Want to pull website content into GUI without browser

[Bizzaro]

I have searched but could not find my answer.

I would like to be able to connect through the Autoit script, to a website(without the browser open) and then pull the text/code inside, into a GUI.

I know how to use and create GUIs but I need someone to point me in the right direction on how to connect direct from the autoit script to a website/server and pull the little bit of text.

Think of it like I want to pull the updates from a streaming twitter widget on a wordpress website.

Look at '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

also look at _IEBodyReadText in the help file for another way of doing it.

Last time I checked _IE* functions needed a browser.

Inet* or _Http* functions.

Yes, but they do not have to be opened in the foreground. Which is what I am assuming the op actually meant by "without the browser open"

If whatever text is in a page's source code, it can be processed by AutoIt, which can do other kinds of web stuff as well. See this thread for more about that - '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> Edited January 23, 2014 by somdcomputerguy
