Extractor patter for option value

Hi all-

Its been awhile since I posted last. I am working on a scrape for customer, but for the life of me I can not figure out the right extractor pattern to use to get the value from

Here is the code

<div class="row selectTruckWrapper "><label for="selectTruckalias" class="left optional">Find by name:</label>

<div class="element"><select name="selectTruckalias" id="selectTruckalias" class="selectTruck autosuggest hiddenIfJsEnabled">
<option value="" label="----------">----------</option>
<option value="sttoroll" label="1st To Roll Industry Catering">1st To Roll Industry Catering</option>
<option value="sphillycheese" label="30sPhilly Cheese">30sPhilly Cheese</option>

You need scrapeableFile.extractData().

Jason Thanks for the hint. I

Thanks for the hint. I tried busing extract data, but no luck. Maybe I am not using it correctly?

Would need to see how you're

Would need to see how you're using it, but a brief overview would be that you have 2 extractor patterns. One isolates the pulldown menu you want. Something like:

<select name="Pulldown_you_want">
~@ALL_OPTIONS@~
</select>

On this extractor you will have a script like:

options = scrapeableFile.extractData(dataRecord.get("ALL_OPTIONS"), "Extractor pattern");

for (i=0; i<options.getNumDataRecords(); i++)
{
dr = options.getDataRecord(i);
option = dr.get("OPTION");
session.setv("OPTION", option);
}

And the last extractor is named "Extractor pattern" (as referenced above), and looks a little like:

So the first patten isolates a block of text, and the script calls the 2nd pattern on only the isolated part of the page.

Does that help?
