screen-scraper public support
The simplest newbie question
I've followed the tutorial for Hello World and have managed to apply a pattern to a page with many email addresses (that's what I want to extract). I know the pattern and it is only working on the first instance of an email address encountered. Soooooo.... here is the dumb question.... how do you get the script or program to repeat itself over and over again on the same page of data to extract more than one occurrence of the pattern?
I would think this is an obvious question after using the Hello World tutorial but I cannot find the answer.
Thanks!
Scraping javascript results
I'm looking to log the football results on http://www.livescore.com/. If I display the page in a browser and use "View Source", I can see the required results without problems. However, when running the same page through screen-scraper's proxy, I get a body consisting og just question marks.
can I programmatically click multiple links on same page
I'm able to get to a secure page thru screen-scraper, but when I get there, it has many links that dynamically expand the content on that page. For example, if there are 20 links, I need to click all 20 in order to show the final content to be scraped from that page.
Is this possible? tia
Newbie: Global objects in scripts
I realize this is probably a very simple question, but I have searched the forums to no avail. I would like to accomplish these steps:
1. Open the file, write some header information
2. For each pattern application, write the result
3. Close the file
I thought I could do this with three scripts, one for each step, each with a different "When to run" setting.
Can't get 3.0 scrape to work in 4.0
Hi,
I'm trying to scrape a file that looks essentially like this:
24-March-2008 DATA1 1000<br />
24-March-2008 DATA2 500<br />
24-March-2008 DATA3 5<br />
23-March-2008 DATA1 1200<br />
23-March-2008 DATA2 400<br />
23-March-2008 DATA3 13<br />
22-March-2008 DATA1 900<br />
...
In version 3.0, I was able to set up a variable for a specific date before scraping the file
Importing 'Get' parameters from a list
Greetings! I am currently evaluating SS to make sure it meets our needs before purchasing. We need to satisfy 3 requirements with our scraping software. So far, I've completed one of the three and I'm working on the second.
Its a very simple concept, we want to use SS to evaluate new keywords for our paid search program. To do this we need to search our site and return the number of products matched and the categories of those products. This information is readily available on the search results page, but I'm running into trouble with forming the searches.
tutorial 1 hangs, then screen-scraper gui disappears
installed ss basic on win xp pro, running thru tutorial 1 fine, until end when time to write .txt file, using VBscript. Seemed to hang for about a minute, then application disappeared! No text file written to disk, but it did write to an error log called "hr_err_pid2344.log...
Help with nulls and appending files
I adapted the scrape from tutorial 3 to scrape a site for me. It works well, but not quite right.
Some of the extractor patterns do not find data (it's not there on all of the details pages to be scraped) and the tokens end up being null. The nulls somehow mess up my write-data-to-a-file script, and I end up missing the data from about 1 in 6 scrapes.
How can I change the content of the tokens to "NA" if they are null?
