Quick Scraper Question (Hope so:))

spiff Wrote:there is no <poster> tag, where did you get that idea from?

thought it's free. just replaced fanart.

well, all the time spent the last days struggling with <thumbs> and <thumb> should make it clear how you add thumbs to the result

Hey spiff,

after struggling the whole night and day, i just made it this now works and at the end it was easier then i thought the whole day!!! But i'm not finished disturbing you: please let me know if you could help me here.


Prob here is that it will onyl search for the first word.
for example: Das Hundehotel, it only search for Die, same for The Last..., it only search for The. Any way to change this

Thanks again

you need to run a replacement regexp, replacing ' ' with %20. something along this;

(grab the relevant title in, e.g. $$5)

Code:

<RegExp input="$$5" output="\1%20\2" dest="7">
  <expression repeat="yes">(.*?) (.*)</expression>
</RegExp>

As usual, i don't understand where to make this in here. is it an inner or outer or seperate regexp?

1) grab whatever you want to search for into a buffer (as i already stated).

2. run the replacement regexp

3. finally construct the url based on your new and shiny space-replaced title

  <expression noclean="1"/>
</RegExp>

Thanks again spiff, i now understand and got it working but now i think it only search for e.g. Der letzte and not Der letzte Zug. Maybe i have to change the expression, but don't know what the old expression is doing for now (.*?) (.*)

well, you should know what that does - it is just a regular expression.

that being said; my bad. you want

Hi woodstock,

ja, Danke Dir, habe dort auch schon geschaut, nur manchmal fällt der Groschen einfach nicht.
