Wait until text is visible

[bastian33]

Hey all,

 

I'm trying to build a simple comment poster, but I'm stuck at this; I'd like for script to wait until a text "Comment submitted" is visible on page, then sleep.

Here is my poor code for this func so far:

$sText = _IEBodyReadText($oIE) ; or this? --> $sText = _IEPropertyGet("innerText")
    If $sText="The text you're looking for" Then
        sleep(1000)
    EndIf

Help, pls:)

Thanks!

$sText = _IEBodyReadText($oIE) ; or this? --> $sText = _IEPropertyGet("innerText")
Do
    Sleep(1000)
Until StringInStr($sText, 'Your text')

Wouldn't you have to put the _IEBodyReadText() into the loop aswell? Like this?

 

Do
    Sleep(1000)
    $sText = _IEBodyReadText($oIE) ; or this? --> $sText = _IEPropertyGet("innerText")
Until StringInStr($sText, 'Your text')

Hey,

 

Thank you so much:)

I'll test it and let you know tomorrow.

Wow, I love this forum's responsiveness, lol.

 

Have a nice day!

Sorry, just figured out that the script mustn't sleep, until text is visible, but Wait for the text.

So something similar to my code above, but working one:)

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

Don't Remove Sleep. Maybe Reduce it.

It would be better, if I could use the Wait function somehow, instead of Sleep. This one is bugging me, 'cause I don't know how to make it wait until the text is found, not sleep. Ugh...

Help, pls? Thanks!

im not  familiar with IE func, did a quick look in the help file for IE, based from helpfile and script from above, I came up with this:

#include <IE.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
Global $var = "user forum", $counter = 1
Global $oIE = _IE_Example("basic")
Sample()


Sleep(1000)

Global $var = "HTML"
Global $oIE = _IE_Example("basic")
Sample()

Func Sample()

    Do
        $sText = _IEBodyReadText($oIE) ; or this? --> $sText = _IEPropertyGet("innerText")
    Until StringInStr($sText, $var)

    _IEQuit($oIE)
    If $counter = 1 Then
        MsgBox($MB_OK, "", $counter & "st" & @CRLF & $var)
    Else
        MsgBox($MB_OK, "", $counter & "nd" & @CRLF & $var)
    EndIf

    $counter += 1
EndFunc   ;==>Sample

232showtime, thanks but not working:)

It has to be a simple way to wait until the text is visible on page. Just wait for it, and when it's there, sleep 1000 then close.

Anyone? Thanks!

weird, its working in my side, I changed the value in 1st $var so the script will wait for the text in 1st $var and run the script,  while the script is active I changed the value in IE Browser and 1st msgbox poped up...

 

how about showing some reproducer???

How about this?

 

_IELoadWait($oIE)
$sText = _IEBodyReadText($oIE)
If StringInStr($sText, "Comment submitted") Then
    Sleep(1000)
EndIf
