Monitoring changes in URL

Post by Robasso »

Hi,
I recently started using Robotask and I love it! But I have a little question: I use Robotask to go to a specific website, type in the name of a file, perform a search and the extract a type of log file to another program. Now, this works beautifully in a file loop ... as long as there aren't any mistakes in the file names. Because when there is a small error  in the file name, the search will give "no results" and everything fails from that point on.
What I'd like to do is monitor the URL of the web page on which the search is performed so that in case of "no results", the program can skip the current file (and move it, change the file name to "error" or whatever) and continue with the next one.
 
Could you help out?
Thanks
Rob

Maybe a little addition: I guess it could be done by going to the adress bar, copying, reading out the clipboard and comparing it to a string that would indicate the "no results" message. But I'd like to know if there is an easier way.
Thanks
