A simple one?
Posted: Sat Mar 26, 2011 1:24 am
Just purchased as it looks so intuitive 
Saying that, I have a quick newbie question. I have 3 successive pages I would like to scrape from P1, P2 and P3 into tables T1, T2 and T3. I would like the data in the 3 tables to look like this:
The problem I'm having is, when extracting the data for table 1, it does it all in one go - so table 1 is only 30 rows long, whereas column 2 is 200 rows long and column 3 is 180 rows long (there isn't always an article to go with the subject).
How can I extract it so that the information I extract matches with the correct rows in all tables?
I hope this makes sense,
Tom.
