StringInStr sometimes fails

[Bert 1,441]

I have a script that doesn't work the same way everytime. I'm doing this:

$pagechk1 = _IEDocReadHTML($oIE)

$sIs1 = StringInStr($pagechk1,">Log In</A>")

The HTML string I'm reading (excerpt)

<BR> &nbsp; <FONT COLOR=red> &nbsp; You must be logged in to use the MyDocuments agent.</FONT><br>
<BR> &nbsp; Click here to log in: <A HREF="/xxxxxxxxxx.nsf/Report?OpenForm&mydocuments&login">Log In</A><HR>

I'm having it read the same page everytime. Most of the time $sIs1 reports a location of ">Log In</A>" . Sometimes it says it can't find the string and reports "0". I can have it read $pagechk1 again, and then it finds it like it should. I'm wondering if the space in the search string is messing it up. Can anyone reproduce it with the data I'm providing?

Did you try putting some error control after $pagechk1 = _IEDocReadHTML($oIE)??

Like StringLen() or check for @ERROR???

The data you provided is when it fails or is that how it looks when it works ?

Would be interested to see the content of $pagechk1 when it fails.

Why not just :

$sIs1 = StringInStr($pagechk1,"Log In")

-or-

$sIs1 = StringRegExp($pagechk1,"Log In",0)

Good question. I put a msgbox with the $pagechk1 in it to see what was there when it failed. I could see the thing I needed to find, so I'm confused as to why it did not find it.
