Getting a String from a web page

HI there, i want to store a String on a web page as a String in my Java program to manipulated, here is the web page:
ftp://weather.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/EGBB.TXT
Does anybody have an idea where i should start with such an operation, is it even possible?
Thank you!

1) If you have a server, you can put a server side script up
that
returns the time quite easily. From Director, you would use
getNetText() to pull it down
2) If you click on the stage where there are no sprites,
there will be,
in the Property Inspector, a Display Template tab. There are
your
Titlebar options. Uncheck the ones you don't want to see
(like for
example "Close Box")

Capture a string from a web page

Is it possible after opening a web browser to capture a string and bring it into LabVIEW? I want to open our company's intranet web page, go to our employee locator facility, capture an email address, and import it into a LabVIEW ap. Will this work? I've opened the browser; now I just need to know how to capture the string. If i just try copy/paste, it obviously won't work. Any suggestions?

Take a look at this example. With this you just need to parse the HTML.

Extracting info from a web page

Hi,
I m not sure if i m asking this question at the right forum.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to extract data from a web page.
This means, say for example a web site Yahoo displays stock quotes
updated or NASDAQ values almost in real time.
Now if i want to get that information from the web page into one
of my applications ,say, something that uses that data. Is there
a way to do it?
Just curious

Yes, it's possible. You can use the java.net.URL object to connect to websites and download the html. Doing the coding is not that easy, and you should also be mindful of not redistributing data you've gotten from another site without permission

Hi,
What kind of web page do you have? Do you have possibility to for example make RFCs? Then you could trigger events (with parameters that could "return" the values) and the workflow could react to those events. For example your task can have terminating events.

How can I use Automator or AppleScript to get text from a web page and paste it in execl?

I don't know how to make scripts or complexed automator workflows... that's why I'm asking.
I'm trying to make a simple app or script to ask me what text to extract from a web page, like name, address and phone number of a web page and paste each one of these data in the righ cell of excel.
I was thinking to promt a request from automator or an applescript to ask me which text to extract from the page or to look throught the HTML of the page to search for specific html tags, from which extracting text and then importing it, or paste it to the specified execl cell. Name in the name cell, address in the address cell and so on.
Can somebody help me to make this script?
If you know an alternative, like a software that already do this or another language to use, please tell.

Try holding down the alt key as you mark the text to be copied. You can then copy columns to table text.

Posting an XML Variable to a BLS Transaction from a web page

I am working in xMII 11.5 with all the latest service packs. I know this is probably a really basic question but I am stumped.
I am trying to pass a multi row and multi column XML data set from a web page into a BLS transaction (actually, two of them) in order to populate the parameter. I want to use the Web Service interface to the transaction. I have tried using parameters on an Xacute Query in an Applet as well with an equal lack of success. I cannot persuade the transaction to see the incoming variable as an XML data type. I have tried encoding and decoding and string to xml conversions and nothing seems to successfully allow the data set to be seen withing the BLS as anything but a string. The String to XML action will not handle the number of columns in the dataset though it seems to work if the data set has only one column. The data set is formatted in the proper "Rowsets/Rowset/Row" format. I have considered writing the data to an XML file on the server (I know I can deal with that) but that is not acceptable in this application.
Can someone share the secret with me?

Parameter value:
r1d1,r1d2,r1d3;r2d1,r2d2,r2d3;r3d1,r3d2,r3d2
Pass thru String List to Xml Parser with delim ";"
<Row>
<Item>r1d1,r1d2,r1d3</Item>
</Row>
<Row>
<Item>r2d1,r2d2,r2d3</Item>
</Row>
<Row>
<Item>r3d1,r3d2,r3d2</Item>
</Row>
Repeat on each row/item and pass thru String List to Xml Parser with delim ","
<Row>
<Item>r1d1</Item>
</Row>
<Row>
<Item>r1d2</Item>
</Row>
<Row>
<Item>r1d3</Item>
</Row>
Of course, your columns aren't flat but they are easy to ref, to get "column 2" for example:
StringListToXml_1.Output{/Rowsets/Rowset/Row[2]/Item}
So now you have rows and columns. Assign your data to your BAPI structured as needed.
We have passed complex XML via the SOAP interface in 11.5, but it involved some "hacks". Basically we passed the sterilized XML via a String Type Parameter, and then unserialized it inside the BLT.
I have been told on this board that there is a solution to passing XML data vie the SOAP interface using ref docs, but i have never personally seen a working example.

but it only extracts URLs from <A> (anchor) tags. I want to be able to extract URLs from <MAP> tags as wellGee, do you think you could modify the code to check for "Map" attributes as well.
Can someone maybe point a page containing info on the HTML toolkit for me?It's called the API. Since you are using the HTMLEditorKit and an ElementIterator and an AttributeSet, I would start there.
There is no such API that says "get me all the links", so you have to do a little work on your own.
Maybe you could use a ParserCallback and every time you get a new tag you check for the "href" attribute.

Is there any way to read XML directly from a Web Page ??

i have a url, which on sending request, shows XML in browser.
Now i need to read this XML in browser and then manipulate it according to my need and display it on another page.
actually the process is. :
1) i have to first retrieve an xml from other site. (XML will only be shown in browser)
2.)then i have to read the Xml and show it in according to my requirements.
Is there any way to read XML directly from a Web Page ??
is their logic to accomplish this.
e.g in Servlet i can do somewhat like this :
String wholeXml=Somemethod(url);
Please Advice

the average Java XML parser will accept an InputStream, so just open an URLConnection to the webpage, get the inputstream from it and feed that inputstream to the XML parser. If the URL has valid XML data, it will get parsed without problems.

How to Open an Oracle Apps Screen from a web page

Hi,
We have requirement for Opening an Oracle Application screen (say sales order form) directly from a web page.
I could get the URL of the required screen, but the URL contains an ICX_TICKET number, which is generated dynamically by Oracle Apps. So I can't use a static URL for this.
Do you know how I can use or generate an ICX_TICKET in runtime? My user will have an active Oracle Application screen opened along with web page. He want to navigate to Oracle Apps screen from Web page. Hopes this makes the requirement more clear.
Thanks for your time,
Aneesh

Hi Helios,
I have identified a function to generate ICX_ticket. By appending this ticket, I am able to open the Oracle Apps screen. Now, is there in implication on the security side, if I go ahead this way?
Function
fnd_gfm.one_time_use_store(icx_sec.GetSessionCookie(CZ_CF_API.ICX_SESSION_TICKET),300,'FORMS_APPLET')
Anyways, I am raising an SR as u suggested.
Thank you,
Aneesh
