lockup bug?
I created an Extractor Pattern to catch the entire page (contents: ~@THEPAGE@~) to use during troubleshooting. If I can save the page, then I can tell if it caught all of the relevant information from it).
Screen-Scraper locked up after hitting Apply Pattern to Last Scraped Data.
Actually, it didn't really lockup. I can still do some things, but the cursor is always an hour glass (except when I mouseover something that changes it, like a textbox). And I never saw the window that tells me that the extractor pattern is taking too much time, nor the data that I want.
I'm really just letting you guys know the flaw, no response is necesarily needed, unless you have a suggestion to get the results I was looking for... :D
Thanks,

Sorry, my mistake on this one--this method has been available as of version 2.6, so you don't need to upgrade to the latest pre-release to get it.
Best,

Hi Dave,
There actually is a way to do this in the latest pre-release version of screen-scraper. You won't find it documented on our web site because we haven't yet released it in a public version.
First, you'll want to upgrade to the latest pre-release version. To do this you may need to open the "Settings" dialog box and check the "Allow upgrading to unstable versions" checkbox. Once that's done select "Check for updates" from the options menu.
Once you've upgraded you can use this method to have screen-scraper save out the entire contents of the scraped file
scrapeableFile.saveFileOnRequest( "c/myfiles/scraped_file.htm" );
Feel free to reply back if that doesn't seem to do the trick.
Kind regards,
Todd Wilson
