Trouble Downloading Images with session.downloadFile
I have been unable to get the session.downloadfile script to work. I am using the professional trial version 2.7.2. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
I have the following as a script:
session.downloadFile( "http://www.hodgesmarine.com/images/express_shipping_jet.jpg", "C:\temp\test.jpg" ));
The log from the scrape session does not show any errors. The error log in the \log\ directory shows the following:
The following error occurred: String index out of range: -2
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -2
at java.lang.String.substring(Unknown Source)

Trouble Downloading Images with session.downloadFile
Hi Tim,
The scripts can be a bit funny about how folder delimiters are handled (it also looks like you have a spare parenthesis tacked on the end). Try changing this:
session.downloadFile( "http://www.hodgesmarine.com/images/express_shipping_jet.jpg", "C:\temp\test.jpg" ));to this:
session.downloadFile( "http://www.hodgesmarine.com/images/express_shipping_jet.jpg", "C:/temp/test.jpg" );Also, you're seeing a big ugly error message because of a bug that we fixed after version 2.7.2 was released. You might consider upgrading to the very latest alpha version of screen-scraper, which has proven to be very stable. You can find instructions on doing that here: [url]http://blog.screen-scraper.com/2006/12/28/version-27223a-of-screen-scraper-available/[/url].
Kind regards,
Todd Wilson
