Retrieve information from internet into Lookout

Is there any way to retrieve data from a website into a Lookout object?
For example there are websites that post tables of data, presuming that
I would have the appropriate information (url, field, etc), I would
like to read some of this data into one or more Lookout objects, such
as an expression. If not, is there an alternative solution, such as
retrieving the data into another program, and using DDE or some other
path to get the data into Lookout? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Fadi,
You should be able to use the DataSocket Object for this.  Please see the following post by yours truly  : 
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=190&message.id=1176
You will use 'HTTP' instead of the 'file,' obviously.  You will very likely (I didn't test this) get raw source for the web page (HTML/script, etc.). 
Alternatively, and theoretically at least, you should be able to use the IE ActiveX Control as well. 
Hope this gives you some ideas.

    you should change to request.getParameter("itemType").
    or just System.out.print the itemType to see it got the value.
    Hope it helps.

  • How to Retrieve data from database into another form ?

    Good Day!
    Am currently new at JSP. I've been studying it for awhile and still getting the hang of it. We are working on a project.
    Editing a given data. We have to retrieve the given data and post it to another form "Editing form".
    Since we can retrieve data using JSP but how are we going to post it to another form? I mean how are we going to transfer data from one form to another?
    Can anyone help me with codes please..

    The client is a web browser.
    The client submits a request (click a link, visit a form)
    The server gets to respond to this
    - look at request parameters from the client
    - access database
    - produce resulting html page
    - send page back to client.
    The standard pattern is to retrieve data from the database in java code, and then load that data into a bean.
    You then make that bean available as an attribute
    It is then available for use in your JSP - either <jsp:useBean> tag or using ${ELexpressions}
    All you can pass from the client to the server is request parameters - which are always strings.
    Draw a picture of where the information is, and the information flows. Very rarely does it go directly from one "form" to another.
    Cheers,

  • How to retrieve information from iCloud (earlier than the 3 most recent backups) ?

    I had to restore my iPod 4th generation to factory settings and I'm trying to get all the information back from iCloud backup. The thing is that I had waited about a week or two(instead of right away) to try to put the information back into the iPod. And when I restored it again(for the second time) it only had the choice of retrieving informaiton from the 3 most recent iCloud backups but those were too recent for the information I wanted to get back. Is there any way, ANY WAY AT ALL that I can get access to earlier iCloud backups? Like maybe all the iCloud backups that have happened so far?
    I've done some research and it doesn't say there is a way but there doesn't seem to be a lot of people with this problem. :(  Please if you know a way, let me know.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, you cannot go back further than the three backups that you already have.

  • How to retrieve information from server?

    Hi,
    I'm currently working on a project, which is implemented with JSP. The function of the JSP is to connect to different servers within the Intranet(IP address already known) and get database list & file list residing on each server. And then compose all those information into a table, and display them in JSP. I just wonder how can I connect to those server? Can I just set up a socket client? Once the connection between servers has been setup, how can I retreive information from server? Are there any reference I can use? Thank you very much for your considerations.
    Myra

    Actually, I need extract some information from the file, and those files are on the server. In this case, do you think I should use FTP client to visit server? The server is running with Weblogic.

    Hello Everyone,
    I could use some help with an idea that I have been working on. I basically am looking for a way to capture information from desktops and get that data into a SQL database. Could anyone give me any links, kb articles, etc on how I can go about doing this?
    Any help would be very appreciated
    Thanks :)

    Powershell is the tool for you. If you could please move this post to powershell; you should get better response.  I almost certain that there are already some powershell scripts that does this, or at least will give you a report or a excel\csv file
    with this information.
    once you have that info you import that data into sql and sql server agent jobs you can automate. 
    Below are some of the resources :

  • Retrieving data from database into tabular layout item

    Hi..
    If the number of product_id is 1; I can retrieve data from the database into tabular layout item.However, if the number of product_id is more than 1 error message is shown.
    Here is my code:
    select product_id
    into : PRODUCTS. ID --Tabular layout item
    from products
    where customer_id=5;
    Any suggestions????

    It's simpler to do so:
    insert that code in a post-query trigger at block level (block where is multi-item)
    You will see after execute-query, your item will be populated.

    I've chrooted into it and undid everything and yet it doesn't change anything. I've uninstalled splashy and v86d, reedited the conf files to their original form. Perhaps there is some modifications that I am not aware of that happened during the installation. Packages I installed were splashy-full, v86d, and 915resolution-static which I have all removed. Files I've modified include rc.conf, mkinitcpio.conf, /boot/grub/menu.lst, and uvesafb.conf. Aside from pacman I ran the command mkinitcpio -p kernel26

  • Help with retrieving emails from Gmail into Mail

    Help! I'm helping my mom with her computer and her hard drive died (not backed up of course). She has a new hard drive now and I am importing her emails from her Gmail account into Mail. It worked great importing all the emails that she has since July 15th (the last time she retrieved mail from her Gmail account). If I go into Gmail through Safari I can she has hundreds more emails prior to this date still on their servers but they didn't download into Mail. I presume this is because Gmail knows they have been downloaded once before (to her old dead hard drive), but how do I get around this so all of her emails can be imported into Mail? The only copies are on the Gmail servers.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Scott

    Okay, then let's try this:
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. Go to Home/Library/Mail and remove (don't copy and don't empty the Trash) the POP mailbox.
    3. Go to Home/Library/Preferences and remove the com.apple.mail.plist file.
    4. Restart Mail, setup your POP account again and it should connect to Gmail and download all the messages. If it does, then you can delete the file and folder you previously removed.

  • How can you retrieve information from a iCloud backup on a previous iPhone? Backup from old phone is taking up a lot of space, would like to save pics to computer before deleting. How can I open up the backup from previous phone that is now on the iCloud?

    I originally had an iPhone 4 but switched service carriers back in June.  When I bought the new iPhone 4s, all my information from the iPhone 4 was saved as a backup on the iCloud.  On my new phone in the iCloud settings, Storage & Backup, it shows the backup from the iPhone 4.  This backup is taking up a lot of space on my phone and I would like to delete to avoid having to purchase more space.  However, I know I have pictures on this backup from the iPhone 4 that I would like to view and save on my computer if at all possible before deleting.  Is it possible to view the photos from this backup? If so, how? Thank you in advance for any assistance.  I hope this makes sense, lol, I'm not very computer literate.

    Unfortunately with the issues I mentioned above I don't even think I have enough space for that on the computer!  I have literally moved all moy pictures, music, etc. to another drive and all that's left are some small docs and applications.  I don't know how to find any more space on the thing and can't get things updated until I fix this...
