Awasu Forums

This plugin tells you if a page has changed, although not what's changed, which is not quite as good as WebScrape, but a lot easier if you're new to regular expressions.

What information do you want to extract from the page?

The WebScrape plugin uses regular expressions to extract the information of interest from a page. There are examples in the wiki page, and the ZIP file comes with a help file, but you need to know how regular expressions work.

Back to today's test (29may17), the link fails in Awasu, but succeeds in IE, which doesn't make any sense to me. None of this is a big deal for me, as these types of crashes are very rare, and when I do encounter them I use "Open in default browser" to open the page in Firefox, but I thought I "chi...

I take it the page opens OK in IE?

IE has some sort of crash protection that it wraps around the MSHTML control (probably the "recovering webpage" thing you see sometimes), that other apps don't get, so a page will open OK in IE, but crashes in something else that has an embedded browser

OK, I've tried and I've tried, but I can't get Awasu to crash. I s'pose I should take that as a good thing :roll: Try setting the registry key to 11000 or 11001 (decimal). You won't be able to do in RegEdit, since Awasu will overwrite it when it starts up, so create a DEBUG.INI file like this: [Enha...

:lol: You think of everything! Yah, just don't forget to turn it off again :roll: BTW, I got a crash dump from him when he tried this, so the crash handler is working, just not in this particular case (same as for you). Open the URL inside Awasu, but outside the channel (File|Open web page), displa...

Also crashes if try inside Awasu, but outside the channel (any of the File|Open web page/tab options) but will (File|open|new window) OK. Are you talking about the menu options in a separate IE window, running outside of Awasu? I was referring to the File|Open web page menu option inside Awasu. Oth...

After recent 3.1 upgrade, Awasu gives “Awasu has stopped working “ error whenever I access a Reuters site. The URL you gave is for a normal HTML page, not a feed, so I'm guessing you mean Awasu crashes whenever you try to open a Reuters web page...? Does the crash handler come up? It should offer t...

Try removing the _PORTABLE file - does Awasu start? Does the path in the error message look correct? i.e. if Awasu is installed in C:\AWASU , then the path should be C:\AWASU\Users\portable\config.ini Create a file called Users\portable\debug.ini that looks like this: [MessageLog] Startup = 1 and tr...

There are a few settings that control what feed items are returned. If you open a channel's Properties dialog , at the bottom-right of the first tab, you'll see 3 settings: Show feed items Show the last Feed content They're probably set to "Default" , so to check the global default setting, open the...

Awasu get data from Awasu servers? What does mean? Ads are identified by looking for certain content embedded in the feed. Awasu regularly downloads rules from awasu.com for identifying this content, so if the advertisers change how they embed their ads in feeds, we can update these rules and your ...

So feeds generated from search will not updates on new settings, but only when I click on them? Search channels run a search query, the same as if you did one yourself from the UI, and returns the results as a feed. So, if you're restricting search index updates, you need to first update the search...

Please don't :lol: to hard, the SSD is from 2016, the NVIDA video card is from 2010 or 2011, and the rest of the PC is from 2008. No, it's good to hear that Awasu still runs well on older hardware :) But this reminded me of another possible explanation: virus checkers are notorious for slowing thin...

I change option as you sugested two post above get me a lof of crushes. After rebuild database Awasu start working normaly and update content. Is that a normal behaviour? No, crashes are never normal :) It's just a coincidence you got a corruption in the search index at the same time you changed th...

Where should be a icon? It will appear inline in the browser page, at the point where the content was removed (it has a little Awasu logo, and says "content removed'). In cases like this, you can set up a little test feed in a file on your PC, with, say, a <script> tag in the item content, then sub...
