need help with httprequest and parsing info

[idiot]

what im trying to do is check ip of my computer and compare that info with and ip saved to my web pages logfile and see if they have visited my thank you page and to check current date and see if its been more then say 30 days since thy visited my thank you page so basically if the ip matches check to see if is is thankyou page and if its been more then 30 days and if all 3 of these are correct then the program will run if not then program ends
so if ip matches and page has been visited and its been less then 30 days run program else end
im totally confused please help if i get this figured out i can buy the full version of macroscheduler with compiler

Without going to the links, I think we could comfortably say this can be done with Macro Scheduler.

You will probably get more help if you provide the samples of the logs and files directly in your posting, rather than providing links to other pages.

Still not clear, but you could use RegExpression to save those lines with "GET /thank you" and parse out the IP and the date from those lines:
71.14.155.168 - - [21/Feb/2009:22:13:42 -0800] "GET /thankyou

You can now use MidString to get the IP, and the date.

You can then remove all lines that are over 30 days, for example.

The result is a list of IPs that have visited the thank you page in the last 30 days.

Code: Select all

///ok here is where i get ip of my computer
Let>HTTP_TIMEOUT=5
HTTPRequest>http://checkip.dyndns.org,,GET,,HTMLResponse
Position>:,HTMLResponse,1,StartPos
Add>StartPos,2
Position><HTMLResponse>Endpos,1
MidStr>HTMLResponse,StartPos,EndPos,YourIP

///and here is where i get information from the website
HTTPRequest>http://customgameauto.com/logs/access.log,,get,info,strHTML,,,,

///and here is where i should parse the data to get ip address
///what im trying to do is compare info with YourIP to see if ip
///on computer matches one in log file
if>info=YourIP
goto>grant
else>
goto>deny
endif
label>grant
Message>access granted
endif
label>deny
Message>access denied

So, just use the Position command. Pos returns the position of one string inside another. If it does NOT exist it returns zero. So if it DOES exist you get a value greater than zero. So:

Code: Select all

///ok here is where i get ip of my computer
Let>HTTP_TIMEOUT=5
HTTPRequest>http://checkip.dyndns.org,,GET,,HTMLResponse
Position>:,HTMLResponse,1,StartPos
Add>StartPos,2
Position><HTMLResponse>Endpos,1
MidStr>HTMLResponse,StartPos,EndPos,YourIP

///and here is where i get information from the website
HTTPRequest>http://customgameauto.com/logs/access.log,,get,info,strHTML,,,,

Pos>YourIP,strHTM,1,p
If>p>0
  Goto>grant
Endif

This simply says if YourIP is *anywhere within strHTML* goto Grant.

To reiterate. This simply looks to see if YourIP is SOMEWHERE INSIDE strHTML. It does not care where or how many times. Just whether or not it exists somewhere in the log file.

getting error in line 6 and its not working its just going to denied and my ip is in the file

[Marcus Tettmar]

That's this line, copied from YOUR post:

Position>Endpos,1

It's wrong. But I don't know what it is meant to be as I copied it from your post. I think it got mangled by the forum (always worth turning off HTML and Smilies). But since it's YOUR code you should already have the original in your script. MY code was only the last 4 lines.

ahh ok this works now your right
ok now that i got the basic http down
how do i detect line that ip was found on so i can use that line for other data like /thankyou

Ah, so now your requirements change. That is different from just knowing whether the IP is in the file.

Here's a way to see what line it's on:

Code: Select all

//Loop through all lines:
Separate>strHTML,CRLF,lines
Let>k=0
Repeat>k
  Let>k=k+1
  Let>this_line=lines_%k%
  //see if YourIP is in this_line
  Pos>YourIP,this_line,1,pline
  If>pline>0
     MessageModal>%YourIP% found on Line: %k%
  Endif
Until>k=lines_count

This simply looks in ALL lines. You could stop once found, or maybe you want to create an array of line numbers for all lines it's found on. You may want to parse the line further.

I expect you'll come back with more detailed requirements next ;-)

ok so now i can get line number how do i use httprequest to search specific line?like once ive got the line that has the ip address then search that line for more data and if failed go to next next line search for ip again etc

nvm figured it out thanks for the help
