This is something that is new to me and I have no understanding of the options.
I have considered using Run Rev to get the 4 additional numbers in zip codes.
At the site
http://scikits.com/lookup.html (or http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/welcome.jsp)
one can enter an address such as 123 Broad St, 95959 and receive a reply:
123 BROAD ST NEVADA CITY CA 95959-2623
But the web site that offers this results is listed as:
http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/zip4_responseA.jsp
Needless to say, there is no web site for every address.
So there appears to be no option to simply call up a web site and parse the results. It seems that the only option would be able to Write to a web site (at least to site which present this option) as well as Read from the site. Seems unlikely.
Does Run Rev offer any options in this circumstance?
I'm not sure if I understand what you want to do. You can use the post command to use the url described above. This basically emulates the form submission of the webpage. (You have to look through the raw source of the webpage to find the necessary form field values.) For example, the following script uses your example address to put the webpage normally returned into field 1.
on mouseUp put empty into field 1
put "Selection=" & 1 after tQuery
put "&" after tQuery
put "address1=" & urlEncode("123 BROAD ST") after tQuery
put "&" after tQuery
put "zipcode=" & 95959 after tQueryput "http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/zip4_responseA.jsp"; into tUrl
post tQuery to url tUrl
if the result <> empty then
answer the result
else
set the htmltext of field 1 to it
end ifend mouseUp
Cheers Dave
