Grabbing TEXT only from website

[DaleHohm]

If you are going to do a lot of work with IE.au3, please swith over to writing and running your scripts in SciTe (see the download page). IE.au3 writes a lot of warnings and errors to the console that will help you. Either that or you've got to start examining all of the return codes from your function calls (good practice anyway).

You need to start adding some basic error checking into your code until you understand it better. Check to see if $aTableData really "isArray", examine the values of $iMax and $jMax to see if they make sense, check the value of @extended after you call _IETableGetCollection to see how many tables really are on the page. Another hint is that you can examine $oTable.innerHTML or $oTable.innerText to see if you have the right one...

I do write it in SciTe

And when i put index as 4, it works but when i change it to soemthing else, it doesnt work

Another question does it always returns it in a 2-D array?

and how do you examine $oTable.innerHTML or $oTable.innerText ??

But are you running the script using Tools -> Go or F5? If you were I think you'd get your error message in the SciTe console instead of a popup. You'd then also get the IE.au3 console messages.

Yes, it is always a 2-D array. Please read the helpfile. Please go back and read my last reply. Please go off and work on your code for a while and try to answer your own questions. Come back when you have tried and are stumped and we'll help some more (and be prepared to show us the bruises on your forehead to prove that you really did try ).

Try this:

#include <IE.au3>

$sURL = "http://s7.travian.com/dorf1.php"
$oIE = _IECreate($sURL)
$oTable = _IETableGetCollection($oIE, 4)
$aTableData = _IETableWriteToArray($oTable)

For $i = 0 To UBound($aTableData) - 1
    For $y = 0 To UBound($aTableData, 2) - 1
        ConsoleWrite($aTableData[$i][$y] & @CRLF)
    Next
Next

it works but nothing really happens after i run it, what should it do?

If you are running script using SciTE, which you said you were, then look in the output pane for the values you were wanting.

what if i only want part of it not the whole table?

[big_daddy]

Something like this.

#include <IE.au3>

$sURL = "http://s7.travian.com/dorf1.php"
$oIE = _IECreate($sURL)
$oTable = _IETableGetCollection($oIE, 4)
$aTableData = _IETableWriteToArray($oTable)

For $i = 0 To UBound($aTableData, 2) - 1
    ConsoleWrite($aTableData[2][$i] & @CRLF)
Next

oh i get it now, thanks

[d0n]

if a text is say, 400/6000, how do i cut it up? if i only want 6000 part

Another question i have is:

I have another table, i've got the whole thing but when the message comes up it displays extra info

This is the source of the table

<td><b>6300</b> Resource units</td>

This is my code

#include <IE.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$sURL = "http://s7.travian.com/dorf2.php"
$oIE = _IECreate($sURL, 0, 0)
_IENavigate ($oIE, "http://s7.travian.com/build.php?id=20")
$oTable = _IETableGetCollection($oIE, 3)
$aTableData = _IETableWriteToArray($oTable)

MsgBox(4096, "TEST", $aTableData[1][0])

the out come of that is, 6300 Resource units, where i only want 6300.

You're really asking to be spoon fed here... I'm afraid this piece of advice got lost in the flurry of questions five minutes apart...

how am i being spood fed? this is a whole different question than the one before. I am trying to split a string which i have no clue how, i am through the tables/array part

[DaleHohm]

Spend a few minutes with the helpfile before you ask for someone else's help.

Use the search tab in the helpfile and enter "split string" - you shouldn't be shocked at what you find there.
