screen-scraper public support

I have a site that I am scraping that runs a quick Javascript cookie test before loading the page and if the javascript fails, it redirects to the no cookie error page. I am pretty sure that the data I want is actually there, but is there a way to make screen-scraper simply not execute the javascript so I can scrape the page?

Hi there-

I have been working with screen scraper for awhile now and LOVE it! Quick question though. I am new to the java language and don't know the correct syntax to use for this. I have a script where I have to change the date variable each day to pull in that days information. Is there a way to write some sort of IIf statement in java so it will go back one day vs me having to change the date each day. Just thought I would ask.

Hello, thanks for a great product.

Is there a way to set the number of reties a scrapesession should try to fetch an URL, before failing?
Can't seem to find a way to set it :-(
Also, is there a way to add some errorhandling with that?

Best regards gustav

I have a screen scraper script setup to write to a text file after each patter application. Is it possible to modify the output script to overwrite the file each time vs. appending to it. I run it everyday and need it to overwrite the same text file so it will not append to it.

I have a scraping session that extracts the URL for a download file and saves in a session variable.

How can I reference this variable in the script below - this is not working??

session.downloadFile( "~#url#~", "C:/file.csv", 5, true );

The proxy server doesn't seem to be logging any HTTPS sites, which I can access just fine through the browser. Other sites are being logged just fine. Any ideas why?

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but I can see an option to import, but no option to export and there's an option to Backup, but no option to restore. I would like to be able to wrap up a project and start a new one, but I'm afraid I'll loose my project. Is this a limitation of the free version?

Thanks

Hi Guys-

I hope you can help on this one. I have this bit of HTML that is returned after you submit a tracking request, but can't figure out how for the life of me to write a proper extractor pattern for this? I really only need one bit of information from it.

The only part I need is the

Here is a snippet of the HTML that is returned.

Using ScreenScraper 2.6 professional edition.

Workstation A: has an "M" drive pointing to local volume, shared out
Workstation B: has an "M" drive pointing to that shared volume on A

(I.e. A & B are reading/writing to same storage)

Workstation A & B have the same ScreenScraper scrapes/code. In the code there is a part that checks to see if a file on the M drive exists (using Java File.exists()).

When running the scrapes on either workstation directly from ScreenScraper GUI, both work and can read the file.

I am finally working toward an end to the program I have been writing and have a big question. Currently the website I am scraping allows us to put in up to 1000 tracking numbers to track in one session. I currently have all the tracking numbers in a csv file that reads in and loops to the next. Is it possible for screen scraper to read in 1000 tracking numbers vs one by one?
