Get a name or ID by the last 3 characters in Internet Explorer [Solved]

[SkysLastChance]

I am trying to grab the id "in2xk_26" however it the characters before the underscore always change. (in the name too)

Is there a way I can find a id or name by the last 3 charcters?

Using something like "stringright?"

So I would want to search for just "_26" in this case.

This is assuming that there are no other _26

 

#include <Excel.au3>
#include <IE.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Global $iMousespeed = 25,$target = "",$TagName = "",$Value = "",$Atrribute = ""



$oIE = _IEAttach("MEDITECH")

$TagName = "input"
$Value = "in2xk_26"
$Attribute = "id"


$tags = $oIE.document.GetElementsByTagName($TagName) ;TagName  ------ MAKE SURE TO NAME THESE
For $tag in $tags
$class_value = $tag.GetAttribute($Attribute)    ;Attribute ------ MAKE SURE TO NAME THESE
If string($class_value) = $Value Then           ;Value  ------ MAKE SURE TO NAME THESE
    $target = $tag

      $iScreenX = _IEPropertyGet($target, "screenx")
      $iScreenY = _IEPropertyGet($target, "screeny")
      $iWidth   = _IEPropertyGet($target, "width")
      $iHeight  = _IEPropertyGet($target, "height")

      $oMouseCords = MouseMove($iScreenX + $iWidth / 2, $iScreenY + $iHeight / 2, $iMousespeed)

      MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT)

    ExitLoop

EndIf
Next

You will need to grab all and loop through to find your specific one.   if you can create an xpath, you can use my signature to do the loops for you.

To be honest, I have no idea what a xpath is. I might have to find a diffrent way. 

[SkysLastChance]

I believe this would be my xpath? However, the Id and name are always changing so I am not sure how this would work???

//*[@id="in2xk_26"]

Ah, dynamic.  won't work for that.  try going up a level and look for something static.  or something from a sibling node

would it work if I grabed the line I marked with an arrow?

what the picture is showing is two diffrent collumns. 

 

[jdelaney]

That td is also only displaying dynamic data.  do any of the other td nodes have text?

Maybe a screenshot of the actual rendered table.

 

You are on the right track.   when you can find the right tr, you can dig intoit's child nodes to get the proper cell

I am not seeing any. Hopefully this screenshot sheds some light. 

[jdelaney]

So, if you are looking for the first name input, you can find the label next to it by the innertext firstname....then .getparent, and get the childnode for the input....or use .nextsibling

Couldn't such a simple workaround be used ?

$var = "_26"

; $sHTML = '<input name="in2xk_92" class="navitem s_147" id="in2xk_26" style="..." etc>'
$sHTML = _IEDocReadHTML($oIE)
$id = StringRegExpReplace($sHTML, '(?s).*?id="(\w+' & $var & ').*', "$1")
; Msgbox(0,"", $id)
$oInput = _IEGetObjById($oIE, $id)
; etc

@mikell This worked like a charm. Thank you!
