Read it all into a string, then pull out what you want with StringRegExp(), or using other string manipulation functions like StringInStr() and StringMid().

[Regency]

$read = _IEBodyReadText($Test)
$string = _StringBetween($read,""",""","")
MsgBox('','',$string)

this was my idea...

but i keep getting zeor, as it saying the data isnt processing..

anyone got any ideas on why?

EDIT:

It wont always be saloonsprince it changes in time, i just need it to read between the " " maybe thats better explination?

You specified text between "," and NUL. Perhaps you meant _StringBetween($read, '"', '"'). Note the double quotes are enclosed in single quotes. You can specify a literal double quote by doubling it up inside the outer quotes, but that results in four double quotes in a row, like this: _StringBetween($read, """", """").

Just looking for anything between double quotes is pretty broad, and you are likely to get more hits than you want.

Well, actually the thing i posted before is from the source and is the only thing on the page. which what you told me to do only made my text empty,as i would think that means it getting nothing when looking inbetween the "".

Correct?

Correct?

I think you missed that _StringBetween() returns an array. Your result is in $string[0].

I aint gunna lie, i am so lost.. i cant make this work even with the addition of the [0] it now throws a error

#include<ie.au3>
#Include <String.au3>
Global $string[0]
$Test = _IECreate("",0,1,1,0)
_ieloadwait($test)
$read = _IEBodyReadText($Test)
$string[0] = _StringBetween($read,'"','"')
MsgBox('','',$string[0])oÝ÷ ÚØZ¶Ì!jØ ¢Öî¶+dyêmº0xzºè¬@ÈM«­¢+Ø¥¹±Õ±Ðí¥¹ÔÌÐì(%¹±Õ±ÐíMÑÉ¥¹¹ÔÌÐì((ÀÌØíQÍÐô}%

You're misunderstanding how an array works.
