Alternative to _IECreate?


Recommended Posts

I am using the function _IECreate to call a URL. Once IE is given the URL string it automatically is redirected to the site's local application. Then later in my script I kill the open IE session/window.

Is there a way to send the same URL that will spawn the site's local application without the overhead of opening IE each time? Ultimately I could have 30 of these calls and opening & closing IE sessions each time is extra overhead.

You can load the url using InetGet, and parse the html code and find the redirection url,the InetGet the real one.

The site may not allow "deep linking" directly to the app without going through the first page.

At any rate, why Open/Close IE? Just hide or minimize it when not in use, and _IENavigate() to the page when required. You don't have to close/open each time.

I will dig out the help file information on "InetGet" and see what I can learn. Your comment of "parse the html code" intriques me because I think that's what I ultimately need to do.

Prior to calling the URL that launches an application I have to call a URL that gives me several lines of text back one being the cookie code. The line for it is something like <cookie>stringIneedhere<cookie>.

I need that "cookie string" to build the final URL that I am calling.

Can you point me to any examples of the InetGet and parsing the results?
