Missing Log Files
Halp!
We're missing log files - and it almost looks like something is deleting log files when a new one is generated. This is a real bummer. We rely heavily on logfiles for post-scrape analysis.
Is this something Screen-Scraper might be doing "for" me, and if so, how do I politely decline? :) If not, has anyone seen this?

Lost on why it will not go to results page
Hi all-
I am working on a scrape for a client and can not figure out why the scrape will not go to the final results page. I figure because it goes through the scrape so fast. If you go on the website and submit the form it will show query in progress for a few seconds then take you to the results page where the table information is. I am lost why it will not pause and wait for the results page. Attached is the scrape that I built.

Google Maps
Hello Support,
Is it possible to download the street view image from Google Maps Street View? I don't think the image is a typical jpg or gif format.
Cheers,

Incrementing Session Variable as a Range
Hello Support:
I'm scraping a site whereby a user can search for properties by a square foot range. I'm trying to set an initial value for the range, increment the range and set the maximum value for the range.
I'm trying to set an initial value for the range with the following:
BLDG_SQFT_HIGH_START = Integer.parseInt(session.getVariable("HIGH_START"));
Setting the maximum value for the range with the following:
Viewstate and Images
Hello Support:
I've downloaded images before but I'm having trouble with this one because of the ViewState. Normally I would save the URL of the image as a session variable and apply the following code to download the image:
session.downloadFile( "http://thumbs.website.com/pictures/thumbs_"+ session.getVariable("PHOTO_ID")+ ".jpg", "C:/Users/Jaysan/Desktop/Screen Scraper/Trulia/Images/"+ session.getVariable("PHOTO_NAME")+ ".jpg", 5, true );
But I have the following mile-long ViewState:
Missing zeros
I use a script like
value = value.replaceAll("\\.", "");
To remove dots from 8-digit number series. All work well except when the series begins with a zero, then the zeros never show up in the final value. Typically they look like:
5.7565-258 which works well. But a sere like 05.589-154 will become 5589-154.
Happy for hints
Login problem
Hi Guys-
This is killing me, been working on it for about 2 days now. The site only requires IE and I have been using IE via VMWare on my mac to access it. I had the proxy running while trying to login, but it fails everytime and will not capture the login sequence. I have about 25% of it, but the last part is getting me.

Prepare For Output: Strip comma values from numbers
Hello Support:
I'm trying to remove the comma from my saved values in order to prepare it for cvs output. I've been using the following code from previous scrapings with no problem:
New NekoHTML Tidy Engine
I just downloaded the new alpha version, and I wanted to mention that the new default Tidy engine, NekoHTML, is kind of annoying. It doesn't clean up the HTML that well (it puts way too much whitespace in), it doesn't preview well, or sometimes at all, in the browser, and any copied extractor patterns from my old scrapes don't work. I don't mind that it's an option, but it would be nice if we could change the default so I don't have to switch it every time I create a new scrapeableFile.
Web Interface Run/Running scrape not displayed
Hello,
I am testing out the enterprise edition 4.5. I'm not sure if this is a bug in the web interface or I set up something incorrectly but I'm experiencing the following:
Process -
I set up three scheduled scrapes through the web interface (all the same scrape, different parameters). When I clicked on the scheduled tab they were all there with the correct data.
