[VB.NET] my.Alert

[fungun]

I need to get rid of a % sign in a scrapped string so I can set the value the same as the device string.
Here is the ini section for it.

[Clouds]
URL=http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/arnolds-park-ia/51331/current-weather/22514_pc
RegExSearch=<li>Cloud Cover: <strong>(?<number>[0-9]{1,3}\%)</strong>
RegExReplace=number
DeviceString=I45
Content=92% 

The device string now reads 92%

Thanks,
Tim

I just stumbled across this and was looking to download it, but it appears the link is broken...

FYI, it is a HS2 script. Is that what you want?

The equivalent in HS3 is either Web-scraper plugin in the updater or my DataScraper script on my site.

Well, that's it. I tried to open those links with IE on the HS2 pc and the page can not be displayed.
Guess I'll have to wait till I get a new PC.

Just tried it here on an old XP PC and get the same result.

Thank you for trying.
I am a bit puzzled as to why your script works and the "my.Alert" script doesn't.
Could it be, ( I thought about this last night), that my HS2 is still running on Win XP and so my Internet Explorer is too old for their website update.
I ask because I browse those sites using Firefox but I'm sure HS is using IE to scrape it.

Thanks,

Seems to work fine:

Obviously the values have changed since last night.

To Parse


<wml2:MeasurementTVP><wml2:time>2017-01-05T12:45:00-06:00</wml2:time><wml2:value>1.6</wml2:value><wml2:metadata><wml2:TVPMeasurementMetadata/>



<wml2:MeasurementTVP><wml2:time>2017-01-05T12:45:00-06:00</wml2:time><wml2:value>4.51</wml2:value><wml2:metadata><wml2:TVPMeasurementMetadata/> 

I need one of the "time", then I need the "1.6" and the "4.51" values.
Thank you for trying.

Give me the URL details again and what you are trying to parse and I will take a look tomorrow.

Sorry I cannot assist further unless you move it across to HS3 and use my Datascraper....

So will your Datascraper get past the https or the ssl stuff?

Thanks,
Tim

Well I am assuming this script works because I get no error for the script itself.
However I still get the same error I got from before. I won't copy the whole error, it's very long.
So now I am under the assumption I will have to download the xml file or the tab file and then try to parse one of them.
First the script, then the error.

Thanks,
Tim

Ok , I looked at a few. Some are very old, like from 2004.
I am getting confused on the "nodes" stuff.
Are the "nodes" the lines you want parsed in the xml file itself?
If so, how am I going to get 2 values that have the same "node" name?

ex -

<wml2:MeasurementTVP><wml2:time>2017-01-05T12:45:00-06:00</wml2:time><wml2:value>1.6</wml2:value><wml2:metadata><wml2:TVPMeasurementMetadata/>



<wml2:MeasurementTVP><wml2:time>2017-01-05T12:45:00-06:00</wml2:time><wml2:value>4.51</wml2:value><wml2:metadata><wml2:TVPMeasurementMetadata/> 

I need the 1.6 and 4.51 and just one of the date-time.

Thanks,
Tim

Every element in an xml is considered a node. There is an xml function that will return all the nodes with the same name as an array. Take a look at the VB examples here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...code-snippet-2

It also looks like I can output a xml file. Maybe that would be easier. (?)

XML is typically easy to parse. There are some great scripts floating around the forum for doing so. I think these are all written for HS3, but there may be some around for HS2 too.

Time you ditched that old X10 stuff and moved to HS3
