I am collecting specific data from eBay listings. In this case I am figuring out how to save multiple item image URL's from the main listing itself.
Selecting one of the images, highlights ALL of the images as one selector, which when previewed - lists each individual and unique image URL in it's own row (see attachment).
If I extract this to the table, it only extracts the first row.
I would like to extract each of these URL's into columns in the table, such as 'image2' 'image3' 'image4' etc...
Is there a method to save each row as an individual column in the table, or as a separate table?
Alternatively, I have found that each image does have it's own unique attributes, however I can't seem to make it select each image as a unique individual selector, it always selects all images. The unique attributes per image are: index="0" index="1" index="2" etc... and also alt="thumbnail 2" alt="thumbnail 3" alt="thumbnail 4" etc...
If I could define each image as it's own unique selector via one of these, then I can extract each one individually instead. Can I add these to the selectors by modifying them?
Thank you!

Re: Selectors: Extracting multiple rows of data into individual table columns
You can do this using a single selector that selects all images. But note that the columns must be already defined (they cannot be created dynamically at run-time). Since each column will always extract the first item selected by the selector, you can use Sequence.Skip to skip images like this:
Here, image0 will contain the first image (since it's skipping 0 images), image1 the second one, and so on.
Code: Select all
extract
image0
Sequence.Skip
· 0
· Select.Images
Gather.Src
image1
Sequence.Skip
· 1
· Select.Images
Gather.Src
image2
Sequence.Skip
· 2
· Select.Images
Gather.Src
