extract txt & paste into search -

Post by 23ohagan » Thu Mar 17, 2016 3:47 pm

Good Afternoon!

I am a newbie trying to learn the ropes.. but this one has me going crazy! I will gladly pay $10 paypal to the first person to give me a working script or my deepest gratitude to anyone willing to help me learn by examples...

Using:
* MS 14.2.07
* Windows 7 Professional
* Chrome browser


I want to extract the current top Trending search term from http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends

So I managed to get this:

Code: Select all

// Change "O" to H to extract inner html, T for just text. O is outer html - i.e. everything. Matches returned in valueArray
IEGetTagsByAttrib>{"http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends"},SPAN,classname=hottrends-single-trend-title ellipsis-maker-inner,T,valueArray
Which gave me 21 array's.

I would like to take the first result and paste it into a swagbucks search located here http://search.swagbucks.com/

and then take the second result and do the same thing again (search swagbucks)

Any help would be tremendously appreciated!

Thank you
Tammy

Re: extract txt & paste into search - WILL PAY $10 FOR SCRI

Can you be a bit more explicit about the help you need. I'm afraid to say this, but I think it's unlikely that anyone here is going to write a complete script for $10. Offering money for solutions here is unusual. But we are willing to offer specific help.

You already seem to have the code for pulling out the data. This code returns an array (you say 21 but I suspect you mean it contains 21 elements). I'm guessing what you really need help with now is how to loop through that array.

Just wanted to follow up. Thank you for the link it was very helpful! I did however find the final solution over at www.fiverr.com , where they will provide scripts, programming, etc Yes for $10, some quoted me as high as $20, but my final result was $12. Just in case anyone else needs something like this. Again, thanks
