Website form data

I am a newbie. I need to enter data into a website form and then parse the html data. I have seen some examples, but they don't work on my LabView 2013. Can someone help me enter form data into a website?

Hi,

 

YOu can parse data using web services functions. Try to use webservice functions under connectivity--> Web services.

Thanks and Regards

I apologize for not being clear. My question is about sending input data to a website. Once the data is entered into the website,I can parse subsequent html.

Hi Harry,

 

How exactly do you want to connect to the website that you are trying to add data to?  Here is a previous forum post that gives a couple of different options for making a connection:

If you are trying to edit content within the HTML, this is a very handy tool that allows you to look between tokens so you can edit text easier:

Hope this helps,

Nick,

Thank you. The link with this sample vi looks like it will address my need, however the wires are broken when I load them into LV 2013. I have the Internet Toolkit loaded. I am using LabVIEW for Mac. The frst property node has broken wires on the the Address bar, Menu bar and full screen inputs. The Variant to Node vi has a broken wire for the variant input. I am not sure it the problem is LabVIEW for mac, LabVIEW 2013 or a missing toolkit....
