I second that about both which (albeit I'm French) and SQLite (I'm big fan). Just a note: SQLite is an embedded RDBMS, not a client-server design. You could possibly hit some issues if your context implies a serious load under multiple concurrent accesses over a network. This is due to remote file locking bugs in almost all common OSses. What you can do if your expected write concurrency is only minimal is develop your application using SQLite which is very easy to install (it's just one DLL) and debug things. Try it in real context and if you experience some problems you can switch to Postgres which is essentially compatible from the SQL point of view. If you have little experience with SQL I can guide you somehow to design the DB and the queries you need. As a first step, download and install a 3rd-party SQLite manager (I warmly recommend SQLite Expert personal edition). It allows you to create/fine tune your DB and run queries without having to write any extra code. Once the design is settled and queries run satisfactorily, start developping code.

The other day mikeytown2 posted one post in HTTP UDF's thread that got me thinking if there is better (different) method to send requests through the HTTP protocol to HTTP servers. There is Winhttp.dll that ships with windows and that is its main purpose. I couldn't find any examples of using this dll in AutoIt, so I came up with this. Microsoft about Windows HTTP Services: Microsoft Windows HTTP Services (WinHTTP) provides developers with an HTTP client application programming interface (API) to send requests through the HTTP protocol to other HTTP servers... .. blah, blah, and so on... This is an example of getting page header: #include "WinHttp.au3" Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) ; Open needed handles Local $hOpen = _WinHttpOpen() Local $hConnect = _WinHttpConnect($hOpen, "msdn.microsoft.com") ; Specify the reguest: Local $hRequest = _WinHttpOpenRequest($hConnect, Default, "en-us/library/aa384101(VS.85).aspx") ; Send request _WinHttpSendRequest($hRequest) ; Wait for the response _WinHttpReceiveResponse($hRequest) Local $sHeader = _WinHttpQueryHeaders($hRequest) ; ...get full header ; Clean _WinHttpCloseHandle($hRequest) _WinHttpCloseHandle($hConnect) _WinHttpCloseHandle($hOpen) ; Display retrieved header MsgBox(0, "Header", $sHeader)Everything you need to be able to use this UDF can be found at WinHttp site. Remember, basic understanding of the HTTP protocol is important to use this interface. ProgAndy, trancexx WinHttp.au3 is completely free and no one has right to charge you for it. That's very important. If you feel WinHttp.au3 was helpful to you and you wish to support my further work you can donate to my personal account via PayPal address: trancexx at yahoo dot com I will appreciate that very much. Thank you in advance! :kiss:

