## VBA HTML Scraping Error “Object Variable or With Variable not set”

I was following a tutorial of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGw6r5GVA5g&t=2803s made by the WiseOwlTutorials channel and got stuck at a listing procedure he explains at the 36:00 position of the video.

At that point, he starts to explain how to return the video url and name of a video list from a specific category through a iteration method called `Sub ListVideosOnPage(VidCatName As String, VidCatURL As String)` used in another module which loops through all video categories of their website main video page https://www.wiseowl.co.uk/videos (left corner menu list).

When this procedure starts, it goes inside each video category and get the name and url of each video from that category in order to list it on a page which, in that part of the Youtube video cited above, is a debug page. However, the actual WiseOwl Video page is diferente from that when the tutorial video was made.

So, I changed his method a little in order to put the correct elements on the debbugin page, as shown below:

``````Sub ListVideosOnPage(VidCatName As String, VidCatURL As String)

Dim XMLReq As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP60
Dim HTMLDoc As New MSHTML.HTMLDocument

Dim VidTables As MSHTML.IHTMLElementCollection
Dim VidTable As MSHTML.IHTMLElement
Dim VidRows As MSHTML.IHTMLElementCollection
Dim VidRow As MSHTML.IHTMLElement

XMLReq.Open "GET", VidCatURL, False
XMLReq.send

If XMLReq.Status <> 200 Then
MsgBox "Problem" & vbNewLine & XMLReq.Status & " - " & XMLReq.statusText
Exit Sub
End If

HTMLDoc.body.innerHTML = XMLReq.responseText
'get the table element in each video category found by other module
'VidTables tag added by me to get the new element on the WiseOwl website
Set VidTables = HTMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("table")
'loop starts to search for row and link tags on the current table
For Each VidTable In VidTables
Set VidRows = VidTable.getElementsByTagName("tr")
For Each VidRow In VidRows
Debug.Print VidRow.innerText, VidRow.getattribute("href") 'objetc variable not set error happpens here
Next VidRow
Next VidTable
End Sub
``````

I found a way to circumvent this `Object Variable or With Variable not set` error by changing the code inside vidrow loop, adding a manual index to the code to get only the first link in each row:

``````       For Each VidTable In VidTables
Set VidRows = VidTable.getElementsByTagName("tr")
For Each VidRow In VidRows
Index = 0
If Index = 0 Then
Index = Index + 1
End If
Next VidRow
Next VidTable
``````

But, in the turorial video referenced above, the instructor doesnt get this error when he codes indexes in the way shown below:

``````        VidLink = VidRow.getElementsByTagName("a")(0)
Debug.Print VidRow.innerText, VidRow.getattribute("href")
``````

So my question is how do I get these object variable not set errors and in the tutorial video the instructor doesnt? Looks like the same code to me, with each element defined in the right way and a much more efficient way to code then using if’s. Could anyone more used to VBA please help with an answer this? Maybe I missing something.

## How can I make texdoc(1) recognize it’s configuration file instead of the environment variable?

I am using TeX Live 2018 on Debian GNU/Linux.
The texdoc(1) command’s configuration files are:

``````\$ texdoc --files
/opt/tug/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/scripts/texdoc/texdoclib.tlu 3.0
Configuration files are:
active  ~/opt/tug/texlive/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
active  /opt/tug/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
Recommended file(s) for personal settings:
~/opt/tug/texlive/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
``````

The contents of the personal configuration file `~/opt/tug/texlive/texdoc/texdoc.cnf` is:

``````\$ cat ~/opt/tug/texlive/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
viewer_pdf = (nohup \${PDFVIEWER:-xpdf} %s) 2> /dev/null &
\$ echo \$PDFVIEWER
mupdf
``````

I expected that the texdoc(1) command will open a PDF file like that:

``````(nohup mupdf /opt/tug/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/doc/support/texdoc/texdoc.pdf) 2> /dev/null &
``````

However, when I set the environment variables `\$PDFVIEWER`, texdoc(1) command uses it, and ignores the personal configuration file.

``````\$ texdoc --debug=config texdoc
texdoc debug-version: /opt/tug/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/scripts/texdoc/texdoclib.tlu version 3.0
texdoc debug-config: Setting 'debug_list=config' from command line option "--debug".
texdoc debug-config: Setting 'viewer_pdf=mupdf' from environment variable "PDFVIEWER".
[...]
texdoc debug-config: Ignoring 'viewer_pdf=(nohup \${PDFVIEWER:-xpdf} %s) 2> /dev/null &' in file "~/opt/tug/texlive/texdoc/texdoc.cnf" on line 1.
[...]
texdoc info: View command: mupdf "/opt/tug/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/doc/support/texdoc/texdoc.pdf"
``````

How can I make the texdoc(1) command recognize the value of `viewer_pdf` in it’s personal configuration file instead of the environment variable `\$PDFVIEWER`?

