How to extract only links finished by extensions .swf ?

Post by hackoo »

Hi ;)
I wonder how to extract only links finished by extensions .swf from the source code of a web page and save them on text file in order to download them after ?
So i just have this code :
PowerShell Code
Double-click the code block to select all.
$ie = new-object -ComObject InternetExplorer.Application
$ie.Navigate2('http://www.addictinggames.com/car-games/moto-x3m-game.jsp')
while($ie.Busy){}
$ie.Document.links|select href

We would use this to parse a page:
PowerShell Code
Double-click the code block to select all.
$doc=Invoke-WebRequest http://www.addictinggames.com/car-games/moto-x3m-game.jsp
$doc.links|?{$_.href -match '\.jsp'}|select href
I used .jsp because that page has no SWF links on it.

You need PowerShell V3 (WMF3) or later to use that.

No there is no "work-around" if the link is on another page or is synthetic then you cannot get it. Many web designers do this to prevent what you are doing. Others do it so the links can be changed in a database without having to change the page. ASP.Net pages are also like this. You cannot predict any instance of a page.

I am not saying it Is impossible but that you have to figure it out on a case by case basis. That is why they pay big bucks to people who know how to do this. I cannot teach you how to do it. It comes from knowing and having experience with web coding and design as well as many hours of screen scraping. It is mostly an art backed by a broad skillset. It cannot be taught in an afternoon.
