Hello,

I have a scraper which sometimes builds incorrect search url. Dharma Rc1 is used.

CreateSearchUrl is following:

<CreateSearchUrl dest="3">
<RegExp input="$$1" output="&lt;url&gt;http://yamsonline.com/component/content/?option=com_jmovies&amp;Itemid=69&amp;task=mov_search&amp;movnme=\1&amp;search_mov=Search&lt;/url&gt;" dest="3">
<expression>(.*)</expression>
</RegExp>
</CreateSearchUrl>

I use folder name for lookups.
So for folder
a (1899)
Search url is correct

15:10:00 T:1472 M: 89997312 DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: Scanning dir 'c:\tmp\scraper\a (1899)\' as not in the database

15:10:00 T:1472 M: 89866240 DEBUG: FileCurl::Open(042FEE2C) http://xxxxonline.com/component/content/...mov=Search



But for folder
a (1900)
Scraper engine cuts digits with brackets and only "a" is left.

This is true for numbers above 1900.
Numbers below 1900 work correctly.

Looks like a bug or not?

Thank you

not a bug. we assume it's the year and thus strip it off. it's avail in $$2. this is very useful for search engines that allows specifying it in a separate field.

Thanks for reply. Now it is clear.

But could you advise how to add ($$2 ) to search url only if it is set.
I tried "conditional" statement but failed.

Thanks

basically do both then copy the one you want to the resulting buffer

Code:

<RegExp input="$$1" output="url \1 ($$2)" dest="5">
  <expression>..</expression>
</RegExp>
<RegExp input="$$1" output="url\1" dest="6">
  <expression>..</expression>
</RegExp>
<RegExp input="$$2" output="$$5" dest="3">
   <expression>.+</expression>
</RegExp>
<RegExp input="$$2" output="$$6" dest="3>
  <expression>^$</expression>
</RegExp>

hopefully you get the point

[spiff]

alternatively you can do something ala

Code:

<RegExp input="$$1 ($$2)" output="\1" dest="1">
    <expression>(.*\([0-9]+\))</expression>
  </RegExp>

before constructing the url. this will only overwrite $$1 IF the expression matches.

Ok, good. Thanks a lot for your help!
