Inverted Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I've made a script to quickly use tinyurl. It works, but I have some problems : 1) Can I avoid the question about permission to copy to the clipboard ? The site tries to copy to the clipboard and it pauses the whole thing. I know I could probably mess with my IE settings, but I want the script to work the same on all PCs without any extra work. So, can I set the options somehow ? 2) Can I make it to load faster ? Maybe somehow not loading images ? I started out trying to use POST method but failed miserably. After an hour of fumbling about I did some searches on the forum and got some useful info, like "read the IE documentation and the examples" That's why 'm doing it the loser's way with the hidden IE and clicking Here is my script : #include <IE.au3> #include <ClipBoard.au3> $ProgName = "TinyURL_Auto" $BigUrl = InputBox ($ProgName, "Enter url to send to tinyurl") $oIE = _IECreate ("http://tinyurl.com/",0,0) If $oIE=0 Then MsgBox (4096, $ProgName, "Couldn't open page, firewall ?") EndIf $submit_btn = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "submit",1) $url_box = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "url") _IEFormElementSetValue ($url_box, $BigUrl) $submit_btn.click _IELoadWait ($oIE) $sText = _IEBodyReadText ($oIE) $array = StringSplit ($sText,@CRLF,1) For $i = 1 to $array[0] If StringInStr ($array[$i],"http://tinyurl.com/") Then _ClipBoard_SetData ($array[$i]) MsgBox(0, $ProgName, "Copied to clipboard : "& @CRLF & @CRLF & $array[$i],3) Exit EndIf Next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Please wait 24 hours before bumping your post. 1) As far as I know it ClipPut works instantly. 2) Not that I am aware of.

Inverted Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 I don't mean my ClipPut, the site itself also tries to send to the clipboard, but IE gives a message to "allow/don't allow" And it pauses the execution ! Is there some way to set the options in my script to always allow/disallow it ? Or somehow avoid the warning ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
