_IE Functions [SOLVED]

[ken82m]

This is my first time using the IE commands.

Does anyone see anything wrong with this code?

The page loads fine and I set the _IECreate command to wait for the page to load.

The _IEReadText returns 0 but the @error is 0. _IEReadHTML returned the same.

I do have IE8 but I compiled it and ran it on my desktop (IE7) and got the same result.

Thanks,

Kenny

#include <IE.au3>
#RequireAdmin

$IEObject = _IECreate("http://www.demonoid.com", 0, 1, 1, 0)

If $IEObject = 0 Then
   MsgBox(4096, "Demonoid Check", "Could not connect to Demonoid.com")
   Exit
EndIf

$IEBody = _IEBodyReadText($IEObject)
$IEBodyError = @error

If $IEBody = 0 Then
   MsgBox(4096, "Demonoid Check", "Errory reading body text" & @CR & "@error: " & $IEBodyError)
   Exit
EndIf

MsgBox(4096, "Demonoid Check", $IEBody)

Try (UPDATED 4:40)

#include <IE.au3>
#RequireAdmin
$IEObject = _IECreate("http://www.demonoid.com", 0, 1, 1, 0)


If $IEObject = 0 Then
   MsgBox(4096, "Demonoid Check", "Could not connect to Demonoid.com")
   Exit
EndIf

$IEBody = _IEBodyReadText($IEObject)
$IEBodyError = @error

If $IEBody = "" Then
   MsgBox(4096, "Demonoid Check", "Errory reading body text" & @CR & "@error: " & $IEBodyError)
  Else
      MsgBox(4096, "Demonoid Check", $IEBody)
EndIf

If it reads nothing on the page it will error, else it will display the text in the messagebox.

That did it. I don't see anything different except the the last parm on the IECreate and you moved the message box.

Strange, no idea why that If statement won't work. I just changed it to

If StringLen($IEBody) < 5 Then

What the hell I only need it for a few days lol

Your problem is doing a numeric compare with a string: If $IEBody = 0 Then

The string is converted to a number for the compare, and since it contains non-numeric text characters it is converted to 0. So you get a compare of 0 = 0.

Klexen changed it to: If $IEBody = "" Then

Although AutoIt is pretty loose with variable types, they do still matter.
