Custom Export (CSV)- use variable value as output filename?
Posted: Tue May 29, 2012 12:57 am
Is it possible that the next version of Helium could allow include a new feature to allow us to dynamically/programatically choose the Custom Export's file name?
For example:
(as regular helium parameter/variable):
"C:\Users\{User Name}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Helium\Helium Scraper.appref-ms" "C:\Users\{User Name}\Desktop\file.hsp?param1=value2¶m2=value2&--starting-url=http://www.example.com&--auto-save=true&--auto-close=true¶m_exportfile=C:\temp\export.csv"
or, to save into the current working directory:
"C:\Users\{User Name}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Helium\Helium Scraper.appref-ms" "C:\Users\{User Name}\Desktop\file.hsp?param1=value2¶m2=value2&--starting-url=http://www.example.com&--auto-save=true&--auto-close=true¶m_exportfile=export.csv"
(these options would necessitate adding the choosing of Helium Variables/Params as choices for the Filename entries in the Attached Screenshot's dialog window (vs. only a file picker)).
