mikell Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 You mean this ? $url = "https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/" $txt = BinaryToString(InetRead($url)) $txt2 = StringRegExpReplace($txt, '(?is).*<meta.*?description"\s*content="([^"]+).*', "$1") If $txt2 <> $txt Then Msgbox(0,"description of " & $url, $txt2) The _IE* funcs are probably a more reliable way Rickname 1
EKY32 Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 I think that this function might help you? _IETagNameGetCollection Rickname 1 [font="'trebuchet ms', helvetica, sans-serif;"]Please mark the answer of your question if you found it.[/font]
Solution mikell Posted September 28, 2014 Solution Posted September 28, 2014 Here is the IE way #include <IE.au3> $oIE = _IECreate("https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/", 0, 0, 0) Do $html = _IEDocReadHTML($oIE) Until StringInStr($html, "description") $oIE.Stop() $oTags = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "meta") For $oTag in $oTags If $oTag.name = "description" Then Msgbox(0,"", $oTag.content ) Next $oIE.Quit() Else can you give us an example of link causing trouble ?

Rickname Posted September 28, 2014 Author Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Here is the IE way #include <IE.au3> $oIE = _IECreate("https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/", 0, 0, 0) Do $html = _IEDocReadHTML($oIE) Until StringInStr($html, "description") $oIE.Stop() $oTags = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "meta") For $oTag in $oTags If $oTag.name = "description" Then Msgbox(0,"", $oTag.content ) Next $oIE.Quit() Else can you give us an example of link causing trouble ? It was a Facebook link, like the link of someones profile, but I observed that its something strange with facebook links, the description appears translated in my foreign country language in the HTML source no matter what, even in the browsers, but when I view the page, the Description appears displayed on the page in english lol ( when Im not logged into Facebook ). But for other websites I discovered it works Unicode EDIT : Ok this problem WAS ONLY with the first method The method with _IE works flawlessly even with Facebook or anything ! Thankyou a million times dude ! And to the others who still tried to help me I will mark the above resolvation as the best one Thanks ! Edited September 28, 2014 by Rickname
