Need help with scraper, removing space

stacked · 2009-07-08 10:10

Code:

            <RegExp input="$$1" output="&lt;url function=&quot;GetTrailer1&quot;&gt;http://www.site.com/?q=\1&lt;/url&gt;" dest="5+">

                <expression>&lt;title&gt;([^&lt;]*)&lt;/title&gt;</expression>

            </RegExp>

This returns the url with the found expression. eg "http://www.site.com/?q=The Movie". But somehow this url returns an error in curl. If the url was "http://www.site.com/?q=The%20Movie", everything would work. How can I replace all the space found from the expression with %20?

btw, would trim help me here?

Code:

<RegExp input="$$1" output="\1%20\2" dest="5">

  <expression repeat="yes">(.*?) (.*)</expression>

</RegExp>

I tried that, but it only works on titles with two words. If there are more than two words, the spaces aren't replaced by %20.

btw, is it possible to scan a movie with imdb, then scan it again with another scraper to just add a trailer without replacing any other details?

no, but you can add the trailer lookup to the imdb scraper.

you need to massage the expression a bit to accept more than one space, it was just to give you the idea.

Code:

<RegExp input="$$1" output="\1%20\2" dest="5">

  <expression repeat="yes">(.*?) ([^ ]*)</expression>

</RegExp>

or thereabout should do it

Isn't there an encode attribute to the RegExp tag, that should do the trick?

BTW, nor the \s construct, neither the trim switch match TAB characters...
