Hi all,

First, SS is a great program! thank you!

hi guys,

I'm trying with the Trial version of SS Enterprise Edition .
And found this very useful function in ss called "The Web Interface"
http://community.screen-scraper.com/web_interface

however, when i testing it i always got a error message when ss trying to insert data as

"error while trying to connect - java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified"

-the server model had started, the small logo on the right coner
-i have odbc.jdbc driver manager installed
-i have source name invoked

I have one question that screen scraper does not support pattern where div directly called without any table or tr or td. So does screen scraper support div pattern or not? Any extra thing we have to install for div support. Thanks

Has anyone managed to succesfsfully configure Screen-Scraper+Fiddler in order to let Fiddler listenr to the activity on the Screen-scraper Proxy Server?

This is a great tool for watching requests/responses with QueryString/POST data cleraly displayed.

Hello,

I'am from Germany and I'am using SS for extratcting Data from a german Site. Unfortunaly I have to use Post-Paramaters wich contain the special european charakters like "ä, ü, ö" etc.

I read the Parameters from a main Site, and if I write them to a File they apear correct in the File. But when I try to use the Parameters for getting Detailpages SS post not these charakters, it uses an String of 2 or three other charakters instead of the special Charakter. Within these Parameters there is no useable result from the Page.

Does anybody knows how to fix this?

Hi,

I've just downloaded screen-scraper and before I purchase a licence I want to ensure it does what I believe it will.

I want to create a stock check site and this site needs to actually add the product to the basket before it reports whether it's in stock or not:

http://www.next.co.uk/shot.asp?b=X42&p=20018&s=4&n=Homeware&pid=423-578&...

I am new to screenscraping, and have limited knowledge of HTML, no knowledge of scripts/Java, etc. I need help creating an extractor pattern for the following:

I have multiple web pages.
Each web page contains a single table.
Every table is exactly the same [format] on each page; only the data in the table cells change.
Each table contains a different amount of rows (i.e., page 1 table has 5 rows, page 2 has 46 rows, etc.)
Each row in each table constitutes a single record.

I am attempting to export a valid scrape from Screen-Scraper Professional 4.0. The resulting document is named appropriately, but has a file size of Zero KB - which is obviously incorrect.

Does anyone have a suggestion to resolve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

The pages that I am trying to scrape have a userID that consists of a series of hex codes (e.g. %25%26....).

I can capture the userID accurately in a session variable - no problem.

But when I try to use the session variable in a scraping request, the variable is converted to %2525%2526 in the url - in other words, the encoded hex url ends up being double-hex-encoded!

How can I work around this?

THANKS!

Hello!

I am a beginner to screen scraper. I am trying to scrape an asp page. I followed the instruction from Tutorial 2 to make the Next link but I have obtained recursively the same page.

Example: I have one variable called PAGE. When the PAGE variable changes and have the value 3, the link for the next page remains always the same (...Results.aspx?Page=2). Please help me.
Regards,
Roxi
