How to filter the text stored in a variable?


Recommended Posts

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*

Search

MyAccount

Home

and 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.

Use string* functions. StringRegExp, _StringBetween, and StringSplit are my favorites. If you provide source, I (or someone) could probably retrieve the needed data.
