I'm trying to write a little script to grab lyrics, and everything is done except pulling the lyrics from the HTML....

I've stripped out all of the tags like <b>, <i>, <u>, etc, with string replace, and now I'm left with this:

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>REEL BIG FISH LYRICS - The Kids Don't Like It</TITLE>

<script LANGUAGE="javascript" src="http://images.azlyrics.com/head.js"></SCRIPT>

</HEAD>

<BODY bgcolor=#666699>

<TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH=728 bgcolor=#BBBBCC ALIGN=CENTER CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0>

<TR><TD align=center><script LANGUAGE="javascript" src="http://images.azlyrics.com/top_rock.js"></SCRIPT></td></tr>

<TR><TD>

<TABLE WIDTH=100% BORDER=0 bgcolor=#BBBBCC align=center cellpadding=2 cellspacing=2>

<TR><TD width=100% align=center valign=top>

<FONT Face=Verdana size=5>

REEL BIG FISH LYRICS

<FONT size=2>

"The Kids Don't Like It"

got some words, i don't know gonna sing'em

here i go wanna try not to be lame

wanna make you feel the same i just wanna be someone

don't you know we tried to

do something new

it may sound real good,

but i don't think we're

getting through because

the kids don't like it

had a hit, famous?, no

easy come, easy go, should be

happy with what i got,

should be happy but i'm not

i just wanna be someone

don't you know we tried to do

something it may sound real

good, but i don't think were

getting through

because the kids don't like it

i thought there'd come a day

when i'd run out of things to say

but now i know it's true no one

listens anyway and all we wanted

was to do somethin' new

it doesn't sound so good and

i don't think were

getting through because the

kids don't like it no they don't

like it at all, anymore

[ <a href="http://www.azlyrics.com">www.azlyrics.com</a> ]</font></font>

</td></tr>

</table>

</td></tr>

So I want to to get the part from "<FONT size=2>" to "[", so I used $lyrics = StringSplit($lyrics, "<FONT size=2>") and now $lyrics[0] = 511!!!! What the heck? The string only occurs once! It should equal 2!

Any ideas?

1. No bug with StringSplit() you need to look at the last parameter of it... (which you didn't add) 

StringSplit($lyrics, "<FONT size=2>", 1)oÝ÷ ØÚ-Ç­ê'yú+ºÈ§Ø^z{b­ë-®)àjËay×¥zg­z½¶¸§*eÚÞ¶êç±­[jÇ®¶²Ò%vËazÚ-jYî·«¡û)+l×bvz-jv¶æ¥zW¦z{oj[Ü(ºWn±ä­®)àëpyéÚºÚ"µÍÚ[ÛYH Ø^K]LÉÝÈÒÝÛÈHÛÌÎNÝ]HÈXZÙH^HÝÛÐ^QÜ^J

Example:

#include <array.au3>
#include <string.au3>
#include <inet.au3>
$sString = _INetGetSource("http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/reelbigfish/thekidsdontlikeit.html")
$sString = StringReplace($sString, '<br>', '')
$sString = StringReplace($sString, '<b>', '')
$sString = StringReplace($sString, '</b>', '')
$aArray = _StringBetween($sString, '\<FONT size\=2\>', '\[', -1, 1)
_ArrayDisplay($aArray, 'Lyrics')

_StringBetween? Never heard of that... Neither has my Scite or Autoit... is that in the newest version? Or a UDF I have to download?

Oh well, thanks for letting me know about needed the delimiter... I got it working. Thanks again.

You're not up to date with either SciTe or AutoIt then. It's in the released version 3.2.2.0 of AutoIt.

Yeah, I don't use that one, anyway, I want to use mulitple sites, and AZLyrics works, but the only trouble I have is that on lyricsondemand, instead of getting a line break in the edit box, I get a little square... but I can't use string replace, because when I paste the square into Scite, it becomes a line break... ideas?

No idea what you just said... And why don't you use 3.2.2.0...? It's the newest release.

I know what you mean, but I forgot the term to use to describe what to do. It's like using "&nbsp" to add a non-breaking space when you code HTML.

EDIT: What I was saying is probably wrong since I don't think line breaks are special characters.
