Extract Data

How to change character set when calling server from .Net?

Hi

Just downloaded a trial, and everything seems awesome. I have set up a screen scrape to a site containing the Danish characters "æ", "ø", "å". When I run the scraping session from the interface, the scraped data are returned correctly, however when I run the session from a .Net application calling the scrape server "æ", "ø", "å" are returned as "?". What character set is used when calling the scrape server, and how to change it?

I figured it out myself using this:

Dim Tbl As Screenscraper.DataSet = CType(Scraper.GetVariable("ProductDetails"), Screenscraper.DataSet)

Screen Scraper Extractor Pattern for div

I have one question that screen scraper does not support pattern where div directly called without any table or tr or td. So does screen scraper support div pattern or not? Any extra thing we have to install for div support. Thanks

Extracting data from tables with varying row counts

I am new to screenscraping, and have limited knowledge of HTML, no knowledge of scripts/Java, etc. I need help creating an extractor pattern for the following:

I have multiple web pages.
Each web page contains a single table.
Every table is exactly the same [format] on each page; only the data in the table cells change.
Each table contains a different amount of rows (i.e., page 1 table has 5 rows, page 2 has 46 rows, etc.)
Each row in each table constitutes a single record.

SS Ability - Help needed

Hello, I am in the need of a Proof of Concept to find out if SS can fulfill a need for data capture. I need to navigate to a site, submit form data (from a File/Query) and capture the results page by either parsing the data (to a SQL Db) or saving the HTML to parse later.

The website is (http://www8.nystax.gov/UTLR/utlrHome) and the there are three form values needing to be entered (2 text boxes and one drop down list). Once the form is populated it needs to be submitted and the return pages needs to be captured.
