Re: How to proceed on Last Page

That's how it's meant to work, when there is no next button, it extracts the current page and then it stops. Are you not getting results from the last page?

Re: example of IF

If this is an element on a page, such as a title, you first need to create a selector that selects this element (suppose you call it Header ), and then use the following code: Sequence.IfAny · Select.Header · [ifAny] · Sequence.Empty Then just replace [ifAny] with whatever actions extract from the p...

Re: How to login to pages

Here's how to use the login premade. If that doesn't work, this is how to use the fill form wizard to login.

Re: How to login to pages

You can use this premade to login. That works on most sites since it detects the login form like a password manager, but if that fails then it's just a matter of filling up the form like you'd fill up any other form. See here for an example on how to fill up a form. As for logging out, not sure if y...

Scroll Slowly to Bottom

There are pages where the content won't load until we scroll down to where the content is located, and scrolling all the way to the bottom of the page at once sometimes fails to load the content. This premade scrolls slowly to the bottom of the page so all content is loaded. It takes a speed argumen...

Re: Button link extraction

Have you tried using Gather.Link? If that doesn't work then it's probably a JavaScript button and that'll depend on the particular implementation so I'd need to see the actual page.

Re: JSON-LD LD+JSON Java Linking Data

Hi Ed,

Re: How to operate with variables and conditions?

Core.ToBoolean just parses a "true" or "false" value into a boolean, so it won't work with empty strings. But you can write your own function using String.IsMatch and the negation operator. The following will return false when the string is empty and true when not: function (text) not · String.IsMa...

Re: Is any way to change selector on the fly?

You could start by importing this premade from the wizard. Just right click Project Explorer -> Globals -> Import Premade and visit the premade page. Then you'll be asked for a global name (you can just keep the default), and a selector and gatherer. For the gatherer, just use Gather.Text and as a s...
