Subject: [RBASE-L] - receiving HTML datastream into varchar/note
1. For an application I should read and interpret the result of an
html-site.
Q. Are you trying to read displayed data from the site as shown in your
default (non RBASE) browser?
2. If I call a specific URL with parameter, the URL displays a string in
html. This value is needed in a RBASE for Windows application.
Q. Are you trying to capture the URL as shown in your default (non RBASE)
browser into an RBASE variable or are you trying to pass the value of an
RBASE variable to the Address bar of your default (non RBASE) browser?
3. I would be able to present the URL within an internet browser object in a
form and ask the user to copy and paste to variable/database fields by
himself, but I would prefer to run this process automatically in the
background.
Q.
Has anybody an idea or a tool to pass or receive a html page to RBASE for
Windows without user interaction? The URL has not to be displayed.
A. I have experience with filling a remote site page with data from RBase
and "IF" there are no cross-domain security issues, I should be able to use
my RMScript.DLL to get displayed data from a remote web page "IF" the text
objects of the remote page use the same value for the ID property of the TD
(table_data) in every case.
Example (copy till end of line for testing, the spaces are part of the
parameters):
http://tinygeocoder.com/create-api.php?q=3935 Old William Penn
Highway,%20Murrysville,%20USA
Returns geo-coordinates for RBase Technologies Inc.: 40.42754,-79.69132
In another case, other URL, I receive a formatted html table, where I
should extract some needed values.
Best Regards
Adrian
