Internet Explorer Save Page

[mrdragon]

Okay, so I need to have autoit save a webpage for me 2x daily. I have the program written already and I have been using it for about 6 months as a scheduled task. I recently upgraded to IE7 and it seems to not want to save the page.

Here is the code I have been using that has recently stopped working:

;Run and open Internet Explorer to the site needed and saving.

; Run IE
Run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe [url=http://www.mysitename.com/foldername/filename.asp")]http://www.mysitename.com/foldername/filename.asp")[/url]

; We wait the webpage here
WinWaitActive("http://www.mysitename.com/foldername/filename.asp - Microsoft Internet Explorer")
Sleep(5000)


; Save it
Send("!f") 
Send("a")

$blah = InetGet("http://www.mysitename.com/foldername/filename.asp",@MyDocumentsDir & "\" & @year & "-" & @MON & "-" & @MDAY & "--" & @HOUR & @MIN & ".html")


; Now quit by pressing Alt-f and then x (File menu -> Exit)
Send("!f")
Send("x")

It seems to me that the upgrade to IE7 has stopped this particular function from working. The alt+f function still brings up the file menu and letter code for save page is still the same.

Does anyone have any suggestions that they can offer? Thank you.

How about something more simple

InetGet("http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/48822.html","48822.html",1,1)
While @InetGetActive
  TrayTip("Downloading", "Bytes = " & @InetGetBytesRead, 10, 16)
  Sleep(250)
Wend

FileMove(@ScriptDir & "\48822.html", @MyDocumentsDir & "\" & @year & "-" & @MON & "-" & @MDAY & "--" & @HOUR & @MIN & ".html")

I only started using AutoIT a few days back so may not be best solution

I might be really stupid here but if your code sample is correct it wont get past the wait.

WinWaitActive("http://www.mysitename.com/foldername/filename.asp - Microsoft Internet Explorer")

as IE v7 now has the title of "Windows Internet Explorer" easily overlooked but a pain as all scripts need recoding. Your wait would be.

WinWaitActive("http://www.mysitename.com/foldername/filename.asp - Windows Internet Explorer")

To get around this for future upgrades just

WinWaitActive("http://www.mysitename.com/foldername/filename.asp")

Also read help on WinTitleMatchMode as long as you have not changed it then the default does not need an exact title just matching it to the beginning

Hope this helps!

The IE functions would be very good at this....

#include <IE.au3>

$url = "www.mysitename.com/foldername/filename.asp"
$oIE = _IECreate($url, 1)
$oIE.document.execCommand ("SaveAs") ; or _IEAction($oIE, "saveas")
; then navigate to wherever you want to save it, then save it
$oIE.quit ; or _IEAction("quit")
