_IETableGetCollection: Does it not capture html tags (e.g. <a href="xxx">xxx</a>

[Rob56]

I am successfully using AutoIt to:

• Open a web page with a table
  • Column 0 has a string which I search on. e.g
    <td>XXXX</td>
  • Column 1 has <td>elements like this
    <td> <a href="yyyy" > Some Text</a> </td>
• Capture the table with this code
  $oTable = _IETableGetCollection($o,1)
  $aTableData = _IETableWriteToArray($oTable, True)
• use $aResult = _ArrayFindAll($aTableData,"XXXX",Default, Default, Default, Default, 0)
  to get an array of the rows with my SearchString in column 0
• I then use  $aResult to extract Column 1 for my rows of interest

The problem is: All I seem to get is "XXXX"

How can I get the full contents of the <td> including the HTML tags?

Your using _IETableWriteToArray that is using .innerText and as far as i understand from your question you need to use .innerHtml.

So what you can do is create your own function and use similar code from original function changing that one thing if that is what you need.

 

As for more things you can do something like this 

#include <IE.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate()
Local $sHTML = "<h1>test</h1>"
$sHTML &= "<table>"
$sHTML &= "<tr><th>Company</th><th>Contact</th><th>Country</th><th>Country</th><th>Country</th></tr>"
$sHTML &= "<tr><td>Centro comercial Moctezuma</td><td>Francisco Chang</td><td>Mexico</td></tr>"
$sHTML &= "<tr><td>Centro comercial Moctezuma</td><td>Francisco Chang</td><td>Mexico</td></tr>"
$sHTML &= "<tr><td>Centro comercial Moctezuma</td><td>Francisco Chang</td><td>Mexico</td></tr>"
$sHTML &= "<tr><td>Maria Anders</td><td>Maria Anders</td><td>XXXX</td><td>Maria Anders</td><td><a href='#'>test123</a></td></tr>"
$sHTML &= "<tr><td>Maria Anders</td><td>Maria Anders</td><td>Centro comercial Moctezuma</td><td>Francisco Chang</td><td>Mexico</td></tr>"
$sHTML &= "</table>"
_IEBodyWriteHTML($oIE, $sHTML)

$oTable = _IETableGetCollection($oIE, 0)
$aTableData = _IETableWriteToArray($oTable, True)

Local $row = _ArraySearch($aTableData, "XXXX", Default, Default, Default, Default, Default, Default, False)
If @error Then MsgBox(0, 'error 1', @error)
Local $col = _ArraySearch($aTableData, "XXXX", Default, Default, Default, Default, Default, Default, True)
If @error Then MsgBox(0, 'error 2', @error)

ConsoleWrite('row: ' & $row & '; col: ' & $col & " | " & $aTableData[$row][$col] & @CRLF)

For $x = 0 To UBound($aTableData, 2) - 1
    ConsoleWrite($aTableData[$row][$x] & @CRLF)
Next
_ArrayDisplay($aTableData, "Found")
