screen-scraper public support

Hey,

I have 64bit distribution of linux (Slackware) with multilib support for 32bit software. Until now I could run each 32bit soft I tried. But after I start screen scraper I get the following error. I tried to use my JRE, by changing the variable inside the shell script. But it is always the same. Please somebody help. Joseph

Hello, to keep things concise I want to scrape Play.com listings. I am willing to spend hours learning if someone could kick me in the right direction!

Please help,
Thanks.

I want to use these extractor patterns
for this url:

http://www.detelefoongids.nl/bg/-/w-hondenschool/1

'preview_~@hondenschool@~<
'street-address'>~@adres@~<
'postal-code'>~@postcode@~<
'locality'>~@plaats@~<
'tel'>~@telefoon@~<
'url'> 'mailto:~@email@~'

I have a situation where I want a script to execute on the first pattern match. Using "Once if pattern matches" appears to use the last pattern match. Is there a way to trigger only on the first pattern match? Thanks in advance. - Jeff

I use the replace function:
session.setVariable("WIND",session.getVariable("WIND").replaceAll(",","."));
session.setVariable("city",session.getVariable("city").replaceAll(",","."));
session.setVariable("max",session.getVariable("max").replaceAll(",","."));
session.setVariable("min",session.getVariable("min").replaceAll(",","."));
session.setVariable("temp",session.getVariable("temp").replaceAll(",","."));

but sometime wind variables are empty (the data in the web page is missing) and the program provide me this error:

An error occurred while processing the script: save data

Hi,

im invoking Screenscraper from an external Java Application.
I would like to use session.downloadfile() in my external Application.
Right now, i invoke the RemoteSession and have to use the script in screenscraper, and can only read the DataRecord after the ScrapingSession has finished and all Files are downloaded already.
But i would like to use something like:

boolean result = RemoteSession.downloadfile("
");

while i am reading out the data Record with the links.

Hope you can help me out on this one.

Regards,

Moe

Any one have a CsvWriter "For Dummies" usage explanation?

I updated Scren Scraper Basic from 4.5 to 5 and noticed that the Script tab in scrapeable files disappear.
Why's that? Please help me with that.

Hey

I have a couple problems I can't get past and after playing around with, and comparing with the tutorials, the program crashes ... I GIVE UP!

I'd like to move past these bumps and start to enjoy SS.. so I'll send $20 via paypal to whomever can solve my problems.

Problem 1) I'm trying to scrape bing searches of wikipedia (site:wikipedia.org *keyword), and I was suggested to use the following script to get past the intervals of 10 with bing pages:

makeNum(num)
{
if (num!=null)
{
num = String.valueOf(num);
num = num.replaceAll("\\D", "");

Just wanted to quickly ask if Google has some way of scrambling it's html output so that screen scraping is difficult. I've been having trouble reliably matching patterns. I've spent a good few hours trying to figure out a solution but I thought I should ask someone if I'm being over ambitious.

I'm ready to give up, but I hate giving up!

Many Thanks,

Sebastian
