Get text from div class= or img class=

[kistoff]

I can not figure out how to get the text from a box that pops up in the form after hitting a button.

Button

<button style="white-space: nowrap;" id="auto_assign_3" class="form_action_button header action_context" title="Auto Assign" onclick="getAutoAssignment();;return false;" type="submit" value="cfc23c1cbda36000947b7b26545cb012" gsft_id="cfc23c1cbda36000947b7b26545cb012"><span>Auto-assign</span></button>

Three possible text blocks will display.

I would like to get "No auto-assignment group found." from this.

<div class="outputmsg outputmsg_error">
<img class="outputmsg_image" src="images/outputmsg_error_24.gifx">No auto-assignment group found.</div>

"Auto-assignment successful." from here.

<div class="outputmsg outputmsg_info">
<img class="outputmsg_image" src="images/outputmsg_info_24.gifx">Auto-assignment successful.</div>

"Multiple auto-assignment groups found." from here.

<div class="outputmsg outputmsg_info">
<img class="outputmsg_image" src="images/outputmsg_info_24.gifx">Multiple auto-assignment groups found.</div>

I have tried to use _IEImgGetCollection, _IELinkGetCollection, _IETagNameAllGetCollection, _IETagNameGetCollection, _IEGetObjById, _IEGetObjByName. Can someone point me in the right direction?

for applying data to elements having a common classname

use the classname property

like

if $oImg.classname='outputmsg_image' then ; so and so..

If I try that

$oIE = _IEAttach ; url here
$oImg = _IEImgGetCollection($oIE, "outputmsg_image")
$sInfo = $oImg.classname
MsgBox(0, "", $sInfo)

I get - "outputmsg_close"

Maybe I didn't list the right code.

<div id="output_messages" class="outputmsg_container">
<img class="outputmsg_close" onclick="GlideUI.get().clearOutputMessages(this)" alt="Close Messages" src="images/x.gifx">
<div class="outputmsg_div">
<div class="outputmsg outputmsg_error">
<img class="outputmsg_image" src="images/outputmsg_error_24.gifx">No auto-assignment group found.</div>
<div class="outputmsg outputmsg_info">
<img class="outputmsg_image" src="images/outputmsg_info_24.gifx">Auto-assignment successful.</div>
<div class="outputmsg outputmsg_info">
<img class="outputmsg_image" src="images/outputmsg_info_24.gifx">Multiple auto-assignment groups found.</div>
</div></div>

[PhoenixXL]

you used wrong parameter in the second part [i.e. the index]

this code should work [taken from the help file]

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.autoitscript.com/")
Local $oImgs = _IEImgGetCollection($oIE)
Local $iNumImg = @extended
MsgBox(0, "Img Info", "There are " & $iNumImg & " images on the page")
For $oImg In $oImgs
MsgBox(0, "Img Info", "class=" & $oImg.classname)
Next

[kistoff]

Ah you are right, its been a long day and I am learning as I go.

If I run that code with only changing the URL. It tells me there are 26 images on the page, class=outputmsg_close followed by class=0 26 times.

[kistoff]

I have been searching the forums for more solutions, but have come up with nothing so far. Anyone have some more ideas on what I can try?

[PhoenixXL]

could you give the URL of the webpage? it would be a lot easier to help then

[somdcomputerguy]

@kistoff - you could use the _INetGetSource and _StringBetween functions. Here's a short example with just _StringBetween().

#include <String.au3>
$sString = '<img class="outputmsg_image" src="images/outputmsg_error_24.gifx">No auto-assignment group found.</div>'
$aString = _StringBetween($sString, 'outputmsg_error_24.gifx">', '</div>')
MsgBox(0, '', $aString[0])

[kistoff]

@PhoenixXL - thanks for the help!

It is an internal work website, so I can not give out the URL. It is for service-now and there is a demo version on the web (https://demo03.service-now.com/navpage.do), but it may not have the field I am trying to get unless someone has modified it (I could play with the admin side and try to find the setting for it). Demo03 actually has the box atm, but I am not sure when the server gets reset. Login with "ITIL, ITIL" and click on an incident "INC000000" and It is the box "Done done done".

@somdcomputerguy - I will look into that in the morning, thanks!

Well that code worked thanks! I Would never have thought to use _Stringbetween.

#include <String.au3>
$sString = '<img class="outputmsg_image" src="images/outputmsg_error_24.gifx">No auto-assignment group found.</div>'
$aString = _StringBetween($sString, 'outputmsg_error_24.gifx">', '</div>')
MsgBox(0, '', $aString[0])

I would avoid stringbetween to get html node objects...my signature has a udf to use XPath's instead (not all valid xpaths are covered).

So, you can do something like this, as an example

#include "C:AutomationEFLBrowser_Generic.au3"
#include <IE.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("www.msn.com", True, True )
; example of getting both 'Maps' links
$aoMapLinks = BGe_IEGetDOMObjByXPathWithAttributes ( $oIE, "//a[contains(@href,'bing.com/maps/')]")
_ArrayDisplay ( $aoMapLinks )
; or, by the value:
$aoMapLinks = BGe_IEGetDOMObjByXPathWithAttributes ( $oIE, "//a[.='Maps']")
_ArrayDisplay ( $aoMapLinks )
; or, just the link that's inside a certain node:
$aoMapLinks = BGe_IEGetDOMObjByXPathWithAttributes ( $oIE, "//form[@class='skipOOB']//a[.='Maps']")
_ArrayDisplay ( $aoMapLinks )

array data returned are objects, so you can do any IEAction on them

I am rather new at this and I am not familiar with XPath, so I am not sure what syntax to use in order to find something in a document. I will do some reading about that, know of a good resource?

If I run the code it returns..

Row Col 0
[0]
[1]

Should it show more or am I missing something?

[Tjalve]

Cant you use regex? Like this:

#include <array.au3>

$array = StringRegExp("<img class=""outputmsg_image"" src=""images/outputmsg_error_24.gifx"">No auto-assignment group found.</div>","<img class=""outputmsg_image"" src=""images/outputmsg_error_24.gifx"">(.*?)</div>",3)
_arraydisplay($array)

w3schools ftw:

http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/xpath_intro.asp

The array data is expected to be empty, they are objects.

Reworking to use your site

#include "C:AutomationEFLBrowser_Generic.au3"
#include <IE.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("https://demo03.service.now.com/navpage.do", True, True )

_IELoadWait ( $oIE )

; example of getting both 'Maps' links
$aoImages = BGe_IEGetDOMObjByXPathWithAttributes ( $oIE, "//img[@class='outputmsg_image'")
;_ArrayDisplay ( $aoMapLinks )

For $i = 0 To UBound ( $aoImages) -1
 $oNode = $aaoImages[$i]
ConsoleWrite ( $oNode.innertext & @crlf )
Next

@Tjalve - That did work, thanks!

@jdelaney - I have been tinkering with this off and on all day. I think I have finally figured it out after trying a bunch of things and reading up on Xpath. Thanks for the link to w3schools and thanks for the help!

Here is what I came up with.

#include <IEGetDOMObjByXPathWithAttributes.au3>
#include <IE.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

$oIE = _IEAttach("...", "URL")
$oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, 1)
$aoImages = BGe_IEGetDOMObjByXPathWithAttributes($oFrame, "//div[@class='outputmsg outputmsg_error']")


For $i = 0 To UBound ($aoImages) -1
$oNode = $aoImages[$i]
ConsoleWrite($oNode.innertext & @crlf )

This writes to the console.

No auto-assignment group found.
