String

[will88]

Which string function do I use to do this?

$IE = _IECreate($url,0,1,1)
$Text = _IEBodyReadHTML($IE)

href="/phpfile?s=randomletters"

I want to get the letters where it says randomletters and the randomletters won't always be the same length, but the randomletters always end with " at the end.

I've tried a bunch of string functions, but I can't seem to find one that works.

Stupid question, forgive me if it make no sense... Does the "/phpfile?s=" part remain the same?

yeah "href="/phpfile?s=" will always be the same

Also im reading from an html page, so I can't use StringMid() as far as I know, because href="/phpfile?s=randomletters" isn't the only thing on the page, it may be on a differen't line sometimes or different positon on the lines

I didn't bother to check some combination like alphanumeric random key or it's always numeric ?

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Dim $sText, $sPattern = '[0-9]*'

$sText = '<>,o,o<><,,href.,,,.,0^^"/phpfile?s=123123" a'

Dim $pos = StringInStr($sText, '"/phpfile?s=')
Dim $sRand = StringRegExp($sText, $sPattern, 1, $pos+StringLen('"/phpfile?s='))

MsgBox(0x10, 'title', $sRand[0])

sorry letters not numbers, ill try editing that and seeing if I can get it to work

Thanks

It's quite the same just change the string test and the pattern - pattern should be (I believe) '(?i)[a-z]*'

here you go, grabs al characters from a to z

$aRand = StringRegExp('href="/phpfile?s=randomletters"', "(?i)\?s=([a-z]+)", 3) ; "\?s=([^\x22&]+)" to grab everything up to the first " or &
If Not IsArray($aRand) Then Exit -1
; The random letters are now stored in $aRand[0]
ConsoleWrite("Random letters: " & $aRand[0] & @CRLF)