The DOM allows to do anything with elements and their contents, but first we need to reach the corresponding DOM object, get it into a variable, and then we are able to modify it. * Well, this little tool (although it is not very nice aesthetically) allows you to get visually a "selector" usable to reference DOM objects. Once you have the "selector" of an element you can pass it to the javascript querySelector() function that will return a reference to that element. To use this tool you have to: 1) open the web page you want to inspect into IE browser 2) run this script (if it find more instances of IE running, it allows you to chose one) 3) move the mouse over the browser. The "selector" of the element below the pointer is catched automatically while hovering. To copy the selector in the clipboard just right click on the element. As you can see, while hovering, the element pointed by the mouse is highlighted with a thin red dotted frame to allow you to better "take aim" when the selector is copied to the clipboard a little acoustic signal is emitted as a confirm, then you can paste it in your listing where you need it. I hope it can come in handy and save you time when you need to automate a site .... have fun (debugged on Sept. 30 2018) #include <IE.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <GuiListBox.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <Misc.au3> ; for _IsPressed (23 END key) Global $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll") ; following global variables are automatically updated by events from the browser ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Global $g_iMouseX, $g_iMouseY ; coordinates of the mouse while mooving over the browser Global $bCopySelector = False ; becomes True when you right click on wanted element ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Global $oIE = _Get_IE() ; get IE instance to inspect If IsObj($oIE) Then $hIE = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "hwnd") WinActivate($hIE) _InspectElements() EndIf DllClose($hDLL) Exit Func _InspectElements() ; it uses the global variable $oIE as source ; --- set IE to interact with AutoIt --- Local $oDocument Do ; wait for document Sleep(250) $oDocument = $oIE.document Until IsObj($oDocument) Local $oWindow = $oDocument.ParentWindow ; create a reference to the javascript eval method ; in the body section of the dovument $oWindow.setTimeout("document.body.JSeval = eval; ", 0) ; attach the $JSeval variable to the javascript eval method Local $JSeval Do $JSeval = Execute('$oIE.Document.body.JSeval') Until IsObj($JSeval) ; --------------------------------------------- ; Inject Javascript functions/elements to $oIE ; --------------------------------------------- ; Get the DOM path of an element (a CSS selector) ; ----------------------------------------------- ; This javascript function returns the CSS selector of the passed element. ; You can then use the returned path to get a reference to the pointed ; element by the QuerySelector() javascript function ; function copied from the following link: ; https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5728558/get-the-dom-path-of-the-clicked-a ; see answer by "Aleksandar Totic" (thanks to him) Local $sJScript = "" & _ " function getDomPath(el) {" & _ " if (!el) {" & _ " return;" & _ " }" & _ " var stack = [];" & _ " var isShadow = false;" & _ " while (el.parentNode != null) {" & _ " var sibCount = 0;" & _ " var sibIndex = 0;" & _ " for ( var i = 0; i < el.parentNode.childNodes.length; i++ ) {" & _ " var sib = el.parentNode.childNodes[i];" & _ " if ( sib.nodeName == el.nodeName ) {" & _ " if ( sib === el ) {" & _ " sibIndex = sibCount;" & _ " }" & _ " sibCount++;" & _ " }" & _ " }" & _ " var nodeName = el.nodeName.toLowerCase();" & _ " if (isShadow) {" & _ " nodeName += ""::shadow"";" & _ " isShadow = false;" & _ " }" & _ " if ( sibCount > 1 ) {" & _ " stack.unshift(nodeName + ':nth-of-type(' + (sibIndex + 1) + ')');" & _ " } else {" & _ " stack.unshift(nodeName);" & _ " }" & _ " el = el.parentNode;" & _ " if (el.nodeType === 11) {" & _ " isShadow = true;" & _ " el = el.host;" & _ " }" & _ " }" & _ " stack.splice(0,1);" & _ " return stack.join(' > ');" & _ " }" ; more infos here: https://www.kirupa.com/html5/finding_elements_dom_using_querySelector.htm ; Inject the above javascript function contained in the $sJScript variable into the document _JS_Inject($oIE, $sJScript) Local $_getDomPath ; a reference to call above function from AutoIt Do Sleep(250) $_getDomPath = $jsEval("getDomPath") Until IsObj($_getDomPath) ; ; ------------------- ; hook some IE events ; ------------------- Local $oEventObjects[2], $oEventsSource $oEventsSource = $oIE.document.documentElement ; element we want catch events from ; https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/platform-apis/aa769636(v=vs.85) $oEventObjects[0] = ObjEvent($oEventsSource, "_HTMLElementEvents2_", "HTMLElementEvents2") ; https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/platform-apis/aa768283(v%3dvs.85) $oEventObjects[1] = ObjEvent($oIE, "_IEEvent_", "DWebBrowserEvents2") ; open a GUI where to show some element's properties ; -------------------------------------------------- Local $hGUIMain = GUICreate("Info", 500, 140, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_TOPMOST) Local $hProperties = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 0, 0, 500, 140) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 9, -1, -1, "Courier New") GUISetState() ;Show GUI ; -------------------------------------------------- ; --------- ; Main loop ; --------- Local $iMouseX, $iMouseY, $oElement, $oNewElement, $sSelector Local $oGotElement, $sElementInfos Local $sSaved_StyleOutline, $sSaved_StyleOutline2 ; Loop until the user exits.

I've already prepared a very simple "template" where are missing some important parts without which the script can't work. Missing parts are the references to the elements of the AutoIt web page that we have to manage by our script. well, here is where the tool I have just posted here above comes to our help. follow this steps: 1) in IE open the AutoIt site at the forum page (https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/) 2) run the above tool (select the IE instance and/or bring it to front if needed) 3) when the script is "ready", move the mouse over the "Existing user? Sign In" string and right click the mouse button. Doing so the "selector" of that element is copied to the clipboard. Now we can paste it in our AutoLogIt.au3 script as value of the $sSignIn variable. 4) now click on the "Existing user? Sign In" to open the "Sig In" session from where we will copy selectors of each of the 2 input box Username and Password, in the same way as we have already done in step 3, and paste those selectors to the $sInputUserId and $sInputPasswd variables respectively. 5) do the same for the "Sign In" Button and paste it's selector to the $sSignInButn variable 6) of course also fill the $sMyUserId and $sMyPasswd variables with your data. That's It. Run the AutoLogIt script and it should Log you on automatically to the forum. AutoLogIt.au3 #include <ie.au3> $sMyUserId = "" ; <-- your userid here $sMyPasswd = "" ; <-- your password here ; set selectors here $sSignIn = "" ; <-- SigIn element selector here $sInputUserId = "" ; <-- UserId input selector here $sInputPasswd = "" ; <-- Password input selector here $sSignInButn = "" ; <-- Sig In button selector here $oIE = _IECreate("https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/") ; here is how to use the QuerySelector javascript function $hDOM_Element = $oIE.document.QuerySelector($sSignIn) ; get the "sign in" link element ; perform a click action on the above element $hDOM_Element.click() ; or _IEAction($hDOM_Element, "click") as well ; fill the username input $hDOM_Element = $oIE.document.QuerySelector($sInputUserId) $hDOM_Element.value = $sMyUserId ; fill the password input $hDOM_Element = $oIE.document.QuerySelector($sInputPasswd) $hDOM_Element.value = $sMyPasswd ; .... or also using the dot notation directly .... $oIE.document.QuerySelector($sSignInButn).click() Sleep(5000) ; this should logout $sMenu = "body > div:nth-of-type(2) > header > div > ul > li:nth-of-type(6) > a:nth-of-type(2)" $oIE.document.QuerySelector($sMenu).click() $sLogOut = "body > ul > li:nth-of-type(9) > a" $oIE.document.QuerySelector($sLogOut).click()

Yes, as previously stated, there are many edge cases that would break the regular expression that I provided. The original poster said that he was trying to parse URLs from "complex" html or text files. Not sure what a "complex" html or text file is, but your solution appears to rely on the input being an array of pre-parsed data. That means that your solution is not viable at all, if run against a file, without additional parsing. My last example assumes that it would be run against a file, not an array. It also successfully parsed out all of the examples that had been supplied up to the point in which I suggested it.

