is there a way to test if parameters were passed before attempting params.get()?

If I run from command line, and I pass any parameter, then attempting params.get("...") either works if that parameter passed or returns null if not.

If I run from command line and pass no parameters at all, or try running script in Screen Scraper workbench by clicking the run button I get > : temp = params .get ( "OldestDate" ) BSF info: null at line: 0 column: columnNo

I searched the FAQ and support forum but could not this issue addressed
:?:
Thanks for any help

Hi there,

Thanks

Hi,

I was wondering how I can get past those security images using Screen-Scraper.

the site I need to scrape has a security feature on a sub page when I do a search. it pops up a random image and i have to enter the text in the image to continue.

I know the program cannot enter this information automatically as the image changes every time, but is there a way to enter the necessary text in manually and then proceed with the processing of the follwing pages?

I'd appreciate any insights you have to get around this problem
