Retreive Information From Internet page/form

[Guest RobJan]

Hi,

 

I´d like have people enter their area code (3 or 4 digits) and home telephonenumber (7 or 6 digits) on their telephonekeypad during their call, and have VoiceGuide go to http://www.gebeld.nl/default.asp?zoek=numm, post the area code en telephonenumber, and retreive the results in the variables "name", "address", "city", "zipcode" and the complete "telephonenumber" (always 10 digits).

Try entering "033" in the "netnummer"field and "4330762" in the "nummer"field, and you´ll see what I mean.

Any clues how to do this?

Greetings from the Netherlands, Rob Jan

Can you pass the parameters to the web page in the http address itself? ie. can you issue something like this:

 

http://www.gebeld.nl/default.asp?zoek=numm...?nummer=4330762

 

That's how the web page interactions are usually done...

the web page would of course need to be designed to accept these arguments, just like it now accepts the "zoek=numm" argument.

Hi, this works now:

 

http://www.gebeld.nl/default.asp?zoek=numm...41&query=412039

where query2=area code and query= home telephonenumber.

So this can work, but how do I program this into Voiceguide and retreive the results as well?

For internet fetching I'd recommend reading through the Internet Portal demo script which ships with VG. That script downloads the info from finance.yahoo.com and then reads out the few values on that web page.

Please see VG's "\Scripts\Internet Portal" subdirectory.

Is this something you could program for me, against what costs?

We could do this if the returned information had some identifying prompts before it like this:

 

Name: Bouwbedrijf Norel De Heer BV Van

Address: Hogeweg 90

City: Harderwijk 3841 KV

Phone: 0341 412039

 

(or even better if there was some embedded XML style info in the returned page)

 

Right now the way the web page returns info is pretty hard to determine where the information is on the web page and what info is what.
