Question

[Sardith]

$Code = "48313"
$File = _TempFile()
INetGet("http://www.weather.com/weather/local/" & $Code, $File, -1, 0)
$Line = FileReadLine($File, 29)
$LineA = StringSplit($Line, "")
$Title = FileReadLine($File, 18)
;Get city and state name, 34 from left, 22 from the right
$CityNameA = StringTrimLeft($Title, 34)
$CityName = StringTrimRight($CityNameA, 22)
$Fahrenheit = $LineA[38] & $LineA[39] & " °F"; Temperature 38, 39

I have a question. I understand how 'INetGet' works, it saves the target webpage in html, to the destination of choice. What I don't understand, is how the FileReadline works; I do but, do you just guess and check? Like say like I want to read the wind speed, do I just guess line numbers or is there a html editor that would allow me to view lines or?

You could read the entire file to a string, then find the text right before it and after it. Thats how one of the IP UDFs works.

Thought about using the IE UDFs? they are in the help, you might not even have to download the html file then.

I thought i could break from doing this... guess not

@OP,

For future reference, when posting a thread , make its title remotely pertinent to question/subject you are posting about.

This is the support section of the forum, its meant for questions, so naming a thread "I Have A Problem", or "Question", or "Help Me, My Code Doesn't Work", or "Noob Requesting Assistance" Is redundant, and makes it harder for anyone else who has the same/similar questions as you to find the answer by searching the forums, which in turn means people often have to make extra threads and people who are answering the threads just end up repeating themselves several times over.

It is counter-productive.

Or _InetGetSource() + _StringBetween() in beta?

Smoke I took a look at _InetGetSource, thanks for the suggestion. Im searching for some examples of how to use it. Do you have any on hand?

It's pretty straight forward, use it just like FileRead() but for a URL as the file to read.
