Pull Text From Website And Insert Into Listbox?

[anyday]

hey guys im back again .

im trying to figure out if it is possible to get text from the source of a website and insert it into a listbox as records?

example:

Source code of website:

<td align=middle><font class=fdata><small>TN</small></font></td>
                  <td align=middle><font class=fdata><small>QUOTE NAME HERE</small></font></td>
                  <td align=middle><font class=fdata><small>-</small></font></td>
                  <td align=middle><font class=fdata><small>11/16/2004</small></font></td>
                  <td align=middle><font class=fdata><small>350</small></font></td>

is there anyway that i could grab this info and have it display as one record in a gui . i dont know what would be the best to display in wether it be a listbox, combobox, listview. Just trying to figure out if this is possible.

an example of the output in gui would be like

State Client Effective Date Premium

TN Quote Name Here 11/16/2004 350

#include <array.au3>
Global $StringStuff[6]
$string = "<td align=middle><font class=fdata><small>TN</small></font></td>" & @CRLF & _ 
"<td align=middle><font class=fdata><small>QUOTE NAME HERE</small></font></td>" & @CRLF & _ 
"<td align=middle><font class=fdata><small>-</small></font></td>" & @CRLF & _ 
"<td align=middle><font class=fdata><small>11/16/2004</small></font></td>" & @CRLF & _ 
"<td align=middle><font class=fdata><small>350</small></font></td>"
$FirstSplit = StringSplit($string, @CRLF, 1)
For $i = 1 To $FirstSplit[0]
    $StringStuff[$i] = StringTrimLeft (StringTrimRight ($FirstSplit[$i], StringLen ("</small></font></td>")), StringLen ("<td align=middle><font class=fdata><small>"))
Next
_ArrayDisplay ($StringStuff, "whee")

thanks man that works good, now the next problem is i gotta figure out a way to set $string = to get it from the html source.

i could do $string = _IEBodyReadHTML() but that would get the whole document. i need to only load the certain strings and there could be more than 1

Global $YourString[6]
$Array = StringSplit (_IEBodyReadHtml($IEobj), "<td align=middle><font class=fdata><small>", 1)
For $i = 2 to 6
$YourString[$i-1] = StringTrimRight ($Array[$i], StringLen ("</small></font></td>" + 2))
Next

Assuming the first occurrence of "<td align=middle><font class=fdata><small>" is what you want (there aren't others in the source that would mess up the stringsplit), this should work.

would you think a listbox would be the best way to display it in a gui?

A listview, yes. You can make multiple colums to show the data, and then a listviewitem for each entry.

thanks for the help. you wouldnt happen to know if it is possible to resize a IE window to a specific resolution with autoit?

has to do with this script.

i looked through the functions and macros i see stuff to maximize but no resize.

i get the following error with this code.

If IsObj($o_object.document) Then
If ^ ERROR

Error: The requested action with this object has failed.

what i think is going on is the website i have to goto to get this information loads a popup window with the data i am trying to get out. does that mean that $oIE would not be my variable anymore for the browser window?

Thanks smoke n for the tip worked perfect.
