Multiple Sequences
Hello Support:
Some of my extractor patterns are generating multiple sequences. For some extractor patterns I'm interested in the first sequence and others the last sequence. For extractor patterns where I'm interested in the last sequence it's working fine because as you know it is saving the last sequence. Is it possible to save the first sequence?
By the way, I've tried to extract only the first sequnce but was not able to consistently.
Thanks,
Adrian
Save Freezes Program in Workbench Mode

The "Save" freezes when I'm in workbench mode. I'm running XP Pro and have version 4.5.47a but have noticed it intermittenly with other versions. Has anyone reported the same problem?

Missing datapoints when scraping in server mode
Gentlemen,
A strange error occurred when I updated to the last alpha 4.5.47a, running on Linux. Several of my old scrapes lost data points when the scrapes are running in server mode but when I run them in the workbench they return the values correctly. Seems like its only affecting values that have special chars surrounding, like: "Olá ~@MISSING_VALUE@~ scrapers".

Session Stop Function?
Is there an availabkle method to simply cause a session to stop after xx loops?
For example:
if (counter > 5)
session.breakpoint();
else
session.scrapeFile("abcxyz");
This works, but does not seem top free up my sessions when I run it from a command/batch.
Is there something like
session.end
session.stop
session.terminate
Please advise.
Thanks.
Concurrent sessions
Hi
I am new to SS and using the following script to extract prices that are calculated on a pricing site.
It works fine and takes about 12-15 seconds to run through one record.
I have up to 50.000 records and therefore I need to speed up the process.
Can you help me make my script scrape the pages in parallel with for example 10 concurrent scrapes?
Thanks

Table layout extractor pattern
Hi Guys-
I have been looking over this website I have been trying to make the appropriate extractor pattern for, but a little confused on how to properly get this information. I tried using a datarecord then parsing it out via a sub-extractor, but still not a good output. In the long run I need to get this outputted to excel.
I also attached an image to you can see what the website looks like. Just change filename from .txt to .jpg
Here is the HTML code example, it is basically a table with two headers in each little table:
Disappearing content
This has me stumped.
Some of the content (in this case, a hyperlink) appears in the normal web page, but the source code (in the Last Response section) is missing it. But it is in the source code of the regularly-called web page.
I've attached a simple session file for your review.
(i've renamed the .sss to .txt so it could be attached.)
Thanks for any suggestions.
