What happens when you load the JavaScript file directly? In theory, you can monitor any file, but that's assuming there isn't some other weird stuff going on.

There are many JavaScript files in the page. For example, this is the source for the page I want to scrape:

You'll have to drill down to the right file. I'm extremely busy right now, but if you share the link and text you are looking for, I can try to help you figure this out.

[Mario from Spain]

The issue is: What I'm looking for isn't in the files. The files contains just JavaScript and is when the client downloads it when the client browser executes (interpretes) the JavaScript and creates the actual HTML.

Don't worry because as the server is running on my private network on a Raspberry PI I'll try to modify it so it serves "static HTML" easier to parse :-)

[fungun]

Ok, I have been looking at this for awhile.

Just don't get it.
Here is the url

http://www.wunderground.com/sky/ShowSky.asp?CurDir=Up&TheLat=43.41941833&TheLon=-95.13288116&TimeZoneName=America/Chicago

There are a TON of these

<tr> <td> 

on the page, but the only one I want is this one

<td>Moon</td>
        <td>11:53 AM CST</td>
        <td>&nbsp;</td>
        <td>11:44 PM CST</td> 

So how do I do the regex to just look for this one tag?

Thank you,
Tim

Need some help getting this to work.

I'm on HS3. Installed script in scripts and created ini in config.
Here's my ini

[APEX_pH]
URL=http://192.168.1.55:8282/cgi-bin/status.xml
RegExSearch=<name>pH</name><value>[0-9]\.[0-9][0-9]
RegExReplace=
DeviceString=T1

This is the section of the webpage I'm trying to get. I want the value between name pH and value. So, in this case, 8.14
(I had to remove all the < and > as this forum was removing the xlm code from my message)

probe
name pH /name
value 8.14 /value


When I run my event, script, with these optional parameters
("monitor","3@APEX_pH")

All I get in the HS log is this:

Jan-16 11:48:22 AM Event Running script in background: C:/Program Files (x86)/HomeSeer HS3/scripts/myAlert.vb
Jan-16 11:48:22 AM Event Event Trigger "Tank Get APEX pH"
Jan-16 11:48:22 AM Event Event Tank Get APEX pH triggered by the event page 'Run' button.

Can you help me figure out why the script doesn't seem to be running / returning any debug info?
Also, I don't understand what the RegExReplace= option is for.

Thanks!

P.S. This looks awesome and I hope to use it for many use cases.

[bernieb]

Has this been ported for HS3 now? I can't see an annoucement.

[msbreton]

Do scripts need to be ported? I thought that just applied to plug-ins.

I found another page I can't sort.
Here is the page source -

<span class="pr">
<span id="ref_464426_l">141.00</span>
</span>
<div class="id-price-change nwp">
<span class="ch bld"><span class="chr" id="ref_464426_c">-1.15</span>
<span class="chr" id="ref_464426_cp">(-0.81%)</span> 

Here is what I have in the ini file -

[PolStockChng]
URL=http://www.google.com/finance?q=PII&ei=lhojVfCEDoeIsAfJlYHICw
RegExSearch=<span class="chr" id="ref_464426_c">(?<number>\[0-9]+\.[0-9]{2})</span>
RegExReplace=number
DeviceString=s98
Content= 

I can't get it to work because I have no idea how to handle the "+" and or the "-" infront of the 1.15

Thanks,
Tim

[fungun]

Anyone?

Thanks,
Tim

[jbbtex]

Anyone?

Thanks,
Tim

Try this

RegExSearch=<span class="chr" id="ref_464426_c">(?<number>.*)</span> 

[fungun]

Thank you, that worked.
So how is it that I don't need all this -

(?<number>\[0-9]+\.[0-9]{2}) 

Thanks again,
Tim

[jbbtex]

Thank you, that worked.
So how is it that I don't need all this -

(?<number>\[0-9]+\.[0-9]{2}) 

Thanks again,

. = match any character that is NOT a line break (line feed)
* = between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible

This should also work.

<span class="ch bld"><span class="chr" id="ref_464426_c">(?<number>[+-][0-9]\.[0-9]{2})</span> 

[+-] = match a single character in this list
[0-9] = match a single character in the range "0" to "9"
+ = between 1 and unlimited times, as many times a possible
\. = the literal character .
{2} = match exactly two times

The above would match +7.40 and -7.40, but not 7.40 and not +7.4 or -7.4
.* would match all five.

Clear as mud?

[fungun]

Yes, thanks for that explanation. It helps alot.

Tim

[fungun]

Never mind it helps if you use "http" and not "https"

Thanks,
Tim

[fungun]

Ok, I guess I do have a problem.
I have tried different approaches and I either get what is in the pic below or i get no data at all.
Info is attached.

Thank you,
Tim
