Ram Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) Hi, I am doing a small project where I have to enter some data to a text box in a website using the Internet explorer and I click submit which generates a list of data in a new page. Now I want to get a particular text from the generated list in new page. Is this possible if so How do I go about doing it? As of now my script enters data and clicks the submit button to get the list of data in a new page. I have to do the get text part. To make it easier I have attached jpg to show what needs to be extracted from the website. Can anyone let me know how do I go about doing this? Awaitng your response!

DaleHohm Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Could be Frames involved... try _IEDocReadHTML($oIE) instead and it will shoulw you the full source. If there are Frames, then you'll need to learn about _IEFrameGetObjByName as well.

So I did it this way $oFrame = _IEFrameGetObjByName ($oIE, "matching") $sText = _IEBodyReadText($oFrame) MsgBox(0, "Body Text", $sText) I got the whole page in the message box but how do I pick a particular word from the object created?

DaleHohm Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Good. So now you need to parse your string to pull what you want. There are many ways to do this, but start with StringInStr to find it and StringMid to pull it out.

Here is what I did.. $oFrame = _IEFrameGetObjByName ($oIE, "matching") $sText = _IEBodyReadText($oFrame) $var4 = StringMid($sText, 8751, 2) MsgBox (0, "0", $var4) The above code is suitable for one single data but when I'm using for different set of data the value that I'm getting to the message box is not in the same position. So I get blank space or different charecter in the msgbox. So what should I do with regards to this scenario... Is it possible to find particular string and then use stringMid? If so how do I go about doing? Awaiting your response! Edited August 20, 2007 by Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Yes, as I mentioned in the previous reply "StringInStr to find it and StringMid to pull it out" Dale Oops sorry Dale.. I thought I had put the script that I tried. $oFrame = _IEFrameGetObjByName ($oIE, "matching") $sText = _IEBodyReadText($oFrame) $a = StringInStr($sText, "Marks") MsgBox (0,"0",$a);-- This comes out with a value where ever the particular text is situated. Sleep (900) $var = StringMid("$a", 2, 2) MsgBox (0,"0",$var);-- Doesn't give the right message? Is there anything that I have missed? Let me know.. Thanks Dale!
