    How to get a value from a web page and convert it to a string in AMS

    Hi for my case can I get the value of a h2 title from a website to have it in a variable?



    For example, a web that is structured as follows, how would you capture that word Layout

    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
</head>
<body>

<h2>Layout</h2>
<p>In this example, we have created a header, two columns/boxes and a footer. On smaller screens, the columns will stack on top of each other.</p>
<p>Resize the browser window to see the responsive effect.</p>

</body>
</html>

    Load the HTML into a XML, and use the built-in actions to read the elements as you need.

    Code:
    -- load the HTML from string or via HTTP actions
local sHTML = [[<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
</head>
<body>

<h2>Layout</h2>
<p>In this example, we have created a header, two columns/boxes and a footer. On smaller screens, the columns will stack on top of each other.</p>
<p>Resize the browser window to see the responsive effect.</p>

</body>
</html>]];

-- set the XML from loaded HTML
XML.SetXML(sHTML);

-- extract desired information
local sH2Element = XML.GetValue("html/body/h2");
Dialog.Message("Info", sH2Element);

      Hello, thanks for answering but I mean to get it from the URL. Not loading the HTML manually, something like HTTP.Submit
