Collect Text-Links From WebPage, Click Link if Text of link Matches a Variable..?

[cypher175]

in not sure how i should do this.. but i need to search a webpage for all its text links and if the textlink matches a specified text like "Click Me" or "Click Here" or "Click This" then i need to click which ever one of those links that it finds..

i was thinking something like using a switch but i wasn't sure what i would use for the <expression> though..??

Something like..

Switch $LinkText
        Case "Click Me" 
            _IELinkClickByText($IE, "Click Me", "", 0)
        Case "Click Here"
            _IELinkClickByText($IE, "Click Here","",0)
        Case "Click This"
            _IELinkClickByText($IE, "Click This","",0)
    EndSwitch

Look at _IELinkGetCollection and _IEPropertyGet, innertext

The outer text or any part of the href?

[cypher175]

so something like this then, or what..??

$GetLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($IE)
For $Link in $GetLinks
   $LinkText = _IEPropertyGet($Link, "outertext")
   Switch $LinkText
        Case "Click Me"
            _IELinkClickByText($IE, "Click Me", "", 0)
        Case "Click Here"
            _IELinkClickByText($IE, "Click Here","",0)
        Case "Click This"
            _IELinkClickByText($IE, "Click This","",0)
    EndSwitch
Next

so is that the right way to do this or am i missing sumthing else..??

I think Select...Case...EndSelect is more appropriate because you can specify just a part of the string instead of a full case-insensitive match. Like:

For $oLink In $oLinks
    $sOuterText = _IEPropertyGet($oLink, 'outertext')
    Select
         Case StringInStr($sOuterText, 'click me')
           ; ....
         Case StringInStr($sOuterText, 'click here')
           ; ....
    EndSelect
Next
