how to find element or object by link

how to find element or object by link 

this is the only information that i got: 

<a class="js-nav" href="/followbacklist3/followers" data-nav="followers" data-is-compact="false" data-element-term="follower_stats">Volgers<strong title="829">829</strong></a>

and i want to use this code with this function,showing the value the followers that is 829

$oIE = _IECreate("https://twitter.com/followbacklist3")

Local $oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "a")
For $oInput In $oInputs
StringInStr($oInput.innertext, "volgers")

Next
MsgBox(0, "Twitter joesoef",$oInputs)

but this one is not working so i thought maybe i can track it with the link or something

Read the page code and then use _StringBetween to get the text.

I am now on phone, could not write and test a code

i am afraid i cant understand you.. you wana get the number value of the link.. you can reach the link be test it with your row stringinstr

after is you must use innerText in my opinian

and i think you can not typeout an objexct reference, because you oinput will be an object which point to an element of the element collection!

and and: if you have only 1 link you may use this code, but if you have more links(i dont know twitter) you must store in an array the values or you must put the writeout function inside the loop. and of course you have to remove the exitloop statement than! but only if you have more records to check..

$oIE = _IECreate("https://twitter.com/followbacklist3")

Local $oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "a")
Local $sInnervalue=""
For $oInput In $oInputs
   if StringInStr($oInput.outerHtml, "volgers") then
      $sInnervalue=$oInput.innerText
      ExitLoop
   EndIf
Next
if $sInnervalue="" then consolewrite("There was no link!")
MsgBox(0, "Twitter joesoef",$sInnervalue)

See if this helps.

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate("https://twitter.com/followbacklist3")

Local $oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "strong")
For $oInput In $oInputs
    ConsoleWrite($oInput.title & @LF)
Next

[bogQ]

Under ie8

 

#include <IE.au3>
#include <String.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate("https://twitter.com/followbacklist3")
$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "a")
For $oInput In $oInputs
    If $oInput.className() = "js-nav" Then
        If StringInStr($oInput.innerHTML()), 'Volgers') Then;or Followers depends withc language your using
            ConsoleWrite(_StringBetween($oInput.innerHTML(),'>','<')[0] & @CRLF);number of them
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    EndIf
Next

edit: maybe i casted that string converts with no need but its my habit when working with ie, dont know why fixed Edited January 23, 2014 by bogQ

thank you I'm almost there, your code:

#include <IE.au3>

#include <String.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate("https://twitter.com/followbacklist3")

$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "a")

For $oInput In $oInputs

    If $oInput.className() = "js-nav" Then

        If StringInStr($oInput.innerHTML(), 'Volgers') Then;or Followers depends withc language your using

            ConsoleWrite(_StringBetween($oInput.innerHTML(),'>','<')[0] & @CRLF);number of them

            ExitLoop

        EndIf

    EndIf

Next

MsgBox(0, "number followers", $oInput.innerHTML)

i get the followers number which im very happy with, but I also get some other text that I dont want:

if i start this script i get the message: Volger<strong title="829">829</strong>

is there a way that I can remover al the text and only get the numbers ( 1x 829 not 2 times)

(volgers = followers in dutch    )

[bogQ]

look at scite console output and you will see that you already have code for that in script

MsgBox(0, "number followers", _StringBetween($oInput.innerHTML(),'>','<')[0])
