Browse Web (Firefox) - (Moved)

[sgtkt]

Hi everyone! I am looking for a way that I can open Firefox and every 5 seconds browse to a new website out of a pool of available websites that I define. Firstly, I am having a really hard time finding the basics using the wedriver udf. Can somebody assist in programming this and defining the best logic of the code? So perhaps using a for loop to choose one website, open the url and then sleep 5 seconds is good?

Every 5 seconds !. You'll have to share more than what you have as it has no context or purpose. Share your final goal.

I managed by using regular expressions to extract URLs from a received email. Afterwards I want to open that URLs in the list. I'm just adding a delay so I can see the URLs opening one by one

Look at WD_DEMO.au3, there is a navigation example in it.  Start with it, come back if you have problems...

for $n = 1 to UBound(list) -1
ShellExecute(firefox,"https://link from the list")
sleep(5000)

..but that makes little sense. Why would you do that ?. What can you see in 5 seconds ?. How browsers are you going to have open !.
You still not sharing your final goal. Not that I care for you to divulge your doings but there may be a better approach to your end goal.

Hello again everyone. I am experimenting a little bit with the IE browser navigation (_IECreate,  _IENavigate, _IEQuit). Are there equivalent functions for using the Firefox browser? For example what would be the equivalent for the following code in order to use the Firefox browser:

$oIE = _IECreate ("about:blank", 1)
_IENavigate ($oIE, "www.mysite.com")
_IEQuit($oIE)

Good point @somdcomputerguy 👍 .

You @sgtkt could also have a look into the WebDriver (projekt name "au3WebDriver") wiki page section Browser related functionality.
Which means the WebDriver approach can handle all the common Browsers out there.

Props to @Danp2, @mLipok and all the other contributors. And last but not least @water for a big documentation part in the wiki.
Thanks 😊 .

Best regards
Sven
