Im new at vbscript but self-taught. Long story short Im trying to find a script to open up a browser in the background, read a line thats in a container and use that variable in my vbscript to open up and image on a network folder.
Ok so I'll be working on the client side (even though I may have access to the web files on the server, Im more trying to do this from the client). There is a monitor(s) throughout the office that dispaly a very simple text display; top line would read " cubicle 3"
next line would read "Image123" and the last line would read "3:43pm"
so essentialy the display is just indicating 'cubicle(workstation) 3' is working on image123 (or whatever image 13, 412, 223...) and lastly is just the time(obviously). The webpage, as I said before is on an internal network at http:\\blah\blah blah\status.html or something like that.
The script I am trying to create will simply look at that webpage or html, hopefully, read the image number (image213, or whatever) and put that into a variable for the vbscript to use. var = currentimage (or whatever).
I know or understand the script to use picturebox, but I dont know how to parse the html to give it a variable to search for the file. Does that make more sense?
Can anyone help or point in the right direction to find a script that will grab or parse that?
