This tiny yet powerful UDF will help you to convert Images to text with the help of  OCRSpace API version 3.50 .
Detect text from a local file.

I am looking to create a script which refreshes/reads a webpage every few seconds. My goal is to see if the page has changed, then I will send myself a notification that the webpage has been updated.
 
However, rather than downloading the entire webpage every single time, is there a way to check when the webpage last updated?
 
If not, is there away to partially download/read html source until a specific tag is hit?
 
Goal: I would like to increase my poll rate and not excessively waste data.

In the past there was many questions about how to: "Automatic file upload using without user interaction"

But I miss something and the code not works as intendend.
Please join and contribute, in solving this issue, as this will be handy for entire community.
@mLipok
 
btw.
I think that this may be realated to ChrB() which I simply translate to StringToBinary()
Especialy this :
StringToBinary(Chr(0))) could be the main issue.
But for now I'm tired and going to sleep.
Hope maybe tomorrow somebody solve this issue.
 

Am trying to automate injecting credential on the login form for all kind of Web application for IE. I know how to identify the form name by viewing the source code and using the method - _IEFormGetObjByName($ie, $form_Name).
I would like to know how to identify or get the form object for the web app where there is no form name tag for example below, for the is I have used - _IEFormGetCollection($ie, 0) to get the form object.
My Question is does it work for all kind of application "_IEFormGetCollection($ie, 0)" how to identify Index value? is it always 0? is there any better solution?
The final solution am looking for is find out form object, get the username, password field and inject credential and submit the form.
How to find out index value? for the forms which does not have form name field.
$login_form = _IEFormGetCollection($ie, 0) $email_field = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($login_form, $form_UserName) $pass_field = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($login_form, $form_password) $login_button = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($login_form, $form_submitbutton) _IEFormElementSetValue($email_field, $CmdLine[2]) _IEFormElementSetValue($pass_field, $CmdLine[3]) ControlSend($hwnd, "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]","{Enter}") OR This works fine if the form has form name. $login_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($ie, $form_Name) $email_field = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($login_form, $form_UserName) $pass_field = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($login_form, $form_password) $login_button = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($login_form, $form_submitbutton) _IEFormElementSetValue($email_field, $CmdLine[2]) _IEFormElementSetValue($pass_field, $CmdLine[3]) ControlSend($hwnd, "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]","{Enter}")

The following code creates a IE blank window
Local $oIE = _IECreate()  
But when i use Navigate to the URL, it open the URL in Microsoft Edge instead if IE.
_IENavigate($oIE,$url)  
What should i do to navigate in IE.
Complete code :
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <WinAPIFiles.au3> #include <IE.au3> #Region TESTING Local $url = 'https://www.youtube.com' Local $oIE = _IECreate() _IENavigate($oIE,$url) #EndRegion Console Output
IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IELoadWait, $_IESTATUS_ClientDisconnected (-2147023174, Browser has been deleted prior to operation.)  
I have searched the forums but did not find such kind of post.
Other posts were describing How to use Edge using Web driver selenium.
 
Edit: I am working in Windows10. Recently many changes have been done by Microsoft to IE and Microsoft Edge. (2020)
Earlier in 2019 this was working fine.
