search in html file

[154868]

I want to analyse html-files.

1) i open my html with shellexecute (no problem)
2) I want to search strings automatically in this html
3) I want to close my html, if search is done

How can I do this ?

Thanks for any help

Hi Andreas,

HTLM files are text files. You can open them using the following code:

lcHTMLFile = GETFILE('HTML','OPEN HTML','HTML')
lcHTMLCode = FILETOSTR(lcHTMLFile)

lcNewHTMLCode = lcHtmlCode

*-- Do whatever analysis needed
lcNewHTML = STRTRAN(lcNewHTMLCOde, "My old string", "My new string")


*-- Other analysis as needed

*-- Save if code has changed
IF lcNewHTMLCode #  lcHtmlCode
   STRTOFILE(lcNewHTMLCode, lcHtmlFile)
ENDIF

Andreas,

You can't automate the search if you open the files with ShellExecute(). You would have to use Automation, or create a web browser control using COM.

Jean's solution is much easier -- just treat the files as text files.

Do you need to do this task programmatically, or is it something you can do interactively? If the latter, the Code References tool can be used to do search-and-replace in HTML files. Just set the file type to Text.
