spyrorocks Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) Hello. I need some help. i am grabbing some html from a website but when it returns it it replaces some special accented characters with html equilivents, like & # 3 9 ; (spaces added to make it show) for example. does anyone know of a function that i can use that would allow me to turn them back into regular letters? edit: edit: crap.

If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyrorocks Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 Yeah i guess. does stringreplace() accept arrays as the search and replace variables? because if it dont then this could be a pain to do because there are soo many special character codes.

Im was just wondeing cuz i never used an array with stringreplace() before, and some functions accept an array.That doesn't really make any sense, but ok. This might start it off, there are obviously more, but you can take the time to put all of them in there.Func _HTMLReplace($sString) Local $aReplace[5] = ['', '"', '&', '<', '>'] Local $aEntity[5] = ['', '"', '&', '<', '>'] Local $aDecimal[5] = ['', '"', '&', '<', '>'] Local $aHex[5] = ['', '"', '&', '<', '>'] For $iCC = 1 To UBound($aReplace) - 1 $sString = StringReplace($sString, $aEntity[$iCC], $aReplace[$iCC]) $sString = StringReplace($sString, $aDecimal[$iCC], $aReplace[$iCC]) $sString = StringReplace($sString, $aHex[$iCC], $aReplace[$iCC]) Next Return $sString EndFunc Edit: Dammit, code tags are converting some of the chars... I'll upload the example. HTMLReplace.au3.txt Edited September 12, 2006 by SmOke_N Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt...
