scrape a dropdown menu

[luis carlos 94]

I've tried to find out how to do this, but I could not.  Even I found some threads in the forum about similar questions, I tried the solutions and did not work.  Just need to scrape the list of states in this site (this is my code):

 

navigate("http://www.adoos.com/posting/", "Wait")
set(#statesscraped, $scrape attribute(<name="geo1_id">, "innertext"), "Global")

 

Thanks guys, really appreciate your help.

I think the easiest way is to use regex.

 

This should do it for you:

navigate("http://www.adoos.com/posting/", "Wait")
wait for element(<name="geo1_id">, "", "Appear")
clear list(%statesscraped)
add list to list(%statesscraped, $find regular expression($scrape attribute(<name="geo1_id">, "innerhtml"), "(?<=>).*?(?=<)"), "Delete", "Global")

If you don't want to use REGEX there is also another way, which you can find here: http://www.ubotstudio.com/forum/index.php?/topic/14577-drop-down-question/
