InetGet Question

[Herb191]

I have written a small script that utilizes the InetGet function. It works great with one exception, sometimes when it saves the html file to my computer it saves the web page that loads before the one I need. It usually says something like please while this page is loading. Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Thanks!

If you make use of the IE.au3 tools available in Autoit 3.2.+++

it has a load-wait built in for this type of scenario

Apparently I'm not using the right syntax for the _IELoadWait could you give me an example of how you would use it to download an html?

you might want to post the URL link so that other can work with it...

An example of one of the links is http://isbn.nu/0345483545

The last number changes depending on what IBSN I am looking for. Sometimes it will go right to the page I need and other times I will get the Please wait We're still waiting for a response from 5 bookstores...

So the code right now looks something like this:

$IBSNNumber = (0345483545)

#include <IE.au3>

InetGet("http://isbn.nu/" & $IBSNNumber, "C:\barcode.html", 1, 0)

Just by way of testing several IBSN numbers, I chopped of the last two digits from the ISBN in your post and made a sample script that loops thru several ISBN numbers. The Do/Until loop will not quit trying until it gets some page other than the "waiting one" that you mentioned.

Global $i

For $i = 10 To 45
    _GetIt("03454835" & $i)
Next

Func _GetIt($IBSNNumber)
    Do
        InetGet("[url="http://isbn.nu/"]http://isbn.nu/[/url]" & _
                $IBSNNumber, "barcode" & $i & _
                ".html", 1, 0)
    Until Not StringInStr(FileRead("barcode" & _
            $i & ".html"), "still waiting for a response from")
EndFunc   ;==>_GetIt

There is probably a better way to do this, but this worked everytime for me.
