That code works fine, even with the remarked areas as is, if the information that I want is on the first page from the website, however, there's a chance that it might not be, in which case I want to check all other pages until it comes across a match (presuming that there is a match). The remarked code is what I came up with, but it doesn't seem to work, as I've tested it with data that would be on the second of two pages, and the match isn't coming up. I'm not getting any error messages either.

Sample data to the site Smith, B in Sarnia, ON

Specific address that I was using for test purposes: 1423 Windemere Cres

Hopefully someone can correct my code so that the information is read correctly, no matter what page the site puts it on (site only puts 10 listings per page).

I would also appreciate an explanation of the changes that are made.

I know that part of the problem is getting the value for %search_id correct. It appears the location that I'm referencing is incorrect.

Edited: %search_id now returning correct value

Above,

GREEN = changes I made for testing purposes only. The above code will work without the dialog. Type /find.a.person and it will echo the result in the status window.

RED = Added brackets. These missing backets may or may not have affected the operation, but they are in good coding style.

BLUE = The main problems with the code. Explanation of the problems:

I changed this code: findap $+ %page to this: $(findap $+ %page) in the second SOCKOPEN and SOCKREAD events. You need the $() to evaluate the $+ and %page in an event.

And I changed this code: if !%match && !%pages to this: if ((!%match) && (%pages)) in the last elseif of each SOCKREAD event. The problem was the !%pages part. That line basically said, IF <there is no match> AND <there are no other pages> search the next page.

I hope that helps you. wink

Thanks for the assistance, and it almost works perfectly..however, when I run it with the rest of my dialog, rather than as a stand alone, I get the following in my status window
Quote:
(519) 542-0612
0Windemere%20C


I changed your
echo -s did -ra Observer 15 %nc to
echo -s %nc
did -ra Observer 15 %nc


In theory, I think, it should've stopped as soon as it had the first match (the phone number), but obviously it didn't.

I don't have your dialog, so I can't seem to duplicate your error. However, I did notice an error that I had missed in the code. In the second SOCKREAD event, there is this command twice:

/sockclose findap

Since that SOCKREAD event is watching for findap# socket events, the socket needs to be closed one of these ways:

/sockclose findap*
or
/sockclose findap $+ %page

Try that change and see if it helps.

Is it possible that some other portion of the code is producing the extra echo line? Using the exact code as above, I'm not seeing the extra echo. Maybe unload the main script, and make a new one only using the above code.

Also, there is another instance of the /sockclose findap that you didn't fix:

Code:
if ($+(*,%street.num,*,%apt,*,%street.name,*) iswm %nc) {
  var %nc = $right(%nc,20)
  var %nc = $left(%nc,14)
  echo -s %nc
  did -ra Observer 15 %nc
  set %match found
  [color:red]sockclose findap[/color]
}

That was the problem...missed fixing that one close, so the socket wasn't closing properly
