Few questions

[muhmuuh]

Hi!

I've been working on this all day and all night and it's not working as I want and I fell like trowing my computer out of the window.

Q1: Is there a beeter way to read a txt from the network

The txt file i only one line long and contains url adress

I have come up with

Func geturlopen()
    $IE = _IECreate ("http://......./open.txt", 0, 0, 1, -1)
    $sText = _IEBodyReadText ($IE)
    _IEQuit($IE)
    return $sText
EndFunc

because FileOpen() and FileRead() didn't work.

Q2: How to open a new IE behind all other windows

Here is what I've got but sometimes it doesn't work properly and I'm sure that there is a better way

Func urlopen($url)
    AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
    $title = WinGetTitle("")
    $oIE = _IECreate ($url, 0, 1, 0, -1)
    WinSetState($oIE, "", @SW_HIDE)
    WinSetState("Internet Explorer", "", @SW_SHOWMINIMIZED)
    AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 1)
    WinActivate($title)
    WinWaitActive($title)
    AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
EndFunc

Q3: Make this work

ok I have $time that gets is value from function very similar to geturlopen().

I want every $time minutes to call urlopen(geturlopen())

Also I want every sec to check if there is open a IE with specific url and close it.

Here is what I've got

while 1
    $j+=1
    if $j==60 Then
        $j=0
        $k+=1
    EndIf
    $urlopen = geturlopen()
    $urlclose = geturlclose()
    if $k==$time then 
        urlopen($urlopen)
        $k=0
    EndIf

Now I used two different otions for closing the IE with specific url

This is what I wrote initially (with little help from PsaltyDS)

$var = WinList("Internet Explorer")
For $i = 1 to $var[0][0]
    $iee = _IEAttach($var[$i][1], "HWND")
    $aa = _IEPropertyGet ($iee, "locationurl")
    if StringInStr($aa, $urlclose)<>0 Then  
        _IEQuit ($iee)
    EndIf
Next

but this doesn't work properly for IE 7 where there are many tabs. It also didn't work properly onother IE versions so I replaced it with what DaleHolum wrote

$o_Shell = ObjCreate("Shell.Application")
    $ies = $o_Shell.Windows (); collection of all ShellWindows (IE and File Explorer)

    _IEErrorHandlerRegister(); error will occur for File Explorer windows... allow ignore
    _IEErrorNotify(FALSE); suppress console error display

    For $ie In $ies
        $aa = _IEPropertyGet ( $ie, "locationurl" )
        If @error then ContinueLoop
            if StringInStr($aa, $urlclose)<>0 Then  
                _IEQuit ($ie)
        EndIf
    Next

The rest is just simple

Sleep(1000)
HotKeySet("^s", "Stop")
WEnd

Even with the DaleHolum code it doesn't work properly. Sometimes it gives me errors like

--> IE.au3 V2.3-1 Warning from function _IEAttach, $_IEStatus_NoMatch
--> IE.au3 V2.3-1 Error from function _IEPropertyGet, $_IEStatus_InvalidDataType

sometimes there is a error from _IECrate

but I think they come from my fnctions, not from his part

Also sometimes it closes window that shouldn't be closed, it changes active windows...

I think it will work ok if geturlopen() and urlopen() are fixed.

Please, help me make it work

Thank you for your time

Q1: Look at InetGet()

I hope this helps. I'm not sure about the other ones.

Thanks BananaFredSoft, that made it simpler.

Any ideas on Q2 and Q3?

Thanks BananaFredSoft, that made it simpler.

Any ideas on Q2 and Q3?

Q2:

$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.google.com", 0, 0)

The first zero tells it not to attach, the second tells it not to show the window.
