Func UpdateMETAR()
    If TimerDiff($Last_METAR_Update) > 60000 Then
        ConsoleWrite("METAR")
        $File_KPIE_METAR = _INetGetSource("http://adds.aviationweather.gov/metars/index.php")
        $KPIE_METAR_Array = _StringBetween($File_KPIE_METAR, "KPIE", "<")
        If $KPIE_METAR_Array <> 0 Then

I've done stuff like this with PHP sites before, usually you have to just follow through all the links until you get to the one you want, but the site

http://adds.aviationweather.gov/metars/

gets up the same page?

It would be so much easier to just use all the IE functions, just make the window invisible you dont want it to show, because then you can get the component names on the form and the like..

The text box you want to put KPIE in is called: station_ids

and the submit button is called: submitmet

@furrycow great idea! never thought about making IE invisable ill have to try it ty

[oMBRa]

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://adds.aviationweather.gov/metars/index.php", 0, 0)
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "textForm")
$oQuery = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "station_ids")
_IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery, "KPIE")
_IEFormSubmit ($oForm)

$Text = _IEBodyReadText($oIE)
MsgBox(0, '', StringMid($Text, StringInStr($Text, "KPIE")))
