Post New Requests Here / Re: Browser View Source -> save source via .ahk

Thanks for the link.

I did the FF add on which causes FF to do what IE6 does.....view source ctrl+shift+U

That brings up a new window with the source in it.

Post New Requests Here / Browser View Source -> save source via .ahk

« on: September 24, 2007, 07:46 PM »

from an .ahk script, how do I save the 'source' for a displayed IE or FireFox page to a file?

I didn't want to rely on .ahk moving the cursor to the 'file' menu, 'save source' etc.

Thank you

jgpaiva - the real answer is that I'm ignorant, ie. lack of experience and knowledge. And not being particularly bright doesn't' help.  Thank you very much for your suggestion. I'lll look at it and it may be just the right thing. Thank you very much!


mouser - EXACTLY..... that would give me the minimal functionality I need. Any ideas or can you point me to a place where I can either have it done or learn how to do it....??

Coding Snacks / Page data harvest

« on: July 16, 2007, 09:52 PM »

Very frequently I would like the ability to harvest data or some information from a page.
Something like Snagit, but simple, less expensive and something that will capture raw html from a page...

I've attached a document that has pretty pictures and a description.


Simple Solution: Single Page Harvest

Function key responds by saving all html for the current page in a file named

{student number}-{page name}.htm
Example: 214-Attendance.htm

Then later I'd use SED, GREP or AWK to find what I am looking for.
