WebRecorder TagExtractor vs VBScript

Post by MGuyM » Wed Jun 25, 2008 5:59 am

While I'm new to Macro Scheduler and Web Recorder as well as VB Script, I've managed to learn alot the last few days.

One of the things I like about Web Recorder is it's ability to get various Tags and allow you to use them in your Script.

I know that "IE_ExtractTag" is a function of the IEAuto.DLL and as such, it does the cool stuff of reading a page and allowing you to extract data by addressing it as a TAG etc.

Is it possible to do this in VBScript? I'm sure it will be easier in MS, but I couldn't help but be curious about whether something like this could be duplicated in VBS or not.

Thanks!

Yes, it is possible to do it in VBScript. The following script shows a basic ExtractTag function. Unlike WebRecorder it cannot handle frames.
