How to choose from Collection Object


Recommended Posts

Hi!

I'm fairly new at all this, so I was hoping you could help a n00b out!

I'm trying to copy paste an url into an excel sheet, here is where it goes wrong:

$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection ($oIE)

$url=$oLinks.href

_ExcelWriteCell ($Cleansheet, $url, "D4")

How do I specify which one of the $oLinks collection I want to be $url??

Many Thanks!!

Look at the help file example for _IELinkGetCollection.

You need a For...In...Next loop to step through each link in the collection.

So i have to make some sort of loop?

I've had some problems with that with other scripts. Could someone please explain a little bit how this is done with this example? Then Ill know once and for all..

Thanks!

In order to reference the values in a collection, you have to use a For...In...Next loop.

If you have multiple links but only want a single one, you'll have to add your own conditions.

Taken straight from the help file example for _IELinkGetCollection:

For $oLink In $oLinks
     MsgBox(0, "Link Info", $oLink.href)
Next
Put whatever conditions in that you need in, and swap out the MsgBox with _ExcelWriteCell.

Ok ok Thanks!

It helped a little bit, and i'm a bit clearer on arrays and the use of them. Still I have no succes, this is how far I got:

$oExcel = _ExcelBookOpen("C:\Documents and Settings\Q\Desktop\Projects\Sheets\KlantNummers.xls",1,True)

$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.google.nl")

$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection ($oIE)

$iNumLinks = @extended

MsgBox(0, "Link Info", $iNumLinks & " links found")

For $oLink In $oLinks

_ExcelWriteCell ($Cleansheet,$oLinks, "D4")

Next

This code writes the first one to cell D4. Last thing I need now is to be able to chose by index number wich URL is written.

Once again I apologize for being an ultimate n00b! >_< Thanks in advance!!

I'm not sure of a way to reference a link directly by index (Like you can with an array). Perhaps someone who does can chime in.

This should work, though:

Local $iLinkIndex = 7 ; Change this to the index you want
Local $iCurrentIndex = 0
For $oLink In $oLinks
    $iCurrentIndex += 1
    If $iCurrentIndex = $iLinkIndex Then
        _ExcelWriteCell ($Cleansheet,$oLink.href, "D4")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

_IELinkGetCollection has an optional index parameter that does just that.

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?

I don't know how I missed that! I need to follow my own advice.

I even looked at the source for IEBuilder to see how it got the link indexes.

(Granted, it loops through them all so that it can display them all)

Thanks again, Dale.
