shaitand Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I would like to use TRUE random numbers via a url at: http://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&...ain&rnd=newAs you can see by going to the url, it returns just the number in plain text format.Is there a simple way to extract this number and use it as an integer in autoitv3?

exodius Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 So the Random function's not good enough huh?1. You can use INetGet to download that page to a txt file, then read it in using _FileReadToArray...2. Or use _IECreate and then _IEDocReadHTML to get the txt value.

MrMitchell Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I read it this way: InetGet("http://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&min=766&max=3269&col=1&base=10&format=plain&rnd=new", @ScriptDir & "\RandomNumber.txt", 1, 0) $number = Int(FileReadLine(@ScriptDir & "\RandomNumber.txt", 1)) The value returned isn't an integer so I wonder is that the right way to convert it to one?

DaleHohm Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Here is another way using XMLHttpRequest (aka Ajax): $sURL = "http://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&min=766&max=3269&col=1&base=10&format=plain&rnd=new" $oXHR = ObjCreate("MSXml2.XMLHTTP") $oXHR.open("GET", $sURL, False) $oXHR.send() $iRandom = $oXHR.responseText Dale Free Internet Tools: DebugBar, AutoIt IE Builder, HTTP UDF, MODIV2, IE Developer Toolbar, IEDocMon, Fiddler, HTML Validator, WGet, curl MSDN docs: InternetExplorer Object, Document Object, Overviews and Tutorials, DHTML Objects, DHTML Events, WinHttpRequest, XmlHttpRequest, Cross-Frame Scripting, Office object model Automate input type=file (Related) Alternative to _IECreateEmbedded? better: _IECreatePseudoEmbedded Better Better? IE.au3 issues with Vista - Workarounds SciTe Debug mode - it's magic: #AutoIt3Wrapper_run_debug_mode=Y Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

Soru Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 You could try this:#include <HTTP.au3> $host = "www.random.org" _HTTPConnect($host) _HTTPGet($host, "/integers/?num=1&min=766&max=3269&col=1&base=10&format=plain&rnd=new") $number = _HTTPRead() _HTTPClose() ConsoleWrite($number)The HTTP Udf can be found here [b][/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaitand Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 I don't just get answers. I get multiple flavors! I tried the InetGet method and the Ajax method. Your int typecasting seemed to work because i can use it as an integer value for the delay in the sleep function. I went with the Ajax solution simply because the ajax method appears to be loading the text into memory from the start and the others have an obvious above the hood system call either for an include or to read a temp file. Who knows what that Ajax is really doing under the hood though. Anyway thanks for the quick and helpful responses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jafuuu Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) $x = Random(1, 10000, 1) Send($x) This will send a Random numer from 1 to 100000 without decimals, Is not enough? Edited August 1, 2009 by jafuuu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
