ImportValue() Function

Imports a string from a web page.

ImportValue(url,start,end)

url - URL of a page to import from. The value of url can also be this. In this case the source of the currently loaded page will be used to import from.
start - starting string
end - ending string

• This function imports all text, including any HTML code between the specified start and end.
  
  
• If the start value is omitted, the start of the file is used. If end is omitted, end is assumed to be the end of the file. This means that Import('http://www.trellian.com',,) would import the entre page.
  
  
• To import integer values, use the ImportInt() function instead.
  
• The start and end values are case sensitive and may include variables.
  
• This function only imports the value it does not set it as the caption. You can do this by using the SetCaption() function on the onchange trigger.
  

This function loads a page and imports all text between the Rank: and the next </td> tag. The onchange trigger is used to set the caption of the button to the imported value.
