parsing data from a window

[pdug175]

Hello, my first post - pleased to meet you all.

I am after some help as I'm trying to parse data from the current window in view(stuff in the Visible Window Text ). Is anyone in possesion of any simple scripts that loads the current windows data into autoit for analysis. Thank you.

...I'm trying to parse data from... (stuff in the Visible Window Text )...

Do you mean like this?

$var = StringSplit(WinGetText(""), @CRLF)
For $i = 1 To $var[0]
    MsgBox(0, "$var[" & $i & "]", $var[$i])
Next

Nice Plato... but consider using the StringSplit optional flag when the split parameter is more then 1 char.

As much as I use StringSplit and @CRLF, you would think that I would have learned that by now :-(

Thanks for the kind reminder.

$var = StringSplit(WinGetText(""), @CRLF)
For $i = 1 To $var[0]
    ConsoleWrite("$var[" & $i & "]" & $var[$i] & @CR)
Next

$var = StringSplit(WinGetText(""), @CRLF, 1)
For $i = 1 To $var[0]
    ConsoleWrite("$var[" & $i & "]" & $var[$i] & @CR)
Next

Thanks... but is it what the original post requested?

I guess that StringSplit meets the request to "parse data".

...and the code that I posted meets the request for "simple scripts".

Hey plato, I was trying out your script. And I tried to write $var to a file with FileWrite() problem is... it just comes up as a blank. Anything I have to do to be able to do so?

EDIT: Nvm... was just me being stupid on that one....

New problem is that when it does write to the file, it only writes part of what was in the window...

From the help file on the WinGetText function:

Remarks

Up to 64KB of window text can be retrieved.

How much text are you "getting"? And why would you want to do it that way. Frankly, I cannot see a use for code like I posted - unless you are trying to log quick changes to a window.

This really is excellent - worked a treat, thanks for the help. I should be well on my way to completing this script now. I'll let you know how I get on later on this weekend.

Glad to help...

It stopped at 33kb. And I am trying to record quick changes. I'm trying to record AIM messages and then run whatever is messaged and read by your script as code... of course after getting rid of the HTML stuff. Unless theres a way to littlerally just read the text someone sent.

I don't now why it would stop at 33kb and I do not know of another way to "read" the AIM window... but you should probably start a separate thread for your issue.
