Screen Scraping

Post by marvinlb » Tue Jun 04, 2013 3:39 pm

I'm looking for a screen scraper (built in MacroScheduler) for online catalogs, - ideally one that can be used across multiple sites, or that can be modified to do so. Does anyone have one they can share?
thank you!

Normally you would use Macro Scheduler to create a script to "scrape" the information. I don't think anyone has created a generic one with Macro Scheduler. But you can write a macro to extract information from a web page using the built in tools.