Thanks.

## Issues using a variable to get a image in batch

I was trying to make a batch file that would create a random number between 1 and 13 and get the file called “[random number].jpg”, but it isn’t working.

The code:

```````SET /A rand=%RANDOM% * 13 / 32768 + 1
IF NOT EXIST "IMGS%rand%.jpg" (
pause
EXIT
)`
``````

The output:
`ERR: File " 6.jpg " not found`

Any thoughts on why it’s doing this?

## Absolute convergence of a random variable in a countable space

I am reading Jacod and Protter’s Probability Essentials and I am struggling to understand the following string of inequalities:

where $$L^1$$ is the space of real valued random variables on ($$Omega$$, $$A$$, $$P$$) for $$sigma$$-algebra $$A$$ and probability measure $$P$$. Note that in this chapter, $$A$$ is defined s.t. $$A$$=$$2^Omega$$ for a countable $$Omega$$.

Specifically, I do not understand why the expecation would be “bifurcated” in to the sum of the two subsets of the image of $$omega$$ such that $$lvert X( omega) rvert <1$$ and $$lvert X( omega) rvert ge 1$$.

## Analysis of Multiple Count Dependent Variable and Multiple Binary Independent Variable

I am wondering if Point Biserial Correlation is applicable for multiple binary independent variables and a dependent count variable. I have read how it was derive for a two variable system of one dependent and one independent, and I have extended it to cover multivariable, and wondering if such is an applicable form, or are there any additional assumptions that I should make that will change everything.

Here is the output of my extension:

$$frac{overline{X}_{Catergory_{1}=1}-overline{X}_{Caterogry_{1}=0}}{s_{N}} sqrt{frac{N_{Category_{1}=1}N_{Catergory_{1}=0}}{N^{2}}}+ frac{overline{X}_{Catergory_{2}=1}-overline{X}_{Caterogry_{2}=0}}{s_{N}} sqrt{frac{N_{Category_{2}=1}N_{Catergory_{2}=0}}{N^{2}}}+frac{overline{X}_{Catergory_{3}=1}-overline{X}_{Caterogry_{3}=0}}{s_{N}} sqrt{frac{N_{Category_{3}=1}N_{Catergory_{3}=0}}{N^{2}}}+……$$

Now, what if I have multiple count dependent variable and multiple binary independent variables, will the assumptions of MANCOVA still apply? Are there any other statistical methods that can be used for the said condition?

## C# – Run multiple methods with custom variable

I know my title is quite confusing
Here’s what I plan on doing –

I use cases to run different loops – (different class)Commands.runningmodule = “GoogleSearchLoop”

If there’s a problem, I restart the loop from the method it is running at –
runningmodule(“Page/Proxy issue detected! Restarting”)

I have multiple loops/methods using multiple commands/methods so I can’t just do [GoogleSearchLoop(“Page/Proxy issue detected! Restarting”)]

The problem I have is I don’t know how to call a specific loop because I don’t know what to assign [runningmodule] as.

## PHP Variable “Templates”?

I’ve found similar questions to this but none as direct. Say I have an HTML file containing an undefined PHP variable like so:

``````Template.html:

``````

And a PHP file that defines that variable and reads in the HTML file like:

``````Index.php:

``````

If I echo the \$page variable the output will still be:

``````Processed Template.html:

``````

Rather than:

``````Expected Template.html:

``````

I’ve tried using escape character quotes like:

``````Alternative Template.html:

``````

To no avail. Am I looking over something obvious? Is this an example of the “variable variable” problem?

## Absolute value of a random variable

I have never encountered this concept before. Is this equation valid for \$y>0\$?

\$\$mathbb{P}(|X|>y) = mathbb{P}(-|X|

\$\$mathbb{P}(|X|>y) = mathbb{P}(X>y) + mathbb{P}(X<-y)\$\$

## Solving for variable with Gamma and Exponential Function

I am trying to solve for the `dl` parameter knowing all the remaining variables and as `t->Infinity` or very large number

``````m = 1.000001; a = 0.566837276858827; q1 = 35931.22171;
(E^(dl+a dl^(-1+m) Gamma[1-m,dl]-a dl^(-1+m) Gamma[1-m,dl t]) q1)/a ==25000
``````

Mathematica responds with unsolvable with methods available. All variables are positive (\$>0\$).

Is there anyway to simplify this equation? Only real values are of interest.
