IEExtractTagByAttrib - can't pull needed data

[Jerryth31]

I need to capture this license code but can't figure out how to extract that data

RegKey.png

I have tried the following (and lots of others) and "LicKey" doesn't even show in the Watch List

Code: Select all

// Capture License Key
IEExtractTagByAttrib>IE[0],,textarea,,TextValue,1,LicKey
IEExtractTagByAttrib>IE[0],,td,textarea,TextValue,1,LicKey

I am entering the Registration Code so I know my connection with this page is good.

Any suggestions for grabbing the license info?
Thanks!

You might want to try ocr instead.

I haven't used OCR much so I am surprised at the 'quality' of text capture

If I OCRArea with a small border around the license key, the text gets detected correctly.
As My rectangle gets larger, the detection drops off fast.
If I try to do the entire window, I might get 4 characters out of the 22 character code.

Since I can't be positive about the location, that presents a problem.

I am currently working on right clicking in the field and then copying.
That may solve my problem.

Thanks for the suggestion!

You need to specify an attribute=value pair to identify the textarea, but instead have specified TextValue which is meaningless. TextValue is not an attribute of this textarea, and doesn't identify anything. Try this:

Code: Select all

IEExtractTagByAttrib>IE[0],,textarea,,id=password-result,1,LicKey

Thanks Marcus but that gave me a blank

The table cell that has the license string is pretty large is fairly easy to locate based on window size so I am able to put the cursor in the middle, select all and copy.

I would download the page using

"HTTPRequest>" command

and then use

"RegEx>"

with this pattern

"(?<=readonly="">).{6}-.{5}-.{6}-.{5}(?=</textarea>)".

Code: Select all

Let>URL=https://www.url-to-your-site-of-intereset.com
HTTPRequest>URL,,GET,,HTML_RESPONSE,,,,
Let>REGEX_PATTERN=(?<=readonly="">).{6}-.{5}-.{6}-.{5}(?=</textarea>)
RegEx>REGEX_PATTERN,HTML_RESPONSE,,FOUND_SERIAL,FOUND_SERIAL_count,,,
If>FOUND_SERIAL_count>0
  //We have found something
  Let>SERIAL_NUMBER=FOUND_SERIAL_1
Else>
  //Nothing found...
  Let>SERIAL_NUMBER=<unknown>
Endif>

Great idea Grovkillen!

I have the Copy/Paste method working and have moved on other issues (getting OCR to work against the Windows application this license is for - buts that's another channel...).
If I have problems with Copy/Paste I will switch to your approach.

Thanks!
