Ar yu positive this is it?

I am looking and thinking about it and i dont think this is it. How would i check and compare

There is <span id="ctl00_MainPageContent_lblHandgunFMJStock" style="font-weight:bold;">0</span> Handgun FMJ left.

I need to check to see i that "0" goes up to anything. Like i would say

if bla blah > 0 then

the bla blah would be th compare f the strig i posted above.. any help?

$result = _StringBetween ('<span id="ctl00_MainPageContent_lblHandgunFMJStock" style="font-weight:bold;">0</span>', '<span id="ctl00_MainPageContent_lblHandgunFMJStock" style="font-weight:bold;">', '</span>')

It would probably be more reliable to use the IE functions to get the value by id.

How would you do the get value by id?

[weaponx]

#include <IE.au3>
;$oIE  = _IE_Example ("basic")
$oIE = _IECreate ("www.yourwebsite.com")
$oDiv = _IEGetObjById  ($oIE, "ctl00_MainPageContent_lblHandgunFMJStock")
ConsoleWrite(_IEPropertyGet($oDiv, "innertext") & @CR)

What does consolewrite do?

What does consolewrite do?

It dumps the value you are trying to get to the SciTe console.

[Regency]

So, by writting it to the consle i can compare it?

This is what you said in your first post:

You can do whatever you want with the output work with me here man:

$variable = _IEPropertyGet($oDiv, "innertext")

MsgBox(0,"", $variable)

If $variable = 666 Then....

lol i am trying to work with you, but i dont understand... And the first post was for the function i couldnt find not the one you offered there is another one)

#include <IE.au3>
#include <string.au3>
$BF = _IECreate("http://www.tmnx.net/Authenticated/bulletfactory.aspx",0,1,1,0)
_IELoadWait($BF)
$oDiv = _IEGetObjById ($BF, "ctl00_MainPageContent_lblHandgunFMJStock")
ConsoleWrite(_IEPropertyGet($oDiv, "innertext") & @CR)
$variable = _IEPropertyGet($oDiv, "innertext")
If $variable > 0 Then
    while 1
        sleep(100)
    MsgBox(0,"Sniper FMJ", "G Buy Some")
WEnd
endif

This iswat i got.. kina like you explained,, but all it does it exits...i goes through it all guess but exits

When I search for Mafia Network in this forum I find six different topics started by you. I see heavy use of IE functions, did you not write any of that yourself?

[Regency]

Are you saying i am retarded? sorry i dont know how to do this

I haven't said you were retarded. The link in your last post requires a login so your script is failing since it isn't actually logged in. You might be better off using _IEAttach to connect to an already open IE window that is logged in.

[Regency]

No, i am already loggd in. It isnt reading correctly.

And i dont know how to work this functon and as you said, there is alot of topics. I need lot of help with my scripts, hence me asking on the forums alot....

You are experiencing the same thing as this guy:

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=70624

Just because you have an Internet Explorer window open with the game logged in doesn't mean the script has access to the same page. These are two seperate sessions. You will need to add the functionality to the script to login or use _IEAttach instead of _IECreate to access the page.
