IE document >> save as MHT file

mLipok · May 7, 2015

I'm trying to save opened page in one MHT page.

I found many solutions like this:

_INetGetMHT( "http://www.yahoo.com", "C:\test.MHT" )
Func _INetGetMHT( $url, $file )
    Local $msg = ObjCreate("CDO.Message")
    If @error Then Return False
    Local $ado = ObjCreate("ADODB.Stream")
    If @error Then Return False

    With $ado
        .Type = 2
        .Charset = "US-ASCII"
        .Open
    EndWith
    $msg.CreateMHTMLBody($url, 0)
    $msg.DataSource.SaveToObject($ado, "_Stream")
    FileDelete($file)
    $ado.SaveToFile($file, 1)
    $msg = ""
    $ado = ""
    Return True
EndFunc

but can't find any which show how to save WebPage using AutoIt opened by _IE.. Functions.

but I come to this page:

http://microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript.narkive.com/WqvoHF8S/retrieve-html-from-a-website-using-vbscript#post3

Dim EvtSrc, WS, FS, URL, Path, Title, EN

Set WS = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set FS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

On Error Resume Next
Set EvtSrc=external.menuarguments.event.srcelement
EN = Err.Number
On Error GoTo 0
If EN <> 0 Then Reg_UnReg
'
Sub SaveAsMhtml()
URL = EvtSrc.Href
If IsNull(URL) Or LCase(Left(URL, 7)) <> "http://" Then _
ShowMessage 1
Path = "%userprofile%\My Documents\HomePages\"
Path = WS.ExpandEnvironmentStrings(Path)
If Not FS.FolderExists(Path) Then FS.CreateFolder Path
external.menuarguments.status = "Now downloading..."

With CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
.Navigate URL
Do While .Busy: Loop
Title = .Document.Title:If Title = "" Then Title = ":"

With CreateObject("CDO.Message")
On Error Resume Next
.CreateMHTMLBody(URL)
If Err Then On Error GoTo 0: ShowMessage 2
FS.CreateTextFile Path & Title & ".mht"
If Err Then _
Title = Replace(Date, "/", "_") & "_" & Replace(Time, ":", "_")
On Error GoTo 0
.BodyPart.GetStream.SaveToFile Path & Title & ".mht", 2
End With

.Quit
End With

external.menuarguments.status = ""
ShowMessage 3
End Sub
'
Sub ShowMessage(Mes)
Select Case Mes
Case 1: WS.PopUp "No link address.", 2
Case 2: WS.PopUp "Downloading failed", 2
Case 3: WS.PopUp "Downloading finished.", 2
End Select
window.close
End Sub
'
Sub Reg_UnReg()
Const RootKey = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\"
Const Name = "SaveAs &Mht Format"
Dim Path, TKey, Dummy, EN
Path = document.urlunencoded
TKey = RootKey & Name & "\"
On Error Resume Next
Dummy = WS.RegRead(TKey): EN = Err.Number
On Error GoTo 0
If EN = 0 Then
WS.RegDelete TKey
WS.PopUp "Deleted from context menu", 2
Else
WS.RegWrite TKey, Path, "REG_SZ"
WS.RegWrite TKey & "contexts", &H20, "REG_DWORD"
WS.PopUp "Added to context menu", 2
End If
window.close
End Sub

Question:

How to use this code in page opened by AutoIt _IE... functions ?

Looks to me as if the vbscript version is using a similar approach to the autoit version (using a CDO object's CreateMHTMLBody method).

I'm a little confused (as usual).

Are you using a local HTML page or a URL?

Are you trying to save that page as a MHT page or extracting something from a MHT page and trying to save as HTML?

Danp2 · May 8, 2015

I believe that he wants to save the currently opened IE page into an MHT.

Here are some more info

and here is a solution:

But my c++ knowledge is very poor.

So I have a question can somebody translate this cod to AutoIt ?

I presume you have read the following for some insight.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHTML

mLipok · October 30, 2015

Thanks for the link.

TheSaint · October 30, 2015

No worries, Wikipedia tends to be my first port of call theses days, just to get the basics on an interest.

I had it in my mind, that I had heard that MHTML was just some kind of fancy zip archive, and I wanted to confirm that before mentioning it to you. Unfortunately I didn't find any mention of that during my quick look.

All web content can be saved as a single MHT file,

EDIT:
and this is exactly what I'm trying to do.
Need some help:

All web content can be saved as a single MHT file,

More correctly speaking, a container file, as ZIP (ISO, etc) is a container file ... hence the notion they may be similar.
