Stock Indexes

You have to examine the returned data (either look at the page source with a web browser or set a breakpoint after retrieving data into myRetrieve) to figure out the format. The string just before the percentage is

id="yfs_p20_^dji">

,

so to get it you'd want

Code: Select all

if matchtext(myRetrieve, "(?i)yfs_p20_.*" & char 2 to -1 of tStocks & quote & ">([()%0-9,.]+)" , tPercentage) then
    answer "found:" & tPercentage
end if

My guess is that "yfs" is "Yahoo Financial Services".
