screen-scraper public support

Dear ekiwi employee

I'm using the Enterprise trial version and try to scape a site with encoding cp1251.

However there is no cp1251 in SS the default character set group.
You have list only 10.

Is there anyway to change it ? Or the default font matters with the encoding?

Thanks.

I'm doing a proxy session on the page below. To do a search, you must specify a value in the "Case Type" dropdown. When in a proxy session I click on a value in the drop down and submit the form. The submitted form comes back and I receive the message "Case Type is required". It's a though the proxy session isn't posting the case type value.

I have this following script in the a script file called INSPNEXTLINK. THis script scraps the data from the "Next Page" link.

if( dataSet.getNumDataRecords() > 0 )
{
session.scrapeFile( "Insp Data" );
}

Scrap runs fine for Page 1, but when the "INSPNEXTLINK" script is invoked, it gives me the following error

Hi,

I have a table with three columns (OK, so it is a bit more complicated) which I need to scrape and then call each instance of the link to details, scrape that and write the results to file.

The problem I'm having is that I want to store both the date and the time with the details. There is not always an instance of the date next to the time and link. For example below, date A applies to both link 1 and link 2.

Hi,

I need to extract a UK phone number from a random place in the html response (there is no real patter I can use around the number). I've managed to do this with email addresses but I'm having no luck with UK phone numbers.

I'm basically using

region>~@IGNORE@~ ~@PHONE_NUMBER@~ ~@IGNORE@~

then trying different RegEx formats for the number but with little success.

e.g.

^0\d{2,4}[ -]{1}[\d]{3}[\d -]{1}[\d -]{1}[\d]{1,4}$

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="property_types"

MOB
-----------------------------239882929017590

Can anyone say how i have to send the POST data through screen-scraper.

Thanks in advance,

Hi. I have a scraping session where all scrapable files are set to "Run by a script". Then I have a main script that gets a list of things to search for from a database, and does a loop through each item. When I Stop the session, the loop contines through all remaning items. The same thing happens if I stop the session from the web interface. It doesnt actaully run the scrapable files, because the scrapable files know that it is stopping, however my script does not know it is stopping. [b]Is there a variable I can check in my loop so that I can break out if stop was selected?[/b]

I am new to screen scraping. And i have gone through the tutorials. and i found it is very useful.
