Hi guys,

I'm trying to write a script that uses sharkscope.com to get some data.

Thats a very ugly way to achive this.

I followed/sniffed the javascript.. To see what pages it was requesting. I managed to write this code which doesnt open any windows or anything.. It does everything in the background.

You may need to organise the results depending on what you want to do with them.

This is a very interesting and elegant solution. Thank you. Certanly more so than mine. And you didn't spend 2 days doing it.

But I can't follow the javascript requests, so could you also look into what is required to request not the last 8 but the last 50 games?
I absolutely need this, but wanted to keep the posted code simple and didn't post the whole thing.
There is a part where if the user played more than 8 games since last checked it requests 50 games.
The javascript for this:
javascript:ClearRecentGames('belle33#fulltilt&null', true,'50');


tank, yes I know about the tutorials. I tried to read them. It's like trying to teach someone from the Dark Ages about the internet. You can make a tutorial about what it is and how to use it, but he'll never understand it without understanding a million other thing that lead to this pont. Like electricity That's how much help those tutorials are for someone like me, who is not so interested in the inner workings of various software technologies.

I cant follow or sniff the requests the javascript is making because i get the following message.

Well if you're looking to make your existing code a little more reliable, you could try using using ControlSetText/ControlSend instead of Send (untested obviously):

Thank you, this should help.
Any idea how to get into var what the javascript (below) returns without the ugly copying?

[sinkfaze]

What does the page do when you execute that script? Does it load a new page? Open a pop-up window?

Ok i have to explain a little about this part.

Since returning 10 or more results from sharkscope requires you to be logged in, You have to set username and password.

However we have to pass the encrypted version of your password. sharkscope uses MD5.

So before using the script.. set the variable 'siteUsername' to your username on sharkscope. [url]Then navigate to http://md5-hash-online.waraxe.us[/url] In the big edit box type your password..And click "Calculate MD5 hash" this will return a 32 character string.. This is the value you must put in 'sitePassword'

Once you have done the above you can alter how many results/recent games you return by editing the variable 'amountResults' its currenly set to 50. this will return 50 recent games info.

Ive tested the code with the user/pass you sent me and it works fine. Ive also pmed you a copy where i already included your user/pass.

i3egohan,

This is great! Thank you very much. It's a much better solution that I hoped for.

No problem... Just keep reading that manual.
