Webparse help

You have StringIndex=7 on one of the child measures, but there is no 7th capture anywhere in your "get" stuff. If you look, there is one capture in each "get" type, and there are 6 total in the RegExp. That works out to 6 for me, so if you look in the log, (About from the context menu) you will find an error "WebParser.dll: [MeasureImageDownload2] Not enough substrings!"

You need to revisit the StringIndex= settings on your child measures, and make sure they match what is being retrieved.

Oh, i was in the middle of changing things when i posted that code. Thats why it was still there. Ive gone and sorted it out into a proper layout now. But its still doing odd things, Like i need to have a #GET# before the first image #GET# else it wont load the image.

Code: Select all

Also back to the last question:

"The Pictures are wrong because im using them in a later #GET#, Is there anyway to counter act this without having to use multiple "RegExp" Measures?"

its also showing something odd there, Its reading the first name (which is 2 away from the real one) then it skips to the 4th one away, when it should say the third one away.

I would attack the entire skin a bit differently. Something like this:

Use my skin so you can see what it does, then tear it apart until you understand how it works. I am glad to answer any questions about why / what / how it works.

[kennyist]

Thanks alot. I didnt think it would work that way so easily. I get how it works and added a few test things to it. Thanks again for all the help.

NOT NEEDED

Hmm, I've now hit another problem. The site has just been updated with a new feature, This feature interferes with what ive got at the moment as it adds this :

Code: Select all

		
					<div class="title"><span class="new">Contributor:</span> <a href="/giveaway/Tcxqs/darksiders-ii">Darksiders II</a> <span style="color:#c9cdcf;">(50P)</span></div>
							<div class="description">
								<div class="time_remaining">
									Open for another <strong>4 days </strong><span style="margin-left:5px; color:#b5b8be;">(Created <strong>1 hour </strong> ago)</span>								</div>
								<div class="clear_both"></div>

So instead of getting time left and entries from the one thats now below it, it gets that. I cant use another #get# to get around it as it only appears every so often. So im trying to skip it but that has run into matching errors. Ive tried:

Code: Select all

RegExp="(?siU)<div class="left">.*<a href="(.*)" class="game_img" .*style="background-image: url\((.*)\);"><div class="featured_img"></div></a>.*<div class="title">.*Contributor:</span>.*<div class="clear_both"></div>.*<div class="rounded entries">(.*)</div>.*time_remaining.*<strong>(.*) </strong>.*"

With the "*<div class="title">.*Contributor:</span>.*<div class="clear_both"></div>.*" Trying to skip that section. ( the <span class="new"> is also not there all the time )

What is the problem, I'm still trying to sort this out but still getting errors. Others i've tried:

Code: Select all

RegExp="(?siU)<div class="left">.*<a href="(.*)" class="game_img" .*style="background-image: url\((.*)\);"><div class="featured_img"></div></a>.*<div class="pagination">.*<div class="rounded entries">(.*)</div>.*time_remaining.*<strong>(.*) </strong>.*"
