| MENUES AND BUTTONS • New Tab: Each monitor/search project must have it's own tab. Click on New Tab to begin and enter any name you want. • Rename Tab: If you decide on a better or different name click on Rename Tab. • Delete Tab: When you are done with that particular monitor/search project click on Delete Tab. Be careful though, this can't be undone. • Start Refreshing: When you have entered all your settings in the properties panel and are ready to start refreshing and monitoring, click this option. • Stop Refreshing: This will stop the countdown timer and the web page will stop refreshing until you click the Start button. • Browse To: If you have a valid web address in the URL settings, you can click browse to to display the web page in the browser. • View HTML: Use this to see what is going on "behind the scenes." Since Webpage Refresher and Monitor allows you to search against the page's HTML, use this to help determine the best search for your project. • View Raw Text: Use this to see what the page looks like with all the HTML coding removed. Since Webpage Refresher and Monitor allows you to search on the page's rat text, use this to help determine the best search for your project. PROPERTIES WINDOW Main Section • URL: This is the target web page that you want to refresh or monitor. Enter the web page's address just as you would in a web browswer. To ensure that you have entered the web address correctly you can use the "Browse To" button and see if the page loads. • Interval Type: This lets the program know what units of time the numbers in "Lower Interval" and "Upper Interval" properties represent. The three options are Seconds, Minutes, and Hours. • Lower/Upper Interval: Enter a number in each of these that is greater than zero. The number may be the same but Lower can not be greater than Upper. If the numbers are the same then the page will be reloaded only on that time. If there is a range between the numbers then the program will pick a random time between them. Search Section (Registered users only) • Search: Enter the word, phrase, or regular expression search term that the program will look for. For more information on regular expressions go to Microsoft on Regular Expressions • Alert On: The two options here are Match and NonMatch. With Match selected every time the web page loads the program will check to see if the word, phrase, or expression in the Search property exists. If you select NonMatch then the program will check to see if your search does not exist. • Match Against: The two options are are Source and Viewable. Select Source if you want your search to run against the web page's HTML code. Select Viewable if you want your search to search the raw text without the HTML code. • Stop on Match: Set this to True cause the countdown timer to stop when your search causes an alert. Set this to False when you want the page to continue refreshing even though an alert has happend. • On Find: The two options here are MessageBox and RunFile. Select MessageBox when you just want a prompt to display for an alert. Select RunFile to cause the file selected in the Run File property box to execute for the alert. • Run File: Browse to the file that gets executed on an alert. This can be any executable program or any file type and Webpage Refresher and Monitor will run it with that file's defalut program. • Append: Text entered here is added to the file selected in the Run File property box as arguments. You can enter your own text, the replacement tags, or a combination of both. The following text will be replaced automatically by Webpage Refesher: {tab} is replaced by the tab's name, {date} is replaced by the day's date in the following format mm/dd/yyyy, and {time} is replaced by your system's time in this format hh:mm. Note that the tab's name will be surrounded by quotes. |
