screen-scraper public support

I am using ubuntu 12.04 ,I could not find php file,there is not misc/php directory in my screen-scraper folder.please can you tell me where I can get remote.scraping_session.php file.

Great, ran two successful scrapes through the screen-scraper. Now, this site's search requests looks like any passed parameters are encrypted with a procedure unknown to me. Though the URL delivers a scrapable response I can't dynamically pass a zipcode to it -- through the scrapeable file generated by the proxy.

The proxy generated a scrapeable file with the following URL:

Dear,

Could not locate this in the tutorial or samples.

Hi,

I am trying to scrape from a site that has two levels of content that I want.

PARENT
CHILD

What I want to do is to write the contents of the Parent to a file and then write the child to a separate file with the same name but different ext.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Default location of Screen-Scraper's DB folder seems tb the Screen-Scraper program install folder.

Ditto File | Backup Database.

In my little world, that boils down to.... "Keeping Data On System Drive" = "Bad Idea".

Is there a way to move it to a "Data" drive - or, preferably, to a file server PC or NAS box?

Maybe something in the registry?

Hi. I don't know how to describe my problem elegantly, so I will just paste some examples of my problem. Thanks.

Bad CSV output

How it should look:

Hello

I have a desktop computer and a laptop. Both run with windows 7 and have the same antivirusprogram.

On my desktop computer running screen scraper is no problem.

But when I want to start screen scraper on the laptop it does not work.

I want to start the program on the laptop for the first time.

When I hit the icon to load the program nothing happens for about 15 Seconds. Then I get an error message from screen scraper.

"Sorry, screen scraper is unable to connect to its internal database. Would you like to view instructions..."

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to scan a site where the same pattern I want to extract occurs on different subpages, but those subpages can't be accessed via a parameter. For example, the pattern occurs on pages

www.mysite.com/a
www.mysite.com/b
www.mysite.com/c
...

So whereas normally you'd access the "a", "b" and "c" via a parameter (mysite.com/search?itemid=a), this would involve changing the end of the URL string following the forward slash after the top level domain.

Hi.

I'm a newbie with screen-scraper. I've worked with some tutorials and searched the forums and have not found a definitive answer:
Is it possible to have access to javascript variables inside a web page?
I tried to scrape values of a web page that are generated with javascript via document.getElementById("id").... and I have not found a solution.

Thanks.

I would like to scrape the same details from each page of a site. The site uses dynamic url parameters to display pages, e.g. www.sample.com/page.aspx?id=1 etc. I've tried following the e-commerce tutorial but can't figure out where to put the script to iterate through the pages. My script basically creates an int, counts from 1 to 1000, and puts this into the url.

Any links to similar scrapes or any help in general would be much appreciated.
