Writing value from parent file after scraping child file
Excellent product. I am just having trouble with a particular pair of linked extraction patterns. There is a value in the first file that is scraped (the parent) that I wish written to the file created when scraping the second file (the child), because otherwise I can find no way to associate the resulting records in my database later as parent-and-child. (Normally I use the parent URL for this, but that does not work in this particular case.) I am saving the value from the parent file in a Session Variable, but it is always written as NULL, as though it has been "forgotten." Any advice? Thank you!

Thanks!
What you describe is
What you describe is perfectly reasonable, and we do it often. Therefore I suspect the problem to be some innocuous little error that slipped in. I think I would need to see your code to offer any help.
Session variable needed from parent
Sorry, I neglected to add that it is session variable SITE_ID that I am trying to write to the file after scraping the child file.
