Adding date condition to SS script
I would like to compare a record search scraped date string with the current date and then decide if a detailed scrape will be performed.
Would it be possible to get the Interpreted Java code?
Data record date has the following format MAY-20.
Thank you!

Hi Noelle,
Thank you for your reply.........

Have a great day!

great =)
That helps me lots, just one more thing: How can I add the time?
I don't get past this one: d = d.substring(4,10);
Thanks in advance

Hi Noelle,
Thank you for your reply.
Sorry for the confusion.
I already have several working scraping sessions.
I am trying to reduce the run time by implementing an if statement at the top of a scrape details script and just need some InterpretedJava help.
Basically I want to check if an extractor pattern token matches a date value.
I do not have a lot of Java programming experience, just PHP.
Here is what I have tried without success:
if(dataRecord.get( "DATE" ) == str )
{
session.scrapeFile( "details page" );
}
else
{
session.scrapeFile( "search results" );
}
In this case I am specifying the date, however the final solution should get the current date.
I have also tried your solution to a previous post:
Date date = new Date();
if(dataRecord.get( "DATE" ) == date )
.
.
.
.
I understand that either the DATE token or the date returned from the javascript will have to be properly formatted.
The DATE token is the string MAY-20 (MONTH-DAY format)
Thank you for any assistance,
Rob
