screen-scraper public support

All,

As a newbie trying out SS BAsic, I'd like to ask for suggestions on how to accomplish the following.

I'd like to create a session that will search Google, and will report a certain site's position agains a selectiong of search phrases.

Is script the right approach for this? I was thinking about storing the list of search phrases in a delimited file, then looping through them, something like this:

First I initialise and start my session with this Spript:

The ScrapeFile "CoolName" extract some text that is save in the session variable CARD_NAME

After each pattern application I call this over simplied script:

Hello,

I am trying to scrape a site containing Korean characters.

I have Arial Unicode MS font selected, and have used both UTF-8 and EUC-KR encoding. I have the "Tidy HTML after scraping" function turned off otherwise and Korean characters are displayed as ?????'s.

When I run the scrape, I can see the Korean characters in the "Last Response" tab, I have an extractor pattern which extracts Korean characters and displays the correct characters in the scraping session log.

My problem is this:
I was using screen scraper and windows crash... after reboot when I try to launch screen scraper I don't see any screen scraper windows. surprisingly in the task manager-process I see the program!!! How can I solve the problem?
THX

Would someone be so kind to take a moment to help me out. I have had several all night sessions to figure this out but have been unable to move my scrape to the next page. The line of HTML the next link is located in is below. I know that this is probably more than is needed but I didn't want to accidentally leave something out. I don't know much java but have been learning during the last month. I tried the variation given in the forms and APIs on this site and haven't had luck.

First, love this piece of software. It's been a great help! If I wasn't in college and had a real job, I'd definitely pay for the full version.

I found that the web interface can set Scheduled.can I use soap or RemoteScrapingSession to set Scheduled?

Hi,

I am trying to scrape the Bid history table from www.swoopo.com (if you click on any random auction, it's the table to the mid right, with BID, BIDDER, TYPE). I was expecting this to be pretty easy as it's obviously just text, but I can't for the life of me find it in the source. I think it must be dynamically generated by the javascript, but I would have thought it would end up in the source code. Anyone any idea how I would get at this data?

Cheers

I am grateful for any and all help I can get!
I can't seem to figure out how to set the scraper to automatically crawl through pages.

Page structure: *some*site . com/pagetitle.aspx?itemID=(# goes here)

In this specific case - there are several thousand pages - how can I program to scrape the range?

I'm stumped, this software isn't as user friendly as i'd like.

First off i'm having problems with the proxy on mac.
There's no instructions, on how to do set it up. Therefore nothing is being recorded thru it.
