreciated.

'name="id" value="'

Where do you see this string in the input?

sorry, the correct code is

$htmltext = _FFReadHtml()
$IwantThatId=_StringBetween($htmltext,'name="hm" value="','">')
;Msgbox(64,"showMetheID",$IwantThatId)

@malreinschaun
Pay more attention at what you are doing, since you keep changing the script.
How could you retrieve something between A and B when you are trying to retrieve something form B and A?

@malreinschaun Have you considered upgrading to the Webdriver UDF (see my sig) so that you are stuck using an outdated version of FF?

@FrancescoDiMuro thanks for the input, still I do not know what you want to point out. 

 

@Danp2 thanks for the input - Currently I am just looking for a way to get that character.

Doubt that : Where is 'name="hm" value="' located in your text?
So my point really is: Stop the messing about and post your script you are testing with and please have a close look first yourself!

I am so sorry for mixing it up, now I saw my mistake. Here is the corrected example

<form action="dosomething" method="post" name="doit">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="b">
</form>

 

I would like to get the "b" of the value. 

My approach was

$htmltext = _FFReadHtml()
$IwantThatId=_StringBetween($htmltext,'name="id" value="','">')
;Msgbox(64,"showMetheID",$IwantThatId)

mmm..   so you really don't want to share what you are really doing and simply fix up some code to share with us. ....right.

Either way ...  the last posted code works fine when you display the first instance of the returned array. The Helpfile is your friend!

Thanks for your reply, I have already tried to use the following code without success. 

Msgbox(64,"showMetheID",$IwantThatId[0])

[Jos]

Works fine here:

#include <String.au3>
$htmltext='<form action="dosomething" method="post" name="doit"><input type="hidden" name="id" value="b"></form>'
$IwantThatId=_StringBetween($htmltext,'name="id" value="','">')
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $IwantThatId[0] = ' & $IwantThatId[0] & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
