C++ and the Internet

[aanthonyz]

Is it possible to make a C++ program that will receive information and then search it in google or youtube?

[Hell_Demon]

Obviously not.

It really isn't too difficult to do only that retreaving information from more complex websites in that manner could be a little difficult. Check to see if they offer an API to do whatever you want to achieve.

Otherwise you need to construct a basic http client - .Net has a perfect WebClient class for this. However, writing an http client for these purposes isn't too difficult either. You would need to implement the HTTP protocol which is not too difficult only that parsing the headers in a safe and compatible manner can be a pain without access to a text-parsing engine such as regex.

It's not a troll, it's sarcasm :)

You mean a search engine?

More like posting to a search engine and formatting the results

Yes.. you can have it open up internet then Google (errr w/e...).

Then make it something like If https://Google.com.Opened = true Then
'Right here you can add a keydown function to type what you want to search... i.e. Textbox1.Text
End If


EDIT: Or For google... you SHOULD do this:

Button1(stuff) 'Search button
"https://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=" + TextBox1.Text + "&aq=f&aqi=g-s5&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&fp=4e1575e2abc51ac9"
End Sub

Basically Most searches go by that format... then it will change the link to w/e. So That will bring you to what you want to search for in TextBox1.

But anyways are you wanting to retrieve info from the internet or The user of the Program then search it ?

[aanthonyz]

Basically, lets say I want to search "BBQ"(I was hungry...)

They would open up my program, type in what they would want and it would then open up a google search page for tacos

Very Much Easy.

You got a problem kid? My first thing was retarded but the second one works (I was giving VB Example... like they can do something like that in c++) . I made a google search engine that way. Have it open up the webpage in default browser:

"https://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=" + TextBox1's Text + "&aq=f&aqi=g-s5&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&fp=4e1575e2abc51ac9"

Because That link searches google. Then the Textbox's Text would be what you search so it does work. Try it if you dont beleive me. Lets say you type in Baseball into textbox. Itll open up browser to google and search Baseball.

Go try it.

EDIT: I am assuming you are using form.

[aanthonyz]

No, this is for my robot. Basically you say "search <whatever" and it will search it in google, I want to know if that is possible by typing it first and it working then I will convert it to speech stuff

[why06]

Lol. Wow HD is on a roll today.

Yeh course it's possible. Seems what ur describing is a browser, though I know ur talking about something else. Point is its very easy to search for stuff.

However if you want to make something that can read info online and search for google automatically, make sure to add a function that will reply back on MPGH with a lmgtfy link, for all the help vampires that don't bother searching.

In fact let me do that right now: Windows Internet (Windows)

No offense anthony, ur not as bad as the others, and it was a legitimate question if a bit naive.
