WebParseTableVLookup Function

Action

Parses HTML tables and stores the content of the specified cell in the provided string. In contrast to the function WebParseTable, the row number is determined dynamically through the content of a search column. A subsequent low-level web function will not return a value until the request has finished.

When verifying/parsing an HTML page that consists of multiple frames, you can specify which frame document to verify/parse by specifying the sFrame parameter. By default, all HTML documents of the HTML page are scanned. This applies to HTML pages that are retrieved through a page-level command like WebPageUrl or WebPageLink.

It is important to know that all parsing and verification functions must be specified before the Web API call for which the response data should be parsed/verified. You can specify multiple parse/verification functions before a Web API call. The order of the parse/verification functions is not relevant (Exception: WebParseDataBound and WebVerifyDataBound using the flag WEB_FLAG_SYNCHRON).
