cypher175 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleHohm Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Look at _IELinkGetCollection and _IEPropertyGet, innertext 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?

Authenticity Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 The outer text or any part of the href? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypher175 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypher175 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 so is that the right way to do this or am i missing sumthing else..?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Authenticity Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
