Re: Automating search for words in a website using WSH

Tim,

1. http://www.rbl.jp/phishing/ At this website, we will look under today's posting at the top portion (June 6, 2009) for the presence of the organization's names in any forms. If we see any match, we will count the number of occurrences.
2. http://www.fraudwatchinternational.com/phishing/search.php At this page we will select today's date, then select the organization name from the drop down 'target company', then click search. The result will be displayed as "Result Found: [number of occurrence]".
The number of occurrence we will added up from these 2 sites and key in the e-mail as number of increase in phishing detected.
Let me try to get my team member to furnish an example of the e-mail.

Thanks

Sing Chung

If I understand you properly, this is the part where you are having your

not able to get to the URL at all right now?
The URL is fixed (the one I give here is not the actual website, as I can't
give actual address due to confidentiality), the team members have to check

unicodeword5, are just examples I give because I cannot give the actual

Thats fine; but, without specifics, I can only give you you general
answers.

Loading a URL from WSH is easy using Internet Explorer as a COM server.
You can load an Internet Explorer object as:
Wscript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
Can I then pass this count value back to WSH?

Everything is already being done inside of WSH. You are creating the COM
object from WScript (correct spelling, the 'S' should be capitalized
above). Once the COM object is created it acts just like a native object
for whatever language you are using (Javascript, VBscript, Python, etc.)

You can pull the information as I have shown above. The only thing left
is
to scrape the information you want from the page. You have been too vague
for me to help you in parsing out your informaton so you will have to
figure out how to do that yourself.
Vague?? Which is the part not clear? The e-mail is to be sent to Emergency
Center to notify if there is any increase in phishing messages detected that
use the names of this organization. I strongly feel that it is not wise to
manually check against website everyday using human eyes.

It is not that it isn't clear, its that I don't know what the data that you
are trying to pull looks like. I have given you enough information to
download the web page; but, without being able to see a markup example and
that data that you are trying to extract from it, I cannot give you any
ideas as to extract that data. Unless the data is preformated into some
kind of delineated data, XML, etc with stateful metadata; you are probably
going to have to parse the HTML. HTML scraping is very specific to the
page that you are trying to scrape. Without seeing a representative
page that you are trying to extract the data from, I cannot tell you
how to extract it from that page.

I gave you information on how to download that page. Without being able to
see the data, it will then be your responsibility to figure out how to
parse it.
