[RELEASE] Scraper Editor (Based on ScraperXML open source C# Library) - Help wanted!

Yes, looks great. Looking forward to the next release.

Thanks for the sticky!!!

Version 1.5 is ready

Here ya go new release.
Download and ENJOY!!!

I'm working on a Help file that will not only explain the use of ScraperXML Editor, but give a detailed tutorial from start to finish of writing a scraper, some basic guidelines on do's and don'ts and good scraper writing tips.

Is anybody using this?
I need a little feedback, as to if there are any errors , and some suggestions for improvment would be nice as well

Will there be any tutorial for this tool? When I open working scraper, how can I test it see how it works? I have no idea how to use it.

Yes there's a whole suite coming soon with Help files

Just joined the forum because I wanted to say that this is a really great tool! Only weak points are the lack of documentation and some functions that aren't implemented yet. Once this is fixed this will be the absolutely ultimate scraper editor.

thanks, working on new features & documentation - but its going slow since my priority is to finish up ScraperXML, the source of the editor and the release are now availabe at Sourceforge

Does XBMC follow some kind of standard indentation model? I'd like for the scrapers made or edited with the editor to be able to directly patch with svn

New Release Features:

Changed things around in Tester a bit, allowing to set ALL buffers individual, UrlEncode data in buffers download webpages or open files to any given buffer.

Buffer Chase Mode, (When you are walking through functions, the first watch window will show you what's in the current target buffer, the second will show you the buffer of the last executed RegExp, When running a function the third watch window will show you what's in the Function's Dest buffer.

New window that displays the state of all buffers (ReadOnly and is disabled during RunFunction Mode)

bit off topic and probably does not directly relate to your app but thought i'd poke you in any case;
