is this possible

[Symplystyc]

is it possible to use

_IELinkClickByText

with a list of text?

like if $list = list.txt

_IELinkClickByText ($oIE, "list.txt")

or something like that?

[Nahuel]

You mean you have a list of strings and you want to click them in an explorer one by one?

Then you should look at:

For..To..Next

_FileCountLines()

FileReadLine()

Something like that

  how about --  

   for $i = 1 to $num_list_items

           $result = _IElink.....($ie,$list_item[$i])

             if result is what we want , or if @error = 0 , or whatever, refer to the doc... then ExitLoop

   next

essentially, you iterate through your options.

Alternatively, you could make a really obnoxiously long if  statement out of it, or any number of other ways to skin the cat.

my fall back is the obnoxiously long if statement.

I assume $list_item[$i] reffers to the i'th item in the list but what is $ie ( nvm got this part)?

oh and i assume i have to have $list_item = something right?

let's say you have a list of items:

$item_list = "apple pear orange"

I can split these items into an array.

$item_list = StringSplit($item_list," ")

refer to the docs.

$ie is my way of referring to $oIE, refer to the _IE.... help file.

Remember, reading the helpfile doesn't just make you smarter, it makes you _look_ smarter!

thanks again, i've been reading through the various functions and running them to see what they do.

would this work for the item list

$list_item = FileReadLine ( "members.txt" [, $i] )

Id like to just edit a text file for the list instead of entering everyting in the au3 file.

one of my goals is to use _IELinkGetCollection to get a list of all the links on a page then to filter out all the links with the word userprofile into another list, this way I wouldnt have to manually add to a text file whenever a new link was added or removed.

after that I'd need to add a check for multiple pages.

also I"m having problems with _IEFormElementGetObjByName. I see how they did it with the google example but the page I'm looking at is written differently.

off to read some docs. feel free to post more suggestions.

$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection ($oIE)
$iNumLinks = @extended
For $oLink In $oLinks
    If StringInStr($oLink.herf,"http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=") Then FileWrite($handle,$oLink.herf & @CRLF)
Next

perfect thanks for this.

now I gotta look up what @extended means.
