Objectvariable not usable after first if run

[SubZer0]

Hi there,

got the following code:

#include <IE.au3>

$IE = _IECreate("xxx")
$links = _IELinkGetCollection($IE)
$numlinks = @extended
For $link in $links
    if StringInStr($link.href,"fc.php") <> 0 Then
        $tan = StringRight($link.href,32)
        $url = StringFormat("xxx",$tan)
        _IENavigate($IE,$url)
    EndIf
Next

The run through the For loop works fine till when the first time the if statement is called. First time if statement works fine too but after the if statement has finished executing and the next for loop starts i am not able to access link.href (Displayed error: The requested action with this object has failed). Somebody knows why that is so?

Your variable $links is a collection object, containing pointers to the link objects (not actual copies of the links). When you execute _IENavigate() to a different page, all those objects become invalid. To do what you are trying (follow every link) you'll have to have a different $IE object for each one, or at least open a new tab for each (if IE7).
