ME to copy different amount of numbers


NeVeR

Recommended Posts

I've over 1000 pages that i need to copy 1 bit of text from the source code of.. and i want to write a marco for it.

 

I've all the URL's in a spread sheet.

 

getting them to open in browser is fine... then i can use CTRL+U to open the source.

 

Each webpage has a page ID it's in the source code as

class="pg-1" or "class="pg-5845" just because I've 1000 pages it's not from 1 - 1000 .. some page ID's are like 123532543 etc.

 

I can get the macro to find class="pg- and then the tricky part. How can i get the macro to find the numbers and know how many there are.. sometimes there will be 1 or 2 and then there will be 9 or 10.

 

the good thing is there is a " after the numbers.. So there might be a way to tell the marco to stop or something.. I'm not sure to be honest.

 

Does anyone have any ideas ?

 

thanks.

The way I would tackle this is to copy of the original information to a new variable, use the "Variable Set Integer from Position of Text" command to find the needed tag, then use the "Variable Modify String: Copy Part of" command to copy or delete parts of the original source information as needed. Repeat the steps with different tags.

 

Eventually you may wind up with a string that contains both letters and numbers. You can loop through that string one character at a time and copy out only the numbers.
