Scraping Same Element To Table, Multi-Threaded Question

[GDotcom 1]

I'm having an issue scraping the same element on each page to a table, each to it's respective cell, coming from different threads. It just seems to never happen. I've tried scraping it inside of a defined command with parameters. Even tried scraping to a local variable in a define command. Please advise. Thanks.

You can gather all the data into a list first, each column of data separated by a character that would not show up normally. Then loop through the list and split each list item based on that character and adding it into a table that way.

 

So each list item would look like this:

 

Bobby|23|Male|Texas Tech|Psychology

 

And later they can be split to go into their respective fields:

 

Name - Age - Gender - School - Major

Thanks for your reply. I'm testing that now. My issue is where in the script do I actually scrape the element so that it's local. From there I can save to a list.

Local variables are local to the define they are in so you can create a define and then run that inside of a thread.
