possible to get url where ss is redirected to

Hi,

In the scraper log file you often see a redirection like this:

Getting content of a scrapeable file

I want to call scrapeableFile.extractData( String text, String name ) where text is the HTML and name is a particular extractor pattern. So I want the HTML content of a particular scrapeable file to pass as the text parameter.

I don't want to scrape this file by session.scrapeFile( String scrapeableFileIdentifier ) because that would invoke the extractor patterns I have created in the GUI in a sequence I don't want thus the reason I'm using a script (to control when each extractor pattern runs).

session and RunnableScrapingSession objects

Hello,

I have a script (written inJava) starting like this:

 // Creates a new runnable session for the scraping session "ABC".<br />
runnableScrapingSession = new com.screenscraper.scraper.RunnableScrapingSession&#40; "ABC" &#41;;<br />
<br />
// Start the scraping session.<br />
runnableScrapingSession.scrape&#40;&#41;;<br />
<br />
session.scrapeFile&#40; "req 2" &#41;;

However I get the following error:

[quote]Error Message:

move license to another workstation

Hello,

Our company has bought 1 license of the screenscraper professional edition and that's running on our devServer. Now my code should move to the live environment and thus the screenscraper needs to be running at another server. I don't need it anymore on the devServer. Can I do this move without the need to buy a new license ?

Bye,

SS Freezes using proxy server

I'm having a very difficult problem. Everything works fine if I'm not using the proxy, but when I do use the proxy, I can't get past a certain point.

Starting at this webpage with the proxy server on:

http://aasld2007.abstractcentral.com/planner.jsp

there is a link that says OPEN / CREATE. When I click on it SSPro locks up and freezes, and the web page never comes up.

Please help.

Thanks,

If Then Statement when outputting data

Hi all...

Using VBScript how can I make this conditional:

' Write out the data to the file.
objEMEFile.Write DataRecord.Get( "CATID" ) + vbTab
objEMEFile.Write DataRecord.Get( "MODEL" ) + vbTab

IF DATARECORD.GET("LP") IS NOT EMPTY THEN
objEMEFile.Write DataRecord.Get( "LP" ) + vbTab
ELSE
WRITE DATARECORD.GET("LP") = NULL

Hope that makes sense?
