Saytun Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Ok, so I am making a very simple program which opens up a website, enters in a number, and records the website's response in a text file.I am using the '_IEBodyReadText' function to get the info on the page, but I only need a small portion of the text and not the whole thing. Currently I am storing the body text to the variable $sText, which ends up looking something like this after the program is ran:LoginMylist -0Help*THIS IS THE DATA I WANT TO KEEP RIGHT HERE*SearchMyAccountHomeand it goes on and on for quite a while. Everything on the page is consistent, except for the data that I want to keep, so is there a good way to filter out everything except that data and store it to a new variable?Thanks a lot for the help, I've been searching through the help file for a while but I'm a novice.

Zedna Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 If you have constant text before and after your text then use _StringBetween() See helpfile/forum for details and examples... Resources UDF ResourcesEx UDF AutoIt Forum Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kurt Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Use string* functions. StringRegExp, _StringBetween, and StringSplit are my favorites. If you provide source, I (or someone) could probably retrieve the needed data. Kurt Awaiting Diablo III.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saytun Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Thank you, _StringBetween was exactly what I needed. My script is working amazingly well, thanks for the help. <3 AutoIt, saves me tens of hours of otherwise manual work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
