How Powershell parse HTMLDocument?

09-27-2007

$htmlDoc= New-Object -com "HTMLFILE"
$page = "<html><body>this is a test</body></html>"
$htmlDoc.write($page)
$htmlDoc.close

but get Type mismatch exception message in
code line : $htmlDoc.write($page)

how to avoid this?

thanks

same time VbScript code can work:
vbscript code:

set htmlDoc= createobject("HTMLFILE")
page = "<html><body>this is a test</body></html>"
htmlDoc.write(page)
htmlDoc.close

I get the answer.

use $htmlDoc |get-member to debug the object method,find a
IHTMLDocument2_write method
so change the code :
$htmlDoc.write($page) to > $htmlDoc.IHTMLDocument2_write($page)

the code could work
