[RESOLVED]_IELoadWait

[TehWhale]

I'm making a map downloader for Warcraft III. It starts to go to this webpage:

http://www.epicwar.com/maps/1/

I know how to do that, naviagate and blah, but how to click the link that says Download: mapname, I need it to get that shortcut. How?

In other words, navigate to a page like: http://www.epicwar.com/maps/1/ find the download link, get that link, then Inetget, then go to the next page http://www.epicwar.com/maps/2/ and so on. I just need to know what function(s) will get me that link that will be different on every page.

Thanks for all the help guys!

I actually need help with _IELoadWait() now.

Having one more issue Dale!

CODE$ReA = _IELoadWait($Hwnd, 0, 6000)
    If $ReA = 0 Then _IEAction($Hwnd, "refresh")

I have this in my script. Occassionally, some of the "ad's" wont load, so I was using this. It wont refresh IE though. I also tried, If @Error then _IE....I want it to reload the page after 6 seconds.

VERY raw outlook, I just happened to pass by and see this so here you go, although I don't really know what you mean by "get that text, then Inetget", but this should get you started.

Loop $i
   _IEAttach()
      if @error
           _IECreate()
      endif
   _IENavigate("http://www.epicwar.com/maps/" & $i & "/")
   _IELinkGetCollection ()
endloop
_IEQuit()

If you need more, I can try and help you later.

Did you read my first sentance, get the link for the download button!

[Champak]

I find it interesting that the first time I read the OP I didn't notice that...and your OP was edited AFTER I made my post. Anyway, you will still need _IELinkGetCollection () and probably _IETagNameGetCollection to determine a specific pattern that the download link falls in. You'll need firebug for firefox and whatever IE uses to see html markup.

EDIT: Then again I'm no expert in the IE functions, but I get by and can do what I need to.

Well I've never used _IE functions before at all. I am clueless.

And what is this supposted to mean?

"You'll need firebug for firefox and whatever IE uses to see html markup."

[Champak]

What browser are you using?

[TehWhale]

IE...That's why im using _IE functions.

[Champak]

Get this: http://www.debugbar.com/

......I personally recommend firefox and using the firebug plug-in, it doesn't matter if you are using IE functions.

I haven't used it, but look at this: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19368

You need to look at _IE_Introduction().

And what is that for and why do I need it?

This is very simple, on a page, just find a link with the name Download in it, and get the link. I didn't figure it would be this hard...

[TehWhale]

Lets try something easier. How do I click a link on a page that has "Download" in it?

Why do everytime I run a _IECreate with normal parameters, it will attach one, and then create another and the non-attached one will be blank, and I never told it to attach?

Last question: You're likely using Vista right? See the remarks in the helpfile for _IECreate.

Previous question: _IELinkClickByText($oIE, "Download")

Dale

[maxlarue]

use the DOM. you can't look in IE.au3 for some examples of DOM usage

Dim $pages[3] = ["www.1.com", "www.2.com", "www.3.com"]
$ie = _IECreate("about:blank")

For $page in $pages
     $ie.navigate($page)

    $elements = $ie.document.getElementsByTagName("a")
    for $element in $elements
        if isobj($element.firstChild) then 
             if $element.firstChild.outerText = "Download" then
                 $element.click()
                 ;....
               ;....
            endif
        endif
    Next
Next

This should put you on the right path. read up on the DOM , (in any language - javascript uses it alot) to get more comfortable with using it.

Thanks DaleHohm, read on that, so I disabled Protection Mode. Now how, since I located the download link, how can I get the link for later use to InetGet it? Thanks Dale!

[TehWhale]

Bump. Just to clarify what im looking for.

This program will start in a for/next loop like so:

$Hwnd = _IECreate()

For $i=1 To 60000

_IENavigate($Hwnd, "http://www.epicwar.com/maps/"&$i)

_IELoadWait($Hwnd)

(This step will be showed below)

InetGet($LinkLocation, @ProgramFilesDir & "\Warcraft III\Maps\Download\Map"&$i&".w3x")

Next

The: "This step will be shown below" is here.

I have already naviagated to this page:

And where there is a yellow oval around it, I need to get that path to the actual download so I can use InetGet afterwards. I check the link on each page because it will have "Download" in it, get the link, then InetGet().

Thank you for your help.

I hope I clarified enough.

[TehWhale]

I saw DaleHolm looking at this topic for 45 minutes, exciting and awaiting his response, but there wasn't a responce.

[TehWhale]

Still wondering if I could get help with this.

[DaleHohm]

Something like this:

$sLinkText = "the string in the link text"
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
For $oLink in $oLinks
    If String($oLink.outerText) = $sLinkText Then
        $sFile = $oLink.href
    EndIf
Next

Dale

[TehWhale]

Thanks DaleHolm. I did this as a test, and it's saying that there is no such thing as $sFile.

#include <IE.au3>
$Hwnd = _IECreate()
For $i = 1 To 5
    _IENavigate($Hwnd, "http://www.epicwar.com/maps/" & $i)
    _IELoadWait($Hwnd)
    $sLinkText = "Download"
    $oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($Hwnd)
    For $oLink In $oLinks
        If String($oLink.outerText) = $sLinkText Then
            $sFile = $oLink.href
        EndIf
    Next
    InetGet($sFile, @DesktopDir & "\" & $i & ".w3x")
Next

It gives me an error saying $sFile Undeclared variable.

Haha! Nevermind! Daleholm, you were using String! I need StringinStr! It works! Thanks so much DaleHolm!

A simple question that probably is very simple, but how would I change all: "%20" in text to a " " a space?

StringReplace()

Having one more issue Dale!

$ReA = _IELoadWait($Hwnd, 0, 6000)
