Need help finding the last item in a search?

[eskay]

Im trying to click a link in a website.. The only problem is that its named "Reply" and each post on the forum has "Reply" in it. So the webpage has tons of "Reply" links but I want to click on the last one.

So how can I search and click the Last "Reply" link that is found?

Look at the _IE functions. Then see how you go about finding the links. The other part can come later

Here is an example...

#include <IE.au3>

$sURL = "http://www.msn.com/"
$sSearchText = "photo"

$oIE = _IECreate($sURL)
_IELinkClickLast($oIE, $sSearchText)
If @error Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "No links matched your search string.")
EndIf

Func _IELinkClickLast(ByRef $o_object, $s_SearchText)
    $o_Links = _IELinkGetCollection($o_object)
    $i_Count = @extended
    For $i = ($i_Count - 1) To 0 Step - 1
        $s_LinkText = String($o_Links.item($i).outerText)
        If StringInStr($s_LinkText, $s_SearchText) Then
            _IELinkClickByIndex($o_object, $i)
            Return 1
        EndIf
    Next
    Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
EndFunc   ;==>_IELinkClickLast