As suggested already there will always be reasons for anything fail Add an extra "&" to the end and it flunks I believe the stream cannot be handled so sterilely when its going all in a one direction So the idea of treating both other ends separately might still be a better way ..

Microsoft Diskpart Automation API * UPDATED: 9 January 2007 ** Version 0.21 * Added _DiskpartDetailVolume, _DiskpartDetailPartition, and updated the demo to show their use The structure of the API is fairly stable now and should change little going forward as new functions are added. The following functions are currently available: Process commands: _DiskpartStartConsole......Begin an interactive diskpart session _DiskpartCloseConsole......Terminate an interactive diskpart session _DiskpartTerminationCode...Returns the last recorded diskpart process termination codeFocus commands: _DiskpartSelectDisk.........Sets focus to the given disk _DiskpartSelectVolume.......Sets focus to the given volume _DiskpartSelectPartition....Sets focus to the given partition _DiskpartCurrentDisk........Returns the current in-focus disk _DiskpartCurrentVolume......Returns the current in-focus volume _DiskpartCurrentPartition...Returns the current in-focus partitionInformation commands: _DiskpartListDisks................Lists all fixed disks recognized by diskpart _DiskpartListVolumes..............Lists all volumes (including cd/dvd-rom and removeable) _DiskpartListPartitions...........Lists all partitions for the in-focus disk or volume _DiskpartListPartitionsByDisk.....Sets focus to the given disk and lists its partitions _DiskpartListPartitionsByVolume...Sets focus to the given volume and lists its partitions _DiskpartDetailDisk...............Obtains detailed information for the in-focus disk _DiskpartDetailVolume.............Obtains detailed information for the in-focus volume _DiskpartDetailPartition..........Obtains detailed information for the in-focus partitionManagement commands: TODOHelpful functions: TODO _DiskpartFindDiskByDiskID.........Returns the index of the disk with matching Disk ID (ie., 1CCE2CD3) TODO _DiskpartFindDisksByName..........Returns an array of disks that match the given name (ie., Maxtor OneTouch IIIs USB Device) TODO _DiskpartFindDisksByType..........Returns an array of disks of the given type (ie., USB, IDE)Please see the attached dpdemo.au3 file for an example on how to use this. I've done my best to document the code and make things easy to understand. The dpdemo-output.txt is the console output from the sample as run on my test box.win32.au3 diskpart.au3 dpdemo.au3 dpdemo_output.txt

If you can stomach using an internal API function you can issue any command you wish to the diskpart console and get the following benefits automatically: If diskpart coredumps/exits you can retrieve its termination code.If the command you send isn't recognized by diskpart, you'll be notified.The output returned is constrained to the current command session only so you don't have to worry about previous command results when parsing the output.Here's the function you should check out: ;; ;; Function : __dpIssueCommand ;; Description : Issues a command to the diskpart interactive console and captures its result. ;; Parameters : $pid : [in] running diskpart process identifier ;; $cmd : [in] command to issue ;; $output : [out] command output ;; Returns : Success : 1 ;; Failure : 0 ;; @ERROR : 0 = Success ;; : 1 = Failure ;; @EXTENDED : 2 = $_DP_ErrorCode_InvalidProcessID ;; : 3 = $_DP_ErrorCode_UnexpectedTermination ;; : 4 = $_DP_ErrorCode_StdoutStreamError ;; : 5 = $_DP_ErrorCode_StdinStreamError ;; : 7 = $_DP_ErrorCode_UnrecognizedCommand ;; Remarks : If @extended = 3 use _DiskpartTerminationCode to retreive its exit code ;;Checkout any of the _Diskpart*** functions to see how its used. I do intend to wrap most diskpart commands to trap errors and simplify getting the results, but it may take a while with my current work schedule. In the mean time, I'll do my best to answer any questions. Thanks !!

Updated the Diskpart Automation API to Version 0.21 Added missing _DiskpartDetailVolume and _DiskpartDetailPartition functions. Updated the demo code to show how you could use the new functions.

Will add the remaining basic disk commands: assign, active, create, clean, delete, and remove tonight. I don't deal much with dynamic disks and the more server centric commands but will add them on request - just let me know which one you need. I'll also add a function that allows you to send raw commands to the console.

Take a look at DemoElements. DemoActions is an advanced feature that shouldn't be needed just to update at element
