Re: Screen scraping values from a page

@Grovkillen, I don't know, I was just passing along what they told me. What I did learn is that if you just download the html, you won't find those values in there anywhere. So I suppose they are delivering pictures rather than text data. Maybe those pictures are created server-side, I'm not sure. I...

Re: Capturing output from program in console

Hi, JRL, thanks for the suggestion. In the end, I decided to create a small ram drive, and I wrote my file to there, and read and parsed the answer. Because the drive is in memory, it's fast, it won't wear a groove in my hard drive, and so that's an acceptable substitute for reading from the console...

Re: Screen scraping values from a page

I've asked some people to look into it, one tells me that the values are encrypted. Have a few more inquiries out there.

Capturing output from program in console

Hi, I've never tried this before, but I have a dos program that returns data to the console periodically as it is running. I have created a small batch file to simulate its output: CLS ECHO OFF FOR /L %%A IN (1,1,10) DO ( TIMEOUT /T 5 >NUL ECHO %%A ) ECHO DONE The batch file output looks like this, ...

Re: Screen scraping values from a page

Thanks. It's difficult for me to say, because I don't understand what you're talking about!! :D That said, when I look at the HTML, I think these two things are what make this page work: 1. The red box highlights for a few seconds when I hover over any of the colored prices 2. I think the ratechange...

Screen scraping values from a page

Hi all, I'm trying to grab some values off a public web page, not sure how to approach this. I looked at the underlying HTML, and while the container is pretty well defined, there don't seem to be any values I can capture. The web page: https://finance.yahoo.com/chart/SPY#eyJpbnRlcnZhbCI6ImRheSIsInB...

Re: HMAC-SHA256 function

Maybe not required... I found a Powershell script that does the trick here:

HMAC-SHA256 function

This seems to be widely used in API's I've looked at lately.

Re: chromedriver.exe once and for all

Thanks for looking into it. I have to believe this has a lot to do with Windows Server (NT) vs. Windows desktop. I assume you're running the latter. I can live with the way it works for now.

Thanks again.

Re: chromedriver.exe once and for all

Marcus, thanks very much for making that work, I very much appreciate your efforts to solve the issue. There are a couple things I wanted to bring to your attention: 1) I eliminated the chromedriver.exe popup by unchecking the box that said "run this dialog each time..." 2) I was looking through the...

Re: FTP not working for me

I did a log from Filezilla, this was in it, and may be the issue: Status: Server sent passive reply with unroutable address. Using server address instead. I think this means Filezilla is doing a workaround, ignoring the incorrect passive reply and substituting its own best guess. I'm guessing that M...
