Tutorial 3: Extending Hello World

Extending Hello World

This tutorial continues on where Tutorial 1: Hello World left off, and covers aspects of screen-scraper related to richer scripting and interacting with screen-scraper from external languages, including Active Server Pages, PHP, and Java.

If you haven't completed the first tutorial don't worry, but you'll at least need to import the script and scraping session that were created in the first tutorial. To do that, follow these directions:

  1. Download the zip file located here and unzip it. You should now have an "interpreted_java" directory and a "vbscript" directory.
  2. If you're running Windows, and prefer to program in VBScript, import the "Hello World (Scraping Session).xml" scraping session located in the "vbscript" directory; otherwise, import the one located in the "interpreted_java" directory. Instructions on importing objects into screen-scraper can be found here.

The following scraping session is the completed version of the Tutorial 3 scraping session.
