Help with a script

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I would like to know if it is possible to create a script that can:

  1. log into a password protected site that sells downloadable stuff for sale
  2. Find the most recent sale
  3. Open an ALERT window that contains the email address of the person that made the purchase
  4. Capture the email address
  5. Email me the email address
  6. Ideally the script should repeat this action maybe 3x per day.

Any ideas?

Maybe. What is the site? Does it have the option for auto log-in (remembers your computer like Macscripter)?

Yes it does. the site is myfonts.com

With auto login enabled you won’t need to deal with item 1; The rest of what you’re trying to do is parse a page for specific info, so I would have to see a sample page… fonts.com is like a maze!

These items will have to be on a page somewhere for you to get the data from:
2. The most recent sale
3. The email address of the person that made the purchase

Parse the HTML text to
4. Capture the name of person & email address

Script Mail to
5. Email the name of person & email address

This part is easy
6. Ideally the script should repeat this action maybe 3x per day.

Is there one page that contains items 2 and 3? Name your browser…

I can email you a screencapture if you send me your email address…

I need the HTML code from the page… to make it into a varible to parse. I logged into the site but I couldn’t find a page that had sales and the purchasers. I would say send me the code, but I’m not sure it would copy exact, and it needs to be exact to parse. Do you have a link?
