[Question] Url

[Spot_1337]

Greetings,

I'm making a program that makes .additem much easier but how do i
show just some of the url in textbox1?
like Www.mmowned.com/12345
Best would be if it detected numbers but it works if it just delete Www.mmowned.com/ and show 12345 in textbox1.

Thank you! :wave:

Found a way but it only works if the number is 5 numbers long like 12345

Dim strNumber As String

strNumber = Strings.Right(Text1.Text, 5)

Text1.Text = strNumber

This will take the last 5 digits from the URL you put in text1.text then put the 5 digits into text1.text when you click a button,

i sopose the only other way would be to have some option boxes so the user would have to tell you how many numbers are at the end and do something likes

if opt5.value = true then 
 strNumber = Strings.Right(Text1.Text, 5)
Elseif opt6.value = true then  
 strNumber = Strings.Right(Text1.Text, 6)
End if

Hope this helps

The problem is that the url is not showed , you just type the name of the thing you wanna search on and show it on thottbot in webbrowser1 :S

[Murdok]

oh thats alot more tricky i would of thought you would need a database or a random file of some kind which holds all the codes and when you search the item it brings the code up into a variable and then you do

Shell "Explorer.exe, "http://www.thottbot.com/" & VARIABLE

something lik that cant remember the exact code

i will try a few things but i think that would be the best option but would take quite a while

[Spot_1337]

its millions of items on thott cant add them all :S

hmm isn't it possible to make like this,
when you press button1 it read the url in webbrowser1 (not visible url) and then delete everything (save the 5 numbers) and put the 5 numbers in textbox1 ?

kk here you go

Dim webpage As String

webpage = "http://thottbot.com/?s=" & txtSearch.Text
WebBrowser1.Navigate webpage

this will add what ever is placed into a textbox for example Thunderfury and will navigate the webbrowser to

http://www.thottbot.com/?s=Thunderfury

so you will need a textbox called

txtSearch

webbrowser called

Webbrowser1

and a command button

called cmdSearch

you can use my project i made :

err i cant see the id in your project :s

[Murdok]

it doesn't get the ID because that's quite hard to do but I can try if you want

[Murdok]

i actualy think it maybe imposible without having the full database of items since there is no way of linking the iem to the code using the webpages since the web url to the item is

www.thottbot.com/19019

[Spot_1337]

okay that sucks ;(((
But thank you for your time and /w me if you find out how to do it

[Murdok]

Right I've made it for you

your searches have to be spot on no spelling mistakes or anything so for example search something like

Brutal Gladiator's Barrier

and it will then allow you to click the get ID button which gets the id for you

heres is the download

Good Luck

anythign else dont hesitate to ask.

The first time you run it it might give you an error saying its spelt wrong but just search it again and do get id again and then it should work

There may be a few bug just point them out if you cant get round them yourself

For search on thottbott :

WebBrowser1.Navigate ("http://thottbot.com/?s="+TextBox1.Text)

For enter the item id into a textbox and it will show thottbott page in WebBrowser1

WebBrowser1.Navigate ("http://thottbot.com/i"+TextBox1.Text)
