Manuel 1 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Hiho, I am trying to scrape a simple url. Did this a few times in other bots but this one just doesn't work. The file gets created but NOTHING gets scraped and saved. http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/0rzglwkp/scrape.jpg Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MiriamMB 63 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 the only thing I can think of is that maybe it's the way you're choosing it. You can send me the url and I can take a look at it for you. I might have a better answer then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manuel 1 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Sure thing Lilly. It's links2rss.com. Simply hit the convert button and you will see the feed urls there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRobot 43 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Any ideas? Hiho*, Try putting wait finishes between:1. the 'choose by attribute' and the 'add to list'.2. the 'add to list' and the 'save to file'. * You've not seen Snow White have you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theninjamanz 29 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 It's not /feeds its \feeds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRobot 43 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 It's not /feeds its \feeds Interestingly enough, I've just tried saving a list to file using both forward-slash (/filename) and back-slash (\filename), and both work equally well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gogetta 263 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Try taking out the $application constant and put in the full path, if it still doesn't work i am pretty sure its the choose by attribute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manuel 1 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I can't get this to work. I tried every solution in this thread without any success. Probably really the choosen by attribut thing, damn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRobot 43 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I can't get this to work. I tried every solution in this thread without any success.I just put in wait finishes as above, and it works for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manuel 1 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I just put in wait finishes as above, and it works for me. How many seconds did you tried? I had 5 with my test ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRobot 43 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 How many seconds did you tried? I had 5 with my test ...The two wait finishes just use the default 30 seconds; but it only actually takes less than a few seconds to complete the scrape and save to file.
