_IELinkGetCollection Alternative?

[DeeRiee]

Hello, I have a newbie question... >_<

Is there another way to get links from web page without _IELinkGetCollection?

(Alternative way to get links from web page besides _IELinkGetCollection)

Thanks before...

Sorry for bad english

[ThomasQ]

There probably is, but I, as a n00b, have been using the _IELinkGetCollection command.. What problem do you run into while using that one?

This should get the text links.

;
#include<inet.au3>
#include<array.au3> ;; For testing with _ArrayDisplay() only
$sSrc = _InetGetSource("http://www.somesite.com")
$aLinks = StringRegExp($sSrc,"(?i)href=\x22(.+\..*)\x22.*>.+</a>", 3)
_ArrayDisplay($aLinks, "Links")
;

Edit: Oooops Code fix

Doesnt work for some links >_<

[Juvigy]

$oIE = _IECreate("sitename")
        $oDoc = _IEDocGetObj($oIE) 
        $oArray = $oDoc.getElementsByTagName ("a")

This should get you all the "a" tags (a hrev).

I need _IELinkGetCollection alternative because i dont want to use _IECreate in my script... >_<

[Juvigy]

I see . What about _IEAtach?

[GEOSoft]

What is your reason for not wanting to use the IE.au3 UDF? It works well.

And what links did the RegExp miss?

No, i dont wanna use _IE

I'm using _IECreate in invisible mode, and I have some problem when i'm using _IEQuit, sometimes iexplore.exe process still exist...

Sorry about regexp, it works well, just my fault... >_<

Thanks

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = ObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application")
$oIE.Visible = True
$oIE.Navigate("http://www.google.com")
_IELoadWait($oIE)

$aLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)

For $aLink In $aLinks
    ConsoleWrite($aLink.href & @CR)
Next

$oIE.Quit
$oIE = ""
