screen-scraper support for licensed users

Hi,

Thanks for your assistance thus far. I need you to refer me to the page where i can learn how to download a link that holds a CSV file from the screen-scraper or advise me on how to go about it. Thanks

Ok I am having some trouble "cleaning up" a text field for import into a DB.

The tex contains a bunch of double quoted (") and single quoted (') information. Thus when it iserts into a DB file it fails the import.

Any ideas on how I clean those upa nd replace them with "other characters".

For example would like to replace the " with a ^ and replace the ' with a ?

Thanks.

I'm using the latest alpha version (4.5.18a) of the enterprise software, and Screen-scraper seems to complete freeze everytime a scraping session is imported. Usually it successfully imports, but then you can't click on anything.

Hi,

I tried using the professional edition of the Screen-Scraper to configure firefox to work with it, the browser throws the following error when trying to access any website as I try using it as a proxy server:

Access is denied for host: 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1%0

Alter your web browser settings so that you're no longer using
screen-scraper as a proxy, then click here for help on this error.

I have tried other suggestions in the forum to no avail. I need to know what I'm missing out.

Thanks,

Hi Guys,

Gotta say i love the scraper. It's helped me out no end with some very complex scrapes recently. As I now have a load of scrapes I need to kick off each each day I need the batch files for the scrapes, in Server 2008 they don't seem to allow the same batch fies as in orther versions of windoze.

Here's what i currently have -

"C:\Program Files (x86)\screen-scraper professional edition" -jar screen-scraper.jar -s "scrape name"

This gives me the error -

"-s is not recognised as an internal or external command"

Greetings scrapers,

I ran into an interesting problem trying to download images from a freshly scrape were the images does not have any image extension. A typical image url look like: http://www.thesite.com/Handler/Image.ashx?i=6118

I normally download the images using PHP after a matching and filtering process and not using the session.downloadFile method but any hint on this one are highly welcome.

Hi
Im trying to put the current year into an text file when I write it with data that I scrape. Im using interpretated Java.

Ok here is what I am trying to do.

I run a SS session that creates a filename called abc_mm-dd-yy.txt. I run this session once a week and then the output is loaded into MySQL table via a script. However, I don't want to have to updated that MySQl script each time I run it (it runs via a task scheduler) to change the date on the file name. However, I need the versions of the text file saved to disk.

Why doesn't this work when I write out a file?

outputFile = "r:\\event_capture\\WI_Madison_Monona\\" + "event_details_"+session.logCurrentDateAndTime()+".txt";

Instead of the date/time it appends "void".

Thanks.

I want to get all the transactions performed over a period of time like for each day since January. This means that i need a file for each day and that i download them by date. I want them recorded in separate files per day. How do i go about writing each of them in different .csv files, please?
