I have a webpage that has a collection of hyperlinks. I need to get the list of links. To do that, I started with this, and it will display them in the console: (code found doing a search in the forum) (thanks Dale!)

$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection ($oIE)

$iNumLinks = @extended

For $oLink in $oLinks

ConsoleWrite(_IEPropertyGet($oLink, "innertext") & @CR)

Next

The report to the console is this, which is what I want to put into the array:

0
Name of home page
Help
00630383
00630442
00631654
00632038
00627526
00632520
00630998
00630363
00618712
00631318
http://xxxxxx/xxxxxxx
00599640
00621858
00630371
00618672
00627293 - 0002
00627308 - 0009
00629003 - 0001
00618672 - 0003
00621184 - 0002
00621184 - 0003
00621184 - 0004
00621184 - 0001
00627308-0005 - sub1

My question is, how do I get this list in a array? I tried this:

$d = _IEPropertyGet($oLink, "innertext")

$arr = StringSplit($d & @CR, @CR)

It reports 3 items, and the only one in the array that has what I want is the last one. Currently the webpage has over 20 links in it, and I need to get the ones that meet a certain criteria (Text name only has numbers in it, no letters) The amount of links is NOT a constant (changes at the drop of a hat), so I was trying to first get the collection, then put that list into a array. How do I get what is being put to the console into a array?

I suppose you could declare an array at the top of the script and then just do this:

For $oLink in $oLinks
ConsoleWrite(_IEPropertyGet($oLink, "innertext") & @CR)
_ArrayAdd($Array,_IEPropertyGet($oLink, "innertext") )
Next

Second question along the same lines - I'm making a webpage using autoit that will make a series of frames, and open the list I got. Can I get a example of getting a link collection from one page (3 links), then having each link be opened in a frame in a new page?

I have this, but it doesn't work:

dim $s_html
$s_html &= "<HTML>" & @CR
$s_html &= "<HEAD>" & @CR
$s_html &= "<TITLE>Service Request My Documents Expanded Report</TITLE>" & @CR
$s_html &= "<STYLE>body {font-family: Arial}</STYLE>" & @CR
$s_html &= "</HEAD>" & @CR
$s_html &= "<frameset rows='100%,100,100%'>"& @CR
$s_html &= "<frame name='1' src='about:blank' scrolling='yes'>"& @CR
$s_html &= "<frame name='2' src='about:blank' scrolling='yes'>"& @CR
$s_html &= "<frame name='3' src='about:blank' scrolling='yes'>"& @CR
$s_html &= "<noframes>" & @CR
$s_html &= "<BODY>"  & @CR
$s_html &= "</HTML>" & @CR
$s_html &="</noframes>" & @CR
$s_html &="</frameset>" & @CR
$s_html &= "</BODY>"
$ff = _IECreate("about:blank", 0)   
_IEDocWriteHTML($ff, $s_html)

$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
$p = 0
do
 for $oLink in $oLinks
    $sMyString = $Array[$p]
    $sLinkText = _IEPropertyGet($oLink, "innerText")
    If StringInStr($sLinkText, $sMyString) Then
        $oFrame = _IEFrameGetObjByName ($ff, "1")
        _IENavigate($oFrame, $oLink.href)
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
    $l = $l +1
 next   
until $l = 1

And "doesn't work" means what exactly? (see my sig)

Also, I can't run your code due to missing variables.

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

I'm closer to getting what I want. The only trouble I'm having now is 2 things:

1. I need to navigate the first frame I have made to the first item in my $links array

2. I need to come up with a method to make a number of frames depended on the number of links. If there are 4 links for example, then I will have 4 frames. Currently, I have 3 frames being made for testing.

#include <IE.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
;opens the page
$oIE = _IECreate("http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", 0, 1)
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
Global $Array[1], $links[1], $editlist[1]
$sMyString = "Log In"
For $oLink in $oLinks
    $sLinkText = _IEPropertyGet($oLink, "innerText")
    If StringInStr($sLinkText, $sMyString) Then
        _IEAction($oLink, "click")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection ($oIE)
$iNumLinks = @extended
For $oLink In $oLinks
    _ArrayAdd($Array,_IEPropertyGet($oLink, "innertext") )
    _ArrayAdd($links, $oLink.href)
    
Next
_ArrayDelete($Array,0)
_ArrayDelete($Array,0)
_ArrayDelete($Array,0)
_ArrayDelete($Array,0)
_ArrayDelete($links,0)
_ArrayDelete($links,0)
_ArrayDelete($links,0)
_ArrayDelete($links,0)
;got list of links from page with names to edit with. No need to change code from this point up. 
$iMax = UBound($array)
$iMax1 = UBound($links)
$p = 0
Do
    $str = StringIsDigit($Array[$p])
    $siS = StringInStr($Array[$p], "http:")
    $siS1 = StringInStr($Array[$p], " - ")
    if $str = 1 then 
        $p = $p +1
    Elseif $siS = 1 then         
            _ArrayDelete($Array,$p)
            _ArrayDelete($links,$p)
            $iMax = UBound($array)
            $iMax1 = UBound($links)
    Else        
        if $siS1 > 1 then 
            $p = $p +1
        Endif   
    endif
    $iMax = UBound($array)
    $iMax1 = UBound($links)

I figured out I needed to do a refresh to $ff after I write the html to get it to work. I'm still having trouble getting the frames to be the correct size. They keep sizing themselfs to the size of the screen in that I want to have the webpage be split so that I have a fill page per frame. If I try for 3 frames for example, it splits the viewing area into 3 secions, but does not resize the page to make it 3 times as big.

I hope I'm explaining this right
