_IELinkGetCollection Question

[GWmellon]

I want to get a random link out of a _IELinkGetCollection.

This is the code so far:

$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection ($oIE);get all the links in the page
 $iNumLinks = @extended; count 'em
 $getalink =Random(1,$iNumlinks,1)

Then what? I had thought that $oLinks was an array but it does not seem to be.

A collection is similar to an array, but not the same.

Another call to _IELinkGetCollection using a random index as the second parameter should get you what you want. Just remember that the index is 0-based (just like AutoIt arrays) to it goes from 0 to $iNumLinks - 1
