IE.au3 - While This Link Exists

[litlmike]

I am trying to run a function While a Link with the Text "Next" exists, and completes 1 more time when that Link does not exists. The script should run so long as a there is a Link titled "Next" on the page, plus 1 more revolution.

Scenario:

1) Go to a webpage

2) Grab data from webpage

3) Click "Next"

4) Grab data from the new (Next) webpage

5) The last page to grab data from will not have the Link "Next", the loop should run one more time.

Code I have so far:

While _IELinkClickByText ($oIE, "Next") = -1
    Get_Keywords()
    _IELinkClickByText ($oIE, "Next")
WEnd

Would this not work?

While Not @error
    Get_Keywords()  
    _IELinkClickByText ($oIE, "Next")
WEnd

While Not @error
    Get_Keywords()  
    _IELinkClickByText ($oIE, "Next")
WEnd

I like the approach, and it does get me past the needing one extra revolution, however it continually loops. Every time it loops on the last page, Scite produces this error, which makes no sense to me why the loop does not exit.

Correction! You were right the first time, I just noticed a typo. This is why you are the AutoIt MVP, and I am the struggling learner.

Thanks big_daddy!

At least you explained yourself and provided some code that in turn got you an answer.

Your Welcome!
