Forums Scripts & Popups sockets, 3 lines down

Hey. Im working with sockets and trying to get 2 pieces of text from a site. One is distinguishable in the html, so i can use if(*blah* iswm %blah). But the other isnt, however it will always be 3 lines down from the first item. Sow how can i get the 1st item, then get the text 3 lines down from it?

$readn + 3? That would work if you were using $read. Now that I think about it more, you probably don't have this in a text file. That's one possibility though.

The only thing I can think of (and I know this probably isn't the greatest), is to read the site storing into a text file, then use $read to find your "fixed" data, and $calc($readn + 3) to find your second piece.

What do you mean by 'it's 3 lines down'? Do you mean that one sockread will return the recognizable text, and then 3 sockreads later the desired text will be sent? If that's the case, then you just need to use a simple variable counter.


(untested)

If this doesn't work with your situation, then you need to provide more information (an example).
