Referring to following image, I would like to know on how to export row 0 into text file as well.

Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks, to everyone very much for any suggestions (^v^)

 

#include <IE.au3>
#include <array.au3>
#include <File.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate("https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/interest-rates/countdown-to-fomc.html")
_IENavigate($oIE, "https://cmegroup-tools.quikstrike.net/User/QuikStrikeView.aspx?viewitemid=IntegratedFedWatchTool")

$oTag = _IEGetObjById ($oIE, "ctl00_MainContent_ucViewControl_IntegratedFedWatchTool_uccv_lvMeetings_ctrl3_lbMeeting")
_IEAction ($oTag, "click")
_IELoadWait ($oIE, 5000)

$oTable = _IETableGetCollection($oIE, 4)
;$oTable = _IETableGetCollection($oIE,0)
$aData = _IETableWriteToArray($oTable)
_ArrayDisplay($aData)
_FileWriteFromArray("C:\temp\txt.txt" , $aData,1)

read the help file on _FileWriteFromArray and then adjust your script accordingly. 😇

Post your code. Otherwise, we can only make wild guesses about what you are doing.

[oemript]

Please see following coding as shown below.

@oemript  At the stage you are now, you should be able to resolve this very small problem by yourself.  When there is text at the end of a tag, it is called .innertext.  You already got the object in $oTag.  So just save the text into a variable and write it to the file or copy it somewhere in the array (there is empty spaces) before you write the array to the file.

 

[oemript]

I try following coding, but it displays nothing within dialog box.

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "InnerText",$oTag.InnerText)

Do you have any suggestions on how to retrieve innerText properly?
Thanks, to everyone very much for any suggestions (^v^)

 

[Danp2]

It's a link, so it doesn't have an innertext attribute. Use "text" or "textContent" instead.

P.S. You should really learn to figure this stuff out on your own using the browser's developer tools.

[oemript]

When I search for help with " text " or " textContent", there is no related function for AutoIT.

Could you please provide any example on how to do that?

Those aren't Autoit commands / functions. They are properties of the link element. See here for more details.

My suggestion was to use one of them in place of "innertext".

[oemript]

I try following approach without luck

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "InnerText", _IEPropertyGet($oTag, "innertext"))
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "InnerText", $oTag.innertext)
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "InnerText", $oTag.text)

Do you have any suggestions on what is the proper format to retrieve innertext?
Thanks, to everyone very much for any suggestions (^v^)

Tested it with both .text AND .innerText and both are working fine.  But you need to grab it BEFORE you click on it, because the context changes after the click.  Really you need to experiment a minimum when we tell you something, it wasn't so hard to find ...

Have you tried using IsObj()? That seems like an obvious choice to me. 🤨

[oemript]

It works with If Not IsObj($oTag) Then
