IE load with custom metadata

[Valnurat]

Hi.

Is it possible to load a webpage then add some custom metadata for searching and then reload the same webpage and then use the result for further action and can it be done without showing the webpage?

I'm trying to search for specific trips on sas.se

Could be or maybe not.  Hard to say with the information you just provided.  How about posting some code or at least give a detailed path to what you want to achieve ?

[Valnurat]

Right now, I don't have any code. I was just nosy to see is it was possible.

I was just thinking like as want to do with out any code:

1. Open sas.dk
2. Add my search criteria
3. Reload sas.dk
4. Do more code to find the trips I want. 

It seems you of course can use the Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://www.sas.dk"), but then you have the GUI.

 

So if this is possible, maybe I can be directed to the command that I start with load the webpage without any GUI.

What are the criteria that you would enter ?

What would be the criteria that you would retrieve after that ?

What will you do with the values retrieve : show that in a GUI ?

All that seems quite doable with IE UDF.

Search criteria like: 

From: cph

To: las

and then a date from and to and 2 adult.

Here to start you up, you will need to read the values of the return criteria.

#include <IE.au3>

Local $sOrigin = "CPH", $sDest = "EWR", $sDepart = "20201112", $sReturn = "20201127", $iAdult = 2
Local $sURL = "https://www.sas.dk/book/flights?search=RT_" & $sOrigin & "-" & $sDest & "-" & $sDepart & "-" & $sReturn & "_a" & $iAdult & _
    "c0i0y0&view=upsell&bookingFlow=revenue&sortBy=stop,stop"
Local $oIE = _IECreate($sURL)

I use EWR since las doesn't seem to be a valid entry...

[Valnurat]

Yes, that helped a lot.

Thank you.

In connection with this I noticed that a popup is appearing before I can do more.

I would like to check if the "style" in green is "display: block;" then I need to press the OK button in the black arrow.

How is that done?

Please provide the code that generate this, it will help us to give you appropriate help without writing script from scratch.

[Valnurat]

It isen't much:

#include <IE.au3>

Local $sOrigin = "CPH", $sDest = "EWR", $sDepart = "20210116", $iAdult = 2
Local $sURL = "https://www.sas.dk/book/flights?search=OW_" & $sOrigin & "-" & $sDest & "-" & $sDepart & "_a" & $iAdult & _
    "c0i0y0&view=upsell&bookingFlow=points&sortBy=stop&filterBy=all"
Local $oIE = _IECreate($sURL)

Here, but please next time, try to attempt something before asking for help. Thanks.

#include <Constants.au3>
#include <IE.au3>

Local $sOrigin = "CPH", $sDest = "EWR", $sDepart = "20210116", $iAdult = 2
Local $sURL = "https://www.sas.dk/book/flights?search=OW_" & $sOrigin & "-" & $sDest & "-" & $sDepart & "_a" & $iAdult & _
    "c0i0y0&view=upsell&bookingFlow=points&sortBy=stop&filterBy=all"
Local $oIE = _IECreate($sURL), $oWarn
For $i = 1 To 30
  Sleep(100)
  $oWarn = _IEGetObjById ($oIE,"got-it")
  If Not @error Then ExitLoop
Next
If Not IsObj($oWarn) Then Exit MsgBox ($MB_SYSTEMMODAL,"","Unable to get warning screen")
$oWarn.click()

That works for me...

[Valnurat]

Thank you.

I did, but it was not useful.

Can I ask what the $oWarn do in this, because I don't see that as an option in the help

Local $oIE = _IECreate($sURL), $oWarn

On a Local statement, you can list multiple creation of variables.  It is just to save lines

[Valnurat]

Aha, yes of course. Thank you.
