Unc3nZureD Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) My code is the following: #include <Array.au3> #include <String.au3> $File = InetRead("http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms633494%28v=vs.85%29.aspx") If @error Then ThrowError("InetRead Failed") $File = BinaryToString($File, 4) ClipPut($File) $str = _StringBetween($File, "<dt>", ".dll</dt>") If @error Then ThrowError("StringBetween Failed " & @error) _ArrayDisplay($str) MsgBox(0,"", $str[0]) Func ThrowError($error) MsgBox(0,"", $error) Exit EndFunc If you have a look at the target website, you can find the following substring, which I'd like to find: </th><td> <dl> <dt>User32.dll</dt> </dl> </td></tr> I'd like to extract that User32 text. I can't see why my script fails all the time. Could anyone help me? Thank you! Edited July 10, 2014 by Unc3nZureD
funkey Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 I'm not sure if InetRead works this way and I did no testing, but you are only testing the @error of BinaryToString and not if InetRead fails. Programming today is a race between software engineers striving tobuild bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universetrying to produce bigger and better idiots.So far, the Universe is winning.
Unc3nZureD Posted July 10, 2014 Author Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Oh, that's just a mistake, the InetRead works surely. _StringBetween returns error & the whole HTML file. ( I edited the 1st post, to represent, what I actually wanted ) Edited July 10, 2014 by Unc3nZureD
Solution BrewManNH Posted July 10, 2014 Solution Posted July 10, 2014 It's not failing, it's finding the first instance of <dt>, and stopping at the first instance of .dll</dt>. Unfortunately, the text you're getting back is not what you're expecting because it's using a Regex that matches exactly what you asked for, but not what you wanted. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Unc3nZureD Posted July 10, 2014 Author Posted July 10, 2014 Oh, got it. I changed my Starting to: $delim1 = "</dt>" & @LF & "</dl>" & @LF & "</td></tr>" & @LF & "<tr><th>" & @LF & "<p>DLL</p>" & @LF & "</th><td>" & @LF &"<dl>" & @LF &"<dt>" And now it works Thanks.
