Custom Data Grabber - tonymgarner - 09-22-2017
Hi
Can the CDG be configured to store the Mask/Field name as well as the URL and DATA scraped.
Then I can do one pass at the scrape and with 2 excel formulas I can tabulate the data extracted into more user friendly form?
At the moment, I am doing 1 pass per mask and then stitching them together in excel. Each pass is 220,000 URLs' and there are 6 data masks.
Some of the masks have data for every URL and some don't, hence the mask name/field name would be a god send.
Thanks in advance.

A bit sad replying to my own post but I manage to do it.
I have 7 masks that get extracted in 1 pass and using excel, manage to stitch it together into a table of Company Name, addresses, postcode, website etc.
Well pleased.

@tonymgarner
can you list out the steps that allowed for 7 masks within 1 pass?
