Find the location of text in a string

[Phases 0]

I have searched the forums, and cannot find something that will do what I need. I suspect I'm missing something somewhere...

I play a web based game that uses a standard map with coordinates and several different terrains. I am trying to make a program that will help me to keep track of what terrain is at a location and where players are.

So far, I have successfully logged in using IE.au3 and can navigate around the game fairly well. However, I am having trouble parsing out the information I need from the web pages...

I have pulled the HTML body of a web page using _IEBodyReadHTML ($oIE), which returns the entire web page.

Since the page I am loading has several different versions (depending on terrain or player base), I need to determine which version of the page I'm at before - however they can move around depending on the content of the page.

How can a search for a word in the string and get it's location, so that I can pull out the information after it.

For example:

</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td bgcolor="#FEE990" style="border: 1px solid #008EFF">

Strength: 2<br>
Fortification: 3<br>
Stealth: 3<br>
Security: 0<br>
<br>
Oil: 8272<br>
Cash: A 4.5<br>
<br>
Driller: 3<br>
Digger: 3<br>
<br>
Islands: 0<br>
Sharks: 1<br>
Thieves: 2

</td>

I would need to search the string for each of these stats, then pull the number out after the stat.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How about look in the helpfile under

"StringInStr"

Thanks SmOke_N, the link you posted lead me to the StringRegEXP tutorial, which I think is putting me on the right track.

How about look in the helpfile under

"StringInStr"

Paulie - The StringInStr does not give the position of the text you are looking for, it just tells you if it's there. Since I wanted to get the location and terrain type out of the page - using StringInStr would not work as it does not allow for extraction of data.
