in thread IE & File Open

OK, sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is "args" in the line

$ie->click_button( %args )

I found this within the code on the website you mentioned. I have looked it up within the search function, but so far no luck as to a description.

Thanks

    Its arguments are a list of key/value pairs. Only one of name, number,
+ or value must be specified.

    * name => name

      Clicks the button named name.
    * number => n

      Clicks the nth button in the form.
    * value => value

      Clicks the button with the value value.

      Hi Again ikegami,

      I saw this script, but it doesn't tell me how to incorporate it into my code. Below is the code that I have if that helps you:

      use strict;
use Win32::OLE;

my ($brio, $Process);
#$brio = '//163.10.50.33/planning/logistics/programs/B_Chicago_wip_que
+ry.bqy';
$brio = 'D:\\Chicago wip query.bqy';

my $ie = Win32::OLE->new("InternetExplorer.Application") or die "Can't
+ start IE\n";
$ie->{visible} = 1;

#$ie->navigate("http://www.perlmonks.org");

$ie->{visible} = 1;

sleep 3;

$ie->navigate($brio);

sleep 5;

$ie->click_button(value => 'Process');

      I am sorry if this is too newbie of a question, I am just trying to figure out how to fit it in. Also, I know it is going to give me a pop-up window that is going to ask me for a password, so I may need more help there as well. Thank you for your help.

      Regards,
      Portree

        That looks like it should work. What's the problem?
